Strike At The Soul

.

“To delight

the ear and the eye

is a mere sensual

indulgence;

—true poetry

strikes at the soul.”

beautiful evening

inspiration from above

nature adores praise

Poem:

.

Quiet the noisy mind
Have it in your heart to be kind

Seek serenity for your soul
Make peace of mind your only goal

Learn to love all and include yourself
Find tranquility in and of itself

For others be patient and tolerant
Of wants or needs be cognizant

For those who have no clue be forgiving
The Creator has a purpose for all of the living

And when your day is done let everyone agree
I was the person my God wanted me to be

Love, hugs and prayers. ME and the Boss

Invisible

“The poet is

the priest

of the

invisible.”

twilight

in camouflage

concealed in color

birds chirp evening psalms

invisible

Haiku:

.

blizzard of brightness

an invisible world

a winter white out

.

Poem:

love lost, love gained
the backbone of music and verse
life’s tribulations to be explained

emotions usually hid in a closet
songs vicariously used to emote
seeking a ride on a fantasy rocket

love yourself, love others
some preach unconditional love
the best love comes from Mothers

when one is feeling down and small
it is best to remember
God loves us all
