WIND
A Double Acrostic
Silence filled both hill and holloW
Perpetual emptiness enticed I
Icy winter seemed a yearlong seasoN
Repeating dully throughout all my minD
It was the slate colored cloud that was I
Then through this valley blew a reasoN
It was a mystery stirring my spiriT
Not just the breeze that chilled me througH
This was deeper, something seeped inside mE
Held my heart tight within its angel fistS
Eased the flame I stoked under the deeP
Wicked furies against past hurts that I
Imagined caused my agony and feaR
Now forgiving all who punished me, I
Danced away under God on lighter feeT.

Larry,
I just read your last post on the apartments in Philly and I didn't know what to say so I came over here :) (I'm also left speechless by the comment you quoted...really?)
Anyway...
I enjoyed this poem. Very clever.
I like this:
Held my heart tight with its angel fists...
That is much more personal than a touch on the shoulder, no? I'm looking forward to reading more of your story. sounds like you've lived a lot of lives, friend :)
the words leave a heart dancing. forgiveness and the Spirit like the wind.
good work on the double acrostic, and your reading.
thank you for sharing.
Well-done, Larry! Acrostics are not so easy to do, and you've created one that is lovely.
