She bends,
broken;
life has stripped
all illusory
.
power and prestige
from bandaged
eyes. She knows
now how poor,
.
blind, pitiful
and naked
she has been all
along. So
.
she does
what she should have
done long ago –
genuflects.

Genuflects; we must if we wish to be blessed 🙂
True! Humility is much the greater alternative… 🙂
Melody, you’ve taught me a new word and blessed me with another beautiful post. 🙂
Blessings ~ Wendy
Grammar exam to follow… 🙂 Thanks Wendy!
Humility, very lovely–peony, right?
Bingo! Give the lady a cigar! (Or a cyber-hug??) 🙂
Choke-choke, cough-hack-cough–just the thought of a cigar makes me green! But I’ll take the hug, you betcha!
