The Music Of Heart In Verse Softly Whirred

What seems now old Used to be utterly new What was previously told We cease to over chew ***** All that is old hold a treasure If only we all knew Just weigh and measure Under the veil a unique hue ***** Out of memories we grow Been taught lessons to the bone We do reap all that we sow And for wrongdoing we atone ***** Pleasure and pain what we gain In a life not taken for granted Who can stop time or rinse rain Or suppress anger that should be vented ***** Life will continue to hurt and heal Vomit its villains to mould the meek Send its saints to instill ardency and zeal Never always the ones at the wheel ***** Deeply inside my prayers I recite To always endurance and faith embrace Be human of worth, decent and upright And paths that stain never retrace ***** A great depth of gratitude to God we owe For both strength and forbearance For age that vigorously flow And for the gift of Love in abundance ***** An abiding passion for her Majesty the word Delving into my smile and feel would draw The music of heart in verse softly whirred My poetic human soul imbued with awe.

Dearest Besma, soul sister, it’s been far too long since I’ve immersed myself in the shining universe of your poetic verse so full of thought, beauty and insight. The depth and breadth of your creative spirit and your spiritual “music of heart” is as deep as it is elating, “softly whirring” my heart and imagination to join yours in solidarity to explore the “pleasure and pain” of life in “gratitude to God”. An exquisite outpouring from your golden soul and poetic pen. Shine on my dear sweet friend and poetry sister. Your poem resonates with rich imageries of realities and inspirations. Warmest wishes and belated congratulations.. ~Susan

Congratulations on your contest win, Besma. This was a beautiful poem which I added to my FAVs list. I enjoyed reading your words of wisdom today and I'm happy to see you post again. I've been a little inactive for a few weeks, so I missed this wonderful offering. I like it all, but the last verse showed the spiritual depth we should all have as we read the Word and acknowledge the all-powerful God we serve. Smiles and Blessing, Bill p.s. Have a great 2024!

My dear sister Besma, your poem skilfully weaves together reflections on time, life's lessons, personal growth, and the enduring power of words, creating a tapestry of thoughtful insights and heartfelt sentiments... he final stanza pays homage to the transformative power of words and poetry.
