Spiral [vanessa]

Creation...
Man, woman
Enjoying life together
Hearts beating as one
Pure

Exposure...
Raw, vulnerable
Soul peels inward
Engulfed in quick sand
Shame

Naked...
Not ashamed
Grace being received
Tears mingled with beauty
Free

  1. I love the comparison of "exposure" versus "naked" between the last two stanzas. They are two similar things, but here the circumstance makes them completely different. "Shame / Naked.../ Not ashamed" Great transition.

    I also like the idea of "Naked.../not ashamed" as preceding the reception of grace. The whole poem is such a great progression from line to line, each adding to the last. The middle stanza adds the perfect amount of tension.

    Good job!
