Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Pathos

You PATHOS,

That fill our hearts and our souls with

The tempestuous desire to

Live in full every moment

By: 

Expressing each of our thoughts, 

Developing every one of our ideas 

And 

Performing all of our acts with

The intensity that divinity has
 
Intended us to,
 
We pray to you, 

Never to stop fueling our spirit

With 

God’s everlasting flame of love 

For 

Only in this way, we might be able,

His holy Will, in a humble way,

To serve!

Timothy Hicks March 16, 2016 at 2:46 AM Hope there wasn't misunderstanding. Of course you shouldn't waste your gift of teaching :) What I mean is that we should use gifts for good ... but also recognize that they are gifts (aimed at those that think it's of their own will power ... definitely not you) ... hope that makes sense. I hope to not misinterpret ... ha ha. :) Demetrios Trifiatis March 16, 2016 at 3:28 AM My dear, Timothy, if you had read my poems you would have seen that all you say I have written down in black and white so I cannot see the point of you bringing this to my attention! You know, of course that I agree so the question lingers... !

Timothy Hicks March 16, 2016 at 1:59 AM "Performing all of our acts with The intensity that divinity has Intended us to" ... wasting our gifts would be a shame! Forgetting they are gifts ... also a shame! I see that you do neither. I agree with Laura beneath me ... you love to teach. Demetrios Trifiatis March 16, 2016 at 2:31 AM What if one's gift is teaching, dear Timotheos? Should he disobey the call and waste his gift? Furthermore, let the others say what they intent to say and not interpret what they say in the way of your understanding! Remember the Favors and Flavors? Thank you!
