A Bounty From Universe and Its Golden Bowl

A Bounty From Universe And Its Golden Bowl

Poets dream but reality wakes deep sorrows
world plots and schemes, as future holds our tomorrows
walking oft blinded to treachery and deceit,
setup and shocked, at world's wicked evil we meet,
many a pawn, in a world savage and quite mad
writing to give, wonderful blessing to be had,
within mind, a deep casting from true heart and soul
a bounty from universe and its golden bowl.

Poets may cry and even dare to moan out loud
for what is Truth's worth, if not something to be proud,
or Light and Love, if not set by divine decree,
sweet and gifted treasures gifted to you and me,
wonderment in living and our writings once done
hope given, that man stops stealing by war and gun,
within mind, a deep casting from true heart and soul
a bounty from universe and its golden bowl.

Poets may sing, even if sad and out of tune
with words cast a'plenty, even if thought a loon
bold warriors, with bright shield and a well inked war sword,
defiant- standing against, world's marauding horde,
yet neither as savior nor as a blessed saint
maybe a wizard if great beauty one can paint,
within mind, a deep casting from true heart and soul
a bounty from universe and its golden bowl.

Susan Ashley February 21, 2020 at 8:44 AM A bold warrior, indeed! My dear friend, your impressive artistry creates an expressive and intense commentary on the light and dark realms of humanity and of the poet's courage to stand behind one's poetic shield with a 'well inked war sword' (love that imagery btw) in hand. Every line of this impassioned poem is gem-filled. Robert, I especially love your last defiant stanza so beautifully presented. The emotion offered in your brilliant poem is breathtaking! A fav! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan Robert Lindley February 21, 2020 at 4:47 PM Thank you my friend. * Poet writes, an honorable man takes a stand. *This darken world, hardest landed blows delivers. *One uses wickedness, the other honest hands. *One a true villain, other a kindhearted giver! Your comment a godsend, and most definitely appreciated. God bless...
