These words just captured me;

Yet I desire that love's streaming
come from the ebb and flow of two alike souls
with opposite natures
creating a pure balance act
in motion and intention as well

I love it when someone takes my same thoughts and expresses them better than I can. Excellent!

    I love it when that happens too!
    Give me a challenge. Give me a topic. I'd love to see if I continue to do the same.

    Thanks so much for this six star review. You are so kind and encouraging.

This is really good and positive in the knowledge that you have known love and are now free to thrive within that knowledge. well said. A few little tweaks: "and inspiration to inspire" doesn't quite make sense to me but if you added "with inspiration will inspire" or something to that effect, does. I don't think the way it is stated now is grammatically correct but I love where you're coming from. I LOVE the entire second verse!!
I would drop "nine" after cloud as it's not really necessary and is so cliched. excellent

"LISTEN TO ME! I have words to share
and inspiration to inspire"
You always do- if we only stop to hear!-

In this moment
I am in the now
the ever present bliss of loving
to love eternally
complete peace reigns within me
questions are only minimal for seeking
answers are on the tip of my tongue

Priceless words here!- I so enjoyed this one but it wouldn't let me give you a six- boo hoo- hugs Diana

Makes perfect sense and is well written, though as a poem, I'd trim it down. But as a poetic response in a letter, it flows wonderfully with wisdom.

Loved the ending,. Which could be a succinct poem all by itself;

In this moment
I am in the now
the ever present bliss of loving
to love eternally
complete peace reigns within me
questions are only minimal for seeking
answers are on the tip of my tongue.

I am content, at peace
and ready for what is to come!


Bravo dear lady for your loving thoughts. Love is unity. There is no longer two in that state. Pure divine love is unconditional and extends to all beings. That is what Amma is.

Warm Regards,
rama devi

This is really very special. I really related to the sentiments and the imagery. I hope I didn't annoy you with my last review. I'm a romantic, believe me. What I like most about this is the simple but deeply meaningful words. Excellent job. By the way, your newest picture is really outstanding. Ray.

It is a good attitude and perspective. to look forward to the coming rainbows instead of always seeing storms. I thought this was good, Jewell.

Makes great sense and a very good poem. Love the free verse you chose to express this in, rather than a rhyming piece, as it flows as freely as your thoughts must have. Great job. Hugs and smiles, Susanne

to be in love with love
is the only way to be
for the greatest love that will exist
is right there at your presence in your midst...

I enjoyed reading your well written verse
it was a delight to have reviewed it... John

Hi Jewell,
This is a lovely poem full of wonderful musings on life as you see it. The flow is easy and relaxed, which gave me a great feeling while reading. Two lines jumped out at me...
"I have words to share and inspiration to inspire"
"knowing in my knower that time is never late purpose is always evident eventually"
Very clever and insightful!
Scott
