unkindest of karmas
a girl growing full of curiosity
hidden with the forbidden
just an apple or a sealed vessel
- if worlds tilt on such equations
what hope? yet peppered with the punitive
our speck of salvation
to reach again or uncork the jar

1. I am nuts over this:

   “a girl growing full of curiosity
   hidden with the forbidden
   just an apple or a sealed vessel
   if worlds tilt on such equations”

2. Myths of creation indeed!

   1. at least hope was in at the start

3. Oh I see how we manage to bring down the bright-eyed hope… is it really growing up or being tethered for that child?

4. Laura, I just love the way this is worded:
   “if worlds tilt on such equations
   what hope?”

   1. hope does seem a far cry for the world sometimes but I felt more positive today – thanks to your prompt!

5. “…our speck of creation to reach again…..” What I love most about human nature, is how the spirit wants to rise……..

   1. glad you liked it Sanaa – thank you

8. hidden with the forbidden
   just an apple or a sealed vessel

   It will unnecessarily limit the initiative and learning experience. It just isn’t fair in the growing years!
