Constance La France Poet Ballade

Notes About The Poem

My Earthly Journey

 
"Embracing the teachings of God and Tao "
            Quote by _Constance


Earth

I am a fragment on this sphere of Earth,
Not even a dust speck on the terrain;
My quest long to spiritual rebirth,
The way both beautiful and full of pain.
Oh, my heart and soul are scarred with death's stain,
But, I have arrived to the here and now;
I am a part of this earthly domain,
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

Life

The path in life was been a twisted road,
All those ups and downs are now my essence;
The why- words and poems have overflowed,
My life one of stillness and quiescence.
And life is full of perfect quintessence,
Faith and meditation each day I vow;
Thus rewarded with glowing candescence, 
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

Purpose

I often struggle with my earthly way,
it is about creating in the end;
oh sure there are some days I go astray,
above life's hardships I wish to transcend.
And in a bouquet I gather each friend,
to the Lord with sweet devotion I bow;
and have been blessed with the skill of words penned, 
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !

In my deep consciousness the pain I mend, 
in mindfulness I find the way and how;
and to the sky like birds words I send
embracing the teachings of God and Tao !
