Banished with blessings

I was blessed

with s i g h t

clear, sharp.


I was blessed

with m a d n e s s

distilled, exuberant.


I was blessed

with p a t i e n c e

elastic, serene.


I was blessed

with l o v e

idealistic, foolish.


How does that sound?
Blessed soul, am I?
L o s t!
...lost amidst my blessings...
... ... ...lost... ...
Never found.


No blessing will ever.
Let. Me. In.
Ever.

Into
that
n
o
o
k of your heart
where my blessed curse
.
.
.
.
hides.

  2. I don't know which is more appealing...the words or their formation! :)

    The blessed aren't always the lucky ones it seems.

  3. @shoegirl: Oh yes, absolutely. Idealism is most foolish of the lot.

    @thespian: No they are not. Not many things are what they seem - and if they are - they are deemed boring :D Welcome to the blog.
