Chiming hourglass soul
dripping sand like instincts
create a doorway
for eyes to see
beyond pride.
Stop the lost
from running.
Brenda Warren 2016

Strange, and not-so-strange stories and poems – and occasional ramblings that are neither. I'm happy you've landed on this page!
POETRY IS THE SONG IN MY HEART, THE LANGUAGE THAT I SPEAK, THE ESSENCE OF MY EXISTENCE, THE KEYS TO THE LIFE I SEEK.

Just my thoughts for all to behold
Yes, “beyond pride”. I had similar thoughts, but didn’t go that route. I’m glad you did.

I particularly like the title. Using “soul” instead of “self” has a real depth to it!

I love the image of a chiming hourglass soul so much!

Oh, I like this Brenda. Mostly because you don’t define who is lost, the seer or the seen. Also like the “hourglass soul”.
