Rhyme, ( When True Heart Speaks And Seeking Soul Obeys )
From the, "Seven Letters Never Sent" series(1977/1978)...

Note: 
To Live, Thinking The End Never Comes

To have lived and have never inked a verse
To have loved and loss, which is worse
To have died a thousand ghastly deaths
To have not felt passions deepest breaths
To have cried, when death, its black hand took
To have never seen her true loving look
To have regrets, that Time gives no more
To utter prayers, to loss love implore
To face the end, holding dark that denies
To beg crying, looking into Heavenly skies......

Eyes That Learn To See Beauty And Nature's All Poetry, writing what heart truly speaks. To record to gift, that which ones soul seeks. Eyes that learn to see beauty and Nature's all remove those blinders set upon man's fall walk in clear sunlight and feel what one should knowing that one has done all that one could. Poetry, writing what heart truly speaks. To record to gift, that which ones soul seeks. Reach to inner spirit feed its desire communicate with others, light their fires destroy those dark clouds that beset mankind and discover truth, living that is not blind. Poetry, writing what heart truly speaks. To record to gift, that which ones soul seeks. Love human life and all its many gifts allow heart to humanity uplift thrive in the glow, of blessings Heaven casts searching for that Life, that forever lasts. Poetry, writing what heart truly speaks. To record to gift, that which ones soul seeks. Robert J.

OMG! This blew me out of my mind. No fancy, words from me to impress you. (It's not my poetic style, Robert.) I abhor stuffy poetry and comments. I talk straight, only. In nine months of being here, hands down, in my book, best poem I ever read here. A FAV? How could it be otherwise? You set the mark high for us as humans and poets. You know the heart so well and more. This has to be a POTD. Love you, Panagiota
