Awesome Gems, As Were Set By Divine Measure

Awesome Gems, As Were Set By Divine Measure The Sun, a shimmering sky fired lake Oft penetrating the soul, body and heart No worries, shining glow it never fakes Radiant beauty it freely imparts! Who has never sang praises for its gifts Those stirring dawns, its beauty basking in Flow, oft as fine as a great guitar rift Bequeathing, that which we beg for again! The Sky, O' the grace of its flowing blue Oft so deeply -setting hearts aflutter In youth, we reached for it as we grew Tho' from its raging storms we oft shutter Awesome when we see heavenly night views And dare to ponder in our wealth of dreams Oft we'd fly up to live if we could choose Float away in its bright galactic streams! The Sun, the Sky, our earth's beautiful dome Indeed, both a most sweet blessed treasure Nature's allies - its bounty in this our home Awesome gems, as were set by divine measure! Robert J. Lindley, 6-22-2021 Rhyme, ( Dreams And Word Painting The Beauty That Came Forth ) Note: This creation, inspired by a most blessed and beautiful dream last night. A poet must consider such golden treasure as is gifted and rise to the occasion to preserve it in poetic verses, to give back unto the world. Even when ones muse says, "you are not up to the task my friend"! One quite simply must then so dare!

Each moment, even the very least of these, is treasure - to be taken out and polished when we are in darkness, or perhaps just when we are taking life for granted. What we have NOW is all we are guaranteed - the rest is dream or hope or wish or faith. Wonderful write, Robert - well-done! Faves.

Thank you my friend. That is the beauty of it, this Earth, Sky, Sun, Nature, are all free, in that we are born, "into it" to make what we are able to make in life.. If we choose to make more light, ,love and happiness for ourselves and as well for others- we have certainly taken a huge step in living a better life. Writing poetry, definitely to me, seems to be a bold step in that direction. If one wakes--to see-- they are indeed very blessed. Thanks for the fave my friend.. God bless...
