Dear friend, thank you for sharing these intimate glimpses of heart and soul. In spare and searching images, your words evoke both wonder and weariness - love's luminosity, life's fragility. Might our fragile hearts also hold surprises, as weathered wood rings with memories if broken open? And does trust, like sacred hearts entwined, supply their own bond beyond parting? I appreciate you offering these ponderings, and hope we may continue our conversation.
Thank you, Aug, for the clean insightful response. You caught my drift, for sure. Regarding the innate optimism, I have always been encouraged by the MLK quote, "The moral arc of the Universe bends toward justice."
May this poem clear paths for thoughtful discussion of how we can support each other in knocking down life's pins. Thank you for the thoughtful food for reflection.
You are the best poet on Medium Sadhbh! Keep writing your heart out. I love how you blend your poetry in with lessons for life! Thank you for your creating and inspiration!
Your encouragement for us to find our own voice within the grand chorus of poetry is inspiring. Excited to read more from Sadhbh and others in the anthology.
Paddywacks in substacks augment my life, enriching garishly a universe perverse yet unseen. The final frontier of endless unfolding dimensions of dreams dancing on the ceiling. That's why I come here, the greatest show on mirth.
Ok love was at first sight like a dream come true
My heart never left her it's bests to this day
Her hair of gold and eyes of love
We had our dream come true and Deep Down
My life is is weathering and Fallin pieces of my life
Her soft embrace and sacred hearts
We bond like no other and share our trust

Even the 10 Pin(a poem of hope)
Just as it took
Evolution
To finally surrender up
A flower
After hundreds of millions of years.
So, too,
Will she, likewise, surrender up
A 10 Pin.
Yes, even the symbol of Satan,
The 10 Pin,
Shall fall.
ON COMMAND.
No longer will it stir fear
Terror, Despair.
So,
It's a 10 Pin?
Knock it down and move on
"Get outta my way
Or I'll mow you down"
I'm not certain
When this evolution will occur.
ONLY THAT IT WILL.
Maybe a hundred million years
After a hundred million cycles
In a hundred million Universes
In a hundred million dimensions
Of time and space.
THE 10 PIN WILL FALL!
As easily as breathing,
Time after time,
Into eternity.
Yes...
Even the 10 Pin.
Hallelujah!!
I shall be released.
