Lisa Ricci Poet Light Verse

If I Had a Choice

"if I had a choice"

if I had a choice of freedom experienced by wondrous experts
gliding with eagles way high within light from heaven or
floating with whales amongst the far and wide in mighty seas
or running with horses along open land facing wind and the world
impossible the choice as they are masters of their own universe

they know not highs and lows of life of human competitiveness
they live beautifully as intended without hesitation or rule
eagles shall fly whales will swim and horses relentlessly race
breathing freedom with wings alive and unchained as butterflies
let it be said without pause all three prevail if I had a choice

souls of peace they forever remain
everlastingly each flawlessly reign

Paul Callus July 6, 2023 at 1:32 PM Your choices stand for the freedom to follow natural calling, Lisa. Animals are not led by rivalry, jealousy, and hidden agendas. They are what they are...we get what we see! ~ Your poem makes us pause and take a good look at ourselves! ~ Regards & blessings, my friend // paul Lisa Ricci July 7, 2023 at 3:41 AM Good Morning Paul.

Bill Baker July 2, 2023 at 3:32 PM Such a beautiful poem to start a new month, Lisa. I had to FAV this one. Your understanding of the beauty of freedom and a life lived from the spirit within is inspiring. We have the intellect and chose not to be free like the eagles, whales, and horses. We're still not learning the lessons nature has for us as a whole. Thank you for sharing you heartfelt poetry with us my dear friend. Have a great July! Bill Lisa Ricci July 3, 2023 at 4:23 AM Oh Wow Bill. Good Morning. Thank you ever so much because it is I who thanks you for such a review intake and commentary. Truly. I am beyond honored. What can I say I love anything to do with freedom and souls such as the experts that are in my entry (smile). Have a wonderful morning and week as well. May today be a great day. Blessings always and happy July to you. (another smile)

Victor Buhagiar July 1, 2023 at 8:30 AM Stunning ideas, Dear sweet Lisa. You chose three great creatures, an eagle, a whale and a horse. Great creatures though all have their problems. But forget the ugliness of life and concentrate on your stunning verse. Your poetry is superb. Smile Hugs and God bless you. Lisa Ricci July 1, 2023 at 11:07 AM Thank you ever so much Mr. Victor (smile). Hi. Of course the eagle whale and horse because they are magnificent and souls of freedom that live as intended. Words can not express how honored I am by this review and commentary Victor. Truly. Thank you. Have a beautiful night filled with freedom and more. Love and Blessings now and always. (smile)
