Creativity Poems Creativity Help Guides Online ~ Milliande Free Womens Ezines
New Face I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart. To examine the dark mysteries of the blood with headless heed and swirl. To know the rush of feelings swift and flowing as water. The source appears to be some inexhaustible spring within our twin and triplemselves. The new face I turn up to you no one else on earth has ever seen. New Face .. Poem by Alice Walker ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Face I sing when my heart enters a space too beautiful to bear I sing a silent song which beams its light into the middle of nowhere My lips dont know the sweet movement of this melody My eyes surrender to the dance of sheer delight my cheeks are playfully following the inner glow of a woman whose face lives a story untold. My Face .. poem by Milliande
