Bravada

bare up to listen if you dare to words of poets spoken so rare within these words chosen with care timeless messages encoded there our hearts to the depths of love untold with in words secrets attempt to unfold fragility of hearts made of glass often broken by unnoticed pass our pride in country, family and God rarely is seen the road we trod giving life , health and limbs for strangers all the time knowing the dangers words that rang out within our hearts words from poets and prayers impart what once was living; resurected by art the plain, the shy, the cowardly depart leaving the brave, the hero's, the ledgends of heart to fight, to wittness the cruelty of Satans art and of life there are many themes each and every one pretaining to thee for there is nothing new under the sun for every battle there is a victory won to be a hero or a martyr some they know not but for the principle the reason they fought it mattered not the reward they got but what was right, was right and life mattered not weather battlefield or police shootout they fought over a little piece of land their parents bought poets know justice is from the heart and pens telling the story is our part when justice is justice and laws are unjust the feelings poets commandeer and rush

Wisdom can be as fleeting as the brief glimmer of innocence we so rarely experience. But when that innocence is captured by light and framed for life, as wisdom can be inscribed in words, it seems eternal. And although my own philosophies may grind against your words, I I do not regret having set aside my preconceptions about the world and taken time to grow from your words.

Hey John! This is a powerful piece..justly written. It projects what most will acknowledge and embrace. "words" do "ring out within our hearts"...somethings a tinkle, other times a gong!:) So, you had been a Mr Snide, huh? Did you pinch then run off?..If so I'll catch you!:) Hope alls going great with you...God bless you and yours...Mikki
