First Flower

By boneplate

Such grace and beauty.
the moon comes out in the day to feel
her presence.


words so spiritual.
satan stops to listen,
to cry.


her voice fills the cruel world
with hope.
soothing the lost.


lepers strain to catch her tears.
finding peace,
if only for an instant.


breath that envelopes the world,
a dense fog
washing away sins.


to see through her eyes
is to see Eve.
closer to God.


she is not just any flower,
but the first in Eden…..

    This is lovely winding poetics.

  • A former member wrote: in an Elysian field.... maybe she beckons and I cannot hear.... to see her eyes

  • A former member wrote: again, i really like the concept in this; the sensual with the divine; a magdalene with the grace enough in and of herself. i think you should take this [possibly graven] image and write of it.......run with it.

  • A former member wrote: this makes me wish I knew her... but I've never met an one such as this.... heavenly in every instant

  • A former member wrote: dont know whether to envy this woman or to hate her; either way. .. . she is dire. you made her soft and luminous and more than she is with these words. pretty.

  • A former member wrote: This piece tells an interesting story. You may want to try and separate your stanzas a bit, in some places it's hard to tell where to pause and begin on a new thought. Just an friendly observation, excellent concept all the same. +tpu+
