Poets

(A poem for peace)

The niceties of life are always there
the Joys I have to share..
never depart
may fade to…
a velvet corner of my soul
as night may fall upon the day.

The bright surprise is always Dawn!
the night sunrise may soon be born
when Love
as a banner my heart has worn
waves in the wind…
Blowing sounds,
heralding Angels of Seasons’ future…

Fall of Surrender to God
Winter Winnings
Springs’ Paradise
Summer of Beginnings!

Passion’s Esprit de Corps…
(Three Archangels)
Victory’s Darlings Reigning over
humiliation’s defeat

Answers come and go….
questions arise and are quelled
by
Wisdom’s Quietude!

Sartorial laughter
Nirvanic endings
Karma…Karma…Karma
Dharma…Dharma…Dharma

Not Wherefore Art Thou Oh Lord???

Whatever is inside God’s Eternal Circle
IS THE TRUE FREEDOM!!!

Scattered souls cover the troubled earth with hope
While living each day in a measured lifetime
Humbly praying for peace in the in-between moments
Quietly, gently to the One, our creator/source
Surrendered

Overwhelming sadness, violence bombards from all directions
Forces my being to seek a solution, a better way
Search within, voices tell me, wisely echoing the sages
Gladly, tearfully, I open my heart, my soul, waiting
Patiently

That which seems hopeless is a sunrise waiting
A new and ancient light brought forth from the Great Life Force
Reflecting a brilliance in the eyes of my brothers and sisters
I witness you are praying too, going within, for Peace …
For All

Take a look inside of me, you’ll discover a treasure
I’m not only what you see, my soul is without measure
All is lost on the vain, with looks that fade away
I have so much love to give, is that not why you’d stay?

Does size and form really matter, when the gold is within
I’ve heard too many lies, and oh, what a sin to think
I am only what you see, even though I’m aware
That the world judges us by the clothes that we wear
And how much care,
Must I take, to please the shallow mind
When it only matters in the end, if I was loving and kind
Take a look inside of me, you’ll discover a treasure
I’m not only what you see, my soul is without measure
I’m not only what you see, truthfully,
I am you
And you are me
thru all eternity…
