Lost and found

Owing to a pact we made long ago, God’s angel appeared to us in disguise, offering to restore light we’d let go, arising from our life choices unwise but the promise came with a proviso, that if our soul seeks to climb to new highs, we must first agree to make our heart pure, with eye mindful, touch gentle and demure. God’s light, the angel said, is in our heart, so given this clue, known to very few, we deemed silence as the best way to start, for sans thought, our heart’s pure, like morning dew and thus simply by adding love to cart, we resurrected our soul’s light anew. Ego disappeared, God Himself appeared; we became the light, by sages revered.

Nicely done.. this is another form i need to try.. the thing is they all seem similar to me, just like all the syllables ones...

Each form offers a unique rhythm. This may look similar to a sonnet but the couplet comes after six alternate rhyming lines, with the added flexibility of employing as many stanzas as the poet likes, whereas in a sonnet we have to wrap it up in 14 lines. Moreover in the Ottava Rima we can use either 10 or 11 syllables per line, so we’ve got a bit of elbow room there :)

simply a delightful and uplifting read this morning--a reminder of the power of silence and the hope engaging it brings. I sincerely enjoyed every line of this poem. Inspirational. Have a splendid day, Sara
