Every Beat

There is no poetry without within poetry...as, the sun a blinding light, if not for intuitive flame – we shade ourselves, not for the heat, but for the reason: the Presence that illuminates our own star, as near as the wish, and far as the vision will take us... one need not like all hearts, but know, every beat a pulse into eternity....

By the way, your eyes see what you want them to see...just as one pees only what you put into yourself; and here are cacti and here are my prunes...so accept my prunes is a cheap debating trick. There are many valid other voices and options between.

Gershon, do you know, right now, as we speak, Biden representatives are making deals with Putin and Iran to buy more oil...which will help fund Russian's war against Ukraine, and fund Iran's terrorism around the world? And you want Americans to go to war and be killed by bombs paid for by their own government!? Sorry my friend. Don't see your logic.

Love-ly. The last stanza makes it a FAVE. Also because: writers want to be positive/ popular, but "one need not like all hearts," is closer to Jesus's way. He sent the 12 to save Hews first ... He knew Judas would really be replaced by Paul's Gentile ministry of matchless zeal & unity
