About This Poem

Heart's Momento

Like the spring that gushes forth clean and clear The promise of a satisfying slake Anticipation bringing joy and good cheer. Faith is the souvenir when a lot is at stake When fate may give man some pretty hard knocks The promise of a satisfying slake. Sanguineness that overcomes bad shocks Fighting travails, then finding inner peace When fate may give man some pretty hard knocks. Perpetual optimism hopelessness belies Like an ecclesiastical beacon Fighting travails, then finding inner peace. The soul's quintessence can never weaken Radiance that cannot be dimmed, put out Like an ecclesiastical beacon. Sparkling, illuminating darkness, to spout like the spring that gushes forth clean and clear Radiance that cannot be dimmed, put out Anticipation bringing joy and good cheer. 11/11/2012

    Started reading hurrying(but not wanting because I like the beginning so much also) towards the end.. you've got yourself a 'mountaineering poem towards the top'. Respect for the balance from the beginning towards the end. Felicitations :+) Ellie Daphne
