Love and Truth

Some will ignore the things I am saying Some will see it as what they were praying A feeling of Love that’s everlasting A knowing of Truth just by my asking When I look inside there’s light in my heart I see Truth and Love despite the dark All that is worthy must grow from inside For in all creation love doth abide Daily allow your love and truth to grow Freely share them both wherever you go Others will listen to truth that you know When the love inside you begins to show The essence of Love and Truth are the same They were already here before we came

Your sonnet has a wonderful message and one I hope everyone gets to experience and follow.. It flows really well and the rhymes are spot one... the final couplet is the perfect ending and truth..

Thanks for the compliments on my poetry, S1. Many times, when I write from the thoughts that come to me, I feel so small and realize how little I truly know. I don't think we're meant to know it all. Truth is revealed to each of us on a need-to-know basis. Sometimes I think we receive more if we are willing to share it with others. Have a pleasant day. Bill

A wonderful write. Love your line, "Daily allow your love and truth to grow." If everyone would do this. How great would that be. Have a wonderful/blessed weekend..........

Passion and integrity are significant. They symbolize a person who knows himself well and uses deliberate, honest speech in interacting with people from various walks of life. Immersing oneself in your writing is joyful and fulfilling. A fave for me

“ The essence of Love and Truth are the same They were already here before we came” how profound and true. Some may not listen but im listening, im reading this brilliant sonnet thats flowing with nothing but wisdom and compassion, beautiful reminder to all, that all thats worthy grows from within, and theres so much there that we can offer and share.

your beautiful sonnet described timeless qualities of Truth and Love. You are wise, my dear hubby, and sometimes I forget that all that wisdom is floating around in your head and heart. Nonetheless, I'm grateful for it and your caring, sensitive words. hugs, westside writing bear

Amen, love it , truth, love and light , once we get pulled out of darkness then understanding and sorrow for others , should leave one in humility of knowing it was not of own works but the promised spirit shining light of His message within, take care what a blessing to read,, and given the opportunity to meet you and your wife , what a team you all are
