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…..

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.

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+
