A Passionate Pursuit

“I have

defined poetry

as a ‘passionate

pursuit of

the Real.”

real
as pure
just as is
not at all false
true

passionate
most intense feeling
heart ablaze

Poem:

mystical, magical, an awesome miracle
for those in recovery it is empirical
in life there are no mere coincidences
there are only fortuitous God incidents

born with a brain on backwards
most grew up to become bad actors
the on / off switch definitely broken
surely quite unique but still a token

for those who never quite fit in
keep coming back was a good place to begin
a warm welcome which gave many goose bumps
a fellowship using a Good Orderly Direction

a Higher Power by any name is acceptable
most of the miracles are barely perceptible
a backward brain does not mean that they are insane
the road to recovery is becoming humane

miracles are most often a change in attitude
many learn the joy of having gratitude
abstinence gives one a new life to be what you want to be
a soul who is happy, joyous and free

The Influence

“Only the very

weak-minded

refuse to be

influenced by

literature and

poetry.”

.

a rhyme
words that sing
what the muse felt
verse
.
Lune:    5 / 3 / 5
.
poet laureate
muse supreme
the greatest word smith

Poem:
.

let the smile be your umbrella
lucky are those who can sing acapella
music and laughter, a joy to be alive
a light heart will make the soul thrive

the best act is to be responsible
followed by being accountable
always choosing to do the next right thing
also being willing to change everything

the smart are those with a brain that is flexible
even luckier are those who understand technical
a Higher Power to guide ones thinking
forever avoiding the attitude that is stinking

may all of your dreams be in technicolor
earning the accolade of worlds best lover
