The Face of Man..." Collab Laury and Chris

We shared an insight

"The Face of Man..." -colab Laury and Chris

 

 

·I awoke this morning -

 

·followed the sunrise with painted thoughts

and found I didn't wonder anymore

 

·the wheres I'd been - nor the whys.

 

·All the eyes crusted dry with life dust

 

·stared

 

·through my window

 

·my "glass"

 

·into

 

my world

 

my life

 

·into me...

 

·forming not a picture within the painted lines,

 

·but rather a collage if one may of colored thoughts ,

 

·albeit by the blood red running thru ,

 

·and over their panes to my soul

 

·defining Me as not so much as an absence of living,

 

·But an awakening of a thought in a

·Mind of transition

 

·I still see each memory

 

·...and now as the breath slowly trundles ,

 

·forth

 

·the echoes flow and float -

above, below

 

·...through and through -- each whisper shouts

 

·another name and place

 

·another where I'm from

 

·a time, a day, a way, a life begun and lost

 

·an end awaiting the face of God

 

·...the touch of

·peace ...

·we never knew.

·

·Remembrances ,

 

· The ins and outs,

 

· So many forevers and doubts

 

·How it now reveals

 

 

Walked Hand in Hand .,

 

 

the many paths less trod,

 

 

passing quietly , never looking back,

 

on the one less traveled beside.

[Claire Twinn]

It sounds wonderful to find such tranquility and sense of perspective. The inversion of punctuation intrigues me, it kind of gives me a sense of going backwards - could it be the memories you have lived with that shaped who you are now?

[Chris]

Good insight!

[Dean]

Diiscovered you on the path to learning more of Emma Joy. I'd appreciate your
looking at some of my work...not with the purpose of hearing praise...but criticism.
I do get a lot of the praise, but desperately need some real criticism. You are
one that I would respect! Thanks.

[Chris]

I'd be honored to listen to your work.

[Dean]

Thank you, and I'll look forward to your reviews. I have plenty of stuff (or junk, as the case may be) on this site for you to look up,

By the way, I just comment on your collaboration with Emma. That piece, in particular was delightful. Usually, I have found collaborations to be disjointed. but that one just fit the parts together so well. I think it shows
that when you have two real poets with comparable intellect, they can achieve tandem writing effectively. I have not been able to do so with any
of those who have been disposed to try it with me. :-)

[Chris]

Perhaps one day you'll try one with me... it would be interesting.

[Dean]

Only if you then request it. In your case, I'd be very nervous.

[Chris]

It takes time discovering style and thoughts...

[Dean]

Indeed.

[TPK Stories]

beautiful collaboration...

[Ruth]

I loved this collaboration, two of my favourite writers here, smiles :) xoxo

[sharonlee]

Deeply moving... so rich in simple life wisdom x

[Rhianne Ney]

It's an awesome piece!
I love the font and howw it was written
;D

[WhiteWillow]

What a wonderful piece.

Life should not be full of regrets. We carry on the best we can, wanting more, wanting the best. But every moment of life is a gift, especially the lows that teach us, and shape us.

Regards to you and Laury on a touching and eye-opening work of art.

[emmajoy]

Time past has its shadows and lights, all to be held precious because there comes a point that who you are is what you've thought and done, been and felt.. and every bit of it wraps the spirit around like the warmest, truest blanket. And then .. then there's no need to balance this or that because life's what it is, and, all's well. Two incredible yous you are, sharing the same warmth and truth superbly.

There are special lines but diplomacy prevails!

[Chris]

Quite an insight shared... thank you Em.

[emmajoy]

You're very welcome. Added the comment to Laury's page, of course.

[Chris]

Perception and acceptance. The way to do it. Am I wrong?

[Chris]

Hi Ken, I think we've each our own understandings and visions of our existence - hence perception; and how we weave within the flow is a display of our - acceptance. How we affirm or reject is part our Karma and our strength.

[Ken Simm.]

Could not agree more. I should have said the ways to do it. Perception through various experience as demonstrated through this lovely collaboration.

[Chris]

As I said to Muse - Laury is good with "lovely"... chuckling here

[captain]
