Literary Sweets

A lot of faith goes
into every write – faith
in my reservoir of
words; in the point
of my pencil – and
the paper's ability to
respond – 

Faith in the Spirit Divine: 

hoping that I write for the 
good of humanity, and not 
just to further pen the powers 
of an insatiable ego – craving
acceptance and applauds:

those literary sweets that 
attract easy tastes but
diminish in substance 
and form after prolonged 
sunlight....

Such an interesting perspective here. I think all your poems I have seen are worthwhile.

Thank you, Andrea; I always give it my best. To be good poetry is never enough for me...I like to think that some of my works have social and spiritual value that transcend my personal sphere of ego -- I really write to serve a higher good. Who knows? I would write no matter what. Blessings my friend.
