A Soul Swirled in This World POTD 5-12-2021


                Repost of a POTD
                     5/12/ 202i 
       With needed changes …poet’s option.


Dedication to the late poetess, Connie Marcum Wong.
We miss you, Connie! Your humility and kindness are
a reminder to us, that life is greater than about being
a “winner.”

Love, Panagiota
  



Happy are we, who love the beauty of all things.
Who stand for the beauty of a newborn child.
We, who have soft, invisible, angelic,wings.
Those who believe in God, not in Satan’s world, gone wild.

We are surrounded by the media’s outlandish, propaganda lies.
That as we walk this earth, there is a mix of bitter laughter and dirth.
Remember thee, indeed well,what God said, “ Vengeance is mine!.”
And each of us, destined to die, under the earth to lie in darkness and dirth.

Pompous and righteous, of our sins,,we live in most indignant denial!
We who lie, we seek only personal, fame and all others on earth,defame?
All of us are so perfect, on our iPhones~we who constantly dial… 
While slaughter in the thousands just occurred, and we give it no name?

Remember, do not any leader of any country, as a god, do adore!
Only one man, His life, offered and died to save the world.
I see this in  poetry, waving palms, shouting Hosanna, to humans galore!
Ignoring our poetic brothers, left behind, in our self-righteous, vanity.swirl.

Her poetry is still here..she was a unique poetess and humam being. DometimesJohn, i read my old poems and wonder, did I write that! ))). I notice in my works.,there is so much of my convcictions in them. A life withoutconviction is a balloon flating in the breeze, it goes where the the wing yakes it, that is not me. The balloon questions nothing,, i do.)))) Pangie xx merci

Powerful with eloquent lessons all at the same time, Pangie! Your poems have conscience, something sorely lacking in many people. Like you I miss Connie, her lovely messages and her encouragement to everyone! She was a precious PS treasure and friend. Congratulations on your POTD! So happy for you my friend. Connie taught us much about being a person of grace. Sending you Advent blessings of hope, peace, love and joy!

Dear Poetess, what a moving, incredible comment that humbles me. I never see myself as the way you do, I feel meaningless here! Connie never blew her own horn , nor was she arrogant. Her comments literally hugged you. I want you to know I experience that with you)). Advent blessings to you my friend.Pray for peace! Love, Pangie xx

What a truthful poem and eloquent tribute to Connie, dear Pangie. A beautiful spirit of love to Yeshua. Too much tragedy going on in the world to concern oneself with chasing many poetic accolades, or awards for other things that aren't important. We need to consider the "Big picture." Thank you so much for posting this POTD. Much love to you. xxxx

Finally am back. Yes, Connie was talented and humble.love reading her comments…you are so kind to this world. You do much to make a difference but not blowing your horn about it!we forget others. Chasing pride is a lonely road.better we do something out of compassion..that’s a real win. I am glad I posted it. Thank you.pangie xxx
