“Of worth I have no season no story left to tell.”
Of hope I have all reason to leave the living hell.
A paper thin skin with little good to give,
no protection from the illusions my life did spin.
Shed of me my ego’s shallow shell.
Leave me basting in purgatory’s well.
My skinless corpse of eons of age,
With more hope than at any other phase
my soul a blaze from the eternal light
My frosted heart melts from the love of God’s sight.
Wrapped in luminous light is this soul’s new flight.
The breath of the lord is the wind that soars.
“My wilderness afire wings are raised immortal to the night”
For my spirit to live forever in light.
The beauty of poetry is in the message to the reader…while it comes from the depth of heart and soul of the poet, it reaches the ears of others and resonates within them as they can and need to hear.

So beautifully done Mary, and I am quite sure our dear Sister Bobbie is smiling so humbly and appreciatively! And within that inspiration received, you provide a genuine energy that inspires also. Awesome post my dear sister!
Wendell is so right, dear Mary. I am humbled; I am smiling; and I am blessed – by both your words and your light. Thank you so much, and thank you for the taking of my words to make them better – by the light of your own. My love to you, dearest one. ~ Always love, Bobbie
Thank you Bobbie, You are a very inspiring poet I am grateful you approve. In poetry I do not believe one poem is better than the next. Each poem is a capture moment of emotions, thoughts, and self expression that comes from the Divine. And your poetry is Divine! Namaste, mary
This is very beautiful, Mary, and I love how it builds to hope and light at the end, or at least, that’s how I perceive it..I also like this line especially: “The breath of the lord is the wind that soars.” You did a wonderful job and I will visit Bobbie, as well…
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. Namaste, mary
