The heart asks often, what is poetry, where can it be found
What is its essence, why is it so profound
A deep understanding comes from within
A soul that is searching will welcome it in
As old as life, a fadeless picture still
Wrote in the moment, becomes serene and real
From the heart that gives, so much joy it brings
To each listening ear, it runs smooth as streams
Towards the blue ocean, from every nook and bend
Poetry is ageless, to be remembered when
It can be heard in the wind, the sounds of the rain
The scent of apples, ripening down a country lane
A miracle of color, it draws a picture well
Burning words on a canvas, the heart does dwell
To one seeking answers, they will be sure to find
Though they be stricken, deaf, dumb and blind
When a poet has a vision, in such shining things
It's amazing how words flash, like lifted wings

DeleteHi Susie! I'm sorry I haven't written for a couple of weeks, the time has just been flying by. I am still recuperating from my recent fracture and at the same time have been trying to organize a big painting project of the inside of our house. We have some dear friends, a young couple who just started a painting business, so they are doing all the work and I just help with ordering the supplies on the computer and pick the colors. :) It is amazing how much energy it takes though, just having the house in "remodel" mode. But I am so grateful for all the help and it is coming out real nice. Between my back and my husband's busy schedule I don't think we could have ever finished it ourselves. They painted the guest bathroom a bright robin's egg blue and the front bed room is a light pink. The living room is going to be a pretty color called "vanilla wafer", which is kind of a buttercream.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem about poetry. You really captured the emotion, I especially love the last verse! It is so beautiful. I hope that you have had a nice week my friend, and I'll write back again soon. With Love, Delisa :)
It's so good to hear from you Delisa. I'm glad you are feeling better and so happy you are getting your house remodeled but be sure and don't over do it.. Don't worry about any of us. We'll be here. You take care and thanks for the update. Love and hugs.
