Of Poetic Verse, A Heavenly Illumination 


As Seen By Heaven's True Light

Vanity of shallow purple robe kings
Dismissive of Heaven's true saving light
Brutish and naked in darkness they sing
Haughtily shouting of their shallow might.

Robert J. Lindley,  70-?
Quatrain

*******

As Seen By Heaven's Soft Glow

Glittering stars illuminating night
As titans that vanished so long ago
We imagine them in eternal flight
And in distance merely a short stone's throw.

Robert J. Lindley,  70-?
Quatrain

*******

As Seen By Heaven's Beauty

Be softly calm and so quietly still
Let the soft flowing winds hear no sad cries
Tis love that eager heart so truly fills
And Heaven's beauty that graces night skies.

Robert J. Lindley,  70-?
Quatrain

Note: Three quatrains that were born back in the late 70's.
I do so regret whenever  I find my old poems
with either no notes or else incomplete notes.

They've certainly stood the test of time Robert, brilliantly composed. Tom

Thank you my friend. I always regret when I find my old poems without notes or else with incomplete notes. And nobody to blame but the "lazy" poet author.. At least a vague memory tells me that they were written together in the 70's.... God bless...
