Recognition Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Unseeking Seeker. Date written: 01/01/2025


liberating...
the recognition
of a job well done; 
infinitely more worthy
than any trophy.
a chef's kiss explosion
at the realization 
that an accomplishment
is, at last, celebrated
that one crying for help
is seen and heard
that one is enough
for the Lord
notwithstanding 
walking with feet of clay
ain't it grand...
one soul -
out of a billion -
knowing 
how bright another shines?
isn't it a blessing
that he or she sees
the spark 
of the besmirched gem
deep within 
when the universe remains 
hopelessly blind?
it's an answered prayer.
