My Soul and I

MY SOUL AND I

The Spiritual harmony of the Soul
 notes I hear early morn
Better life may be the earnest goal
 yet weakness comes when born

Sunlight sends its beauty to me
 birds sing a morning tune
Life begets its wonderful mystery
 beautiful as light of the moon

Each day imparts lessons to learn
 hours gifted to be alive
Work done, midnight oil to burn
 on love one can thrive

Life now sends me gifts anew
 dances with a true love
Discoveries very old and true
 all sent by our God above

Gleanings for the Soul to tend
 salvation depends not on you 
For true love man must depend
On our Savior having paid all our due!

Robert J. Lindley, 10-15-2014

Man is a lost traveler , searching for a calm port in the midst of a raging storm.
His spirit cries out for relief, 
for a saving belief,
for love and sweet life to be a norm
Alas, tis not to be
life is oft a stormy sea
no refuge from it to flee
unless with faith , true salvation is plea....
simply, sincerely ask and will be granted to thee....

Thanks for commenting my friends. When one finds true love and gives such in return the harmony is always there. I once beat myself to death fighting the world as young man. Only in my late years have I found the true light. Love and giving to others...

By harmonizing our soul to be in tune with universal Harmony we may reach the shores of happiness, after passing through the storms of temptations! A profound and meaningful poem that elevates human consciousness to planes yet undiscovered by the many! Superb work and a seven , my friend Robert!
