In Response To My First Poem -Inner Spirit- A true and fighting spirit within us all surely must lay beneath this weak armor made of water and clay. Has it been destroyed in your life and soul, by seeking comfort, pleasure and another goal? Waken it if it still remains to be used for greater good stop playing the excuse of, if only I ever could ! Renew that gifted spirit to stiffen the weakened spine, take strong stands and draw many a hard line. Truly sad that we get only one weak human life to live, copy virtue , kindness and learn to sacrifice and give. Be noble in courageous thought as well as in all your deeds courage often springs from the smallest of little seeds! 04-26-2014 ~ ~~ ~ My Response He remained true to a dedicated and uplifting vow Although, a weak vessel made of red cracking clay. Years had taken a slashing toll, in great pain now Yet his huge heart still sang out in its own way! That terrible destruction time always seems to wreck Dark, sad seeds planted in so many weakening souls. Such looming obstacles hindered his long, lonely trek Prayed he each day with faith to reach all his goals! As many did in truth point out his stinging defeats He begged pardon, crying his heart did remain true. Only after helping others in their successful feats Could his heart and soul celebrate with all of you! Shining inner spirit, resting most secure in his mind Watching as his last candle flickered and burned out. Forever praying that deep love and faith all may find Lights flashing, he flew away at the first angel's shout! 09-28-2015 For 12th Contest, Sponsored by Silent One "Response To Your First Poem"
