Life is full
Of naught
And ought,
And second thoughts,
Of Hits
And misses,
Dreams and wishes,
And decisions.
Put it there,
No, here,
Or tell me where
It looks best.
A dash of blue
Perhaps of red,
Wrong shade
Try Instead,
The white
In between
The tangerine
To best be seen.
Cut it short,
That’s wrong,
Keep it long.
It makes you young.
Make-up hides
A pimple here,
Hair to spare,
See one, there?
Not fit for Public Square.
We emphasize
Those things that taunt
Both sinner and saint
Without restraint,
What color paint
The length of our tresses,
Our dresses,
Men’s praises,
Color of hair,
The shape of our nares,
How we fit
Into what we wear.
Take time to think
To contemplate
Just where
Our Father concentrates.
On love that penetrates
Like darts,
From heart
To heart.
On how we strive
To have our minds
Embrace His kind
Of peace divine.
On healthy souls,
Daily fed
The Living Word.
How sharp the sword?
On what we put aside
Of earthly things,
Not hanging
On to anything.
On beauty from within
No eye can see,
But never flees.

Good job.
Loving you in through and because of Jesus, the Christ . . .
Have you "thrown a brick"?

One thing puzzled me, though: What is meant by "the shapes of our nares"?
You had a great ending to this lovely piece, too! :)
