Sacred Contracts XXXVI: Giving
The Universe spins Us
favorably from yesterday
to a future of modern Poetry
Discarding end-stopped lines
opening higher harmonics to
an anatomy of free-versed bone
We've trod syntactical fragments
maneuvering impossibile nouns
Resisted extraneous adjectives
draining strength from sounds
We look beyond glass houses
into space between our stars
a black depth interfacing
the double-helix of two lives
I've absorbed more watching You
than listening to others showed
I've found Truth in your actions
over lies in their promised vows
The one thing I've learned
the biggest Truth of all, is that
beauty isn't in perfect health
nor provisional for Love
But upon the deathbed of a stray
which tests our heart in Faith
As the poor widow who gave
those two measly mites
sacrificing all she had
for the greater good of Life
Not for any potential return
but to merely Love instead
as You giving all you have
to strays without a chance
But what you may not realize
in your sole quest to provide
is not all strays are animals
but humans, such as I
who learned to Trust once again
through your willing sacrifice
not for any potential return
but to merely Love instead
~
For J . . . the most compassionate man I've ever
known or will Love and Trust in this Lifetime 💜

The author encourages honest critique.
Firstly, the photo immediately brought tears to my eyes.
After-that-ly, till poem's finish, I was and will likely continue to be an EMP .... an ongoing Emotional Magnetic Pulse sending out waves of energy throughout the day.
The inititial four stanzas set a cosmic stage and then you condensed the reader's focus down the lives and struggles of individuals on that platform. A sudden, radical zooming in of the camera lens taking the reader ( and me ) by surprise.
We make the most positive impact outwardly when we are just being ourselves, living our own lives and not interferring in the lives of others.
It warms my Heart to know that my being has enriched yours, for it is your loving Heart that continually inspires me to continue being myself.
I Love You. 💜📝

That photograph moved mountains in me too when I first viewed it. Unfortunately, the fate of the little kitten remains unknown. However, I'd like to believe the Universe intervened with Love. More than likely with someone like You, Who gives all they have to the rescue of strays through Love. 🐱💖

I really like this line, the rhythm and meaning of it,
' But what you may not realize
in your sole quest to provide
is not all strays are animals
but humans, such as I '
The photo adds a lot of meaning too, depth, it's a nice love poem that is universal, too
