How does it feel
to be everything impossible made possible
and real -
a dream drawing breath,
the star-spun wheel
busted and bested?
What do I owe
the goddess for such a striking show
of generosity to me
despite my animosity
toward meddling and miracles?
A (possibly dreadful) rough draft for Hannah's prompt at Real Toads

"......a dream drawing breath, the star-spun wheel....." How gorgeous!
" What do I owe
the goddess for such a striking show"
maybe absolutely nothing, except living the best life possible
much love...
a poem is never done, is it
You've chosen a great quote and made a superb poem out of it. I particularly like:
'a dream drawing breath,
the star-spun wheel
busted and bested?'
It does feel pretty wonderful, to be possible and real.
This is absolutely amazing ❤️ especially adore the image of "a dream drawing breath" sigh.. beautifully penned ❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
No one can do it like you, MZ.
I love the same portion that Sherry mentioned...love the twist on this thought stirring quote...for sure and causes me to think about how sometimes we can stand in the way of miracles.
Thank you, so much for writing, Mama Zen!! :)
This is glorious and thought provoking Mama Zen! I love the line, "A dream drawing breath"...the miracle of life, such a mystery indeed. :-)
I almost used this quote! I know I greatly admired all her quotes. What a woman she was. busted and bested is awesome. As is "despite my animosity toward meddling and miracles". Loved the whole poem.
Love the quote and where your muse is taking you
The "star-spun wheel" stanza is especially wonderful.
Love your choice of quote. The dream drawing breath sounds beautifully mystical.
It feels pretty good, and I've yet to see you write anything dreadful.
Nothing's dreadful here, particularly like the end, it speaks of a generosity, of giving without recieving thanks.
I am liking your "striking show". Worn and tattered, yet "dream drawing breath, the star-spun wheel busted and bested." Some special days are like thst, really.

I like the "star-spun wheel".
