the bluest moon ~ poetry thursday

basking in blue ~ Canon 30d

so often people listen without knowing the right words to say
so many of us never really learn to listen.
but every once in awhile, I find myself sitting beneath a rare
and lovely light from the bluest moon, who listens
with an open heart filled with care and discernment

your compassion ~ your heart ~ this interest in, and desire to hold
what so few wish or want to hold

is beautiful.

That's really lovely. I've been feeling really stressed lately, and I often forget to just relax into the God force and know that I AM held and listened to.

Love you, chickie!

This was just beautiful! And the picture in itself is so meditative, like she is basking under that bluest moon you speak of in the poem. I want to feel like her right now...

The beauty of this lies in its simplicity and heart felt truth. I am soothed, thank you.

As i read this entry to your blog it almost felt like a lullaby.

To be really listened to is the highest compliment someone can give you.

The stained glass window makes me sigh.

I got nailed by a ton of spam comments the last two days and closed the entries that were being bombed!

... hate it when that happens!
