Remember To Mind Your Reason

In the darkest of times be the light of a candle but the harshest of crimes to let melt your candle *** Give, unmindful of a reason feel the heavy burden light remember to mind your reason fill your very soul with Light *** Like a delicate dove bathe into sweet waters well feed on the seeds of Love reach not the bottom of its well.

Dear Besma, your poem is felt deeply within me. In your verses, I find peace and guidance through life's darkest moments. Your words remind me of the delicate balance between giving selflessly and preserving one's inner light. Thank you for sharing this profound piece—it serves as a beacon of wisdom, guiding us to nourish our souls with love and light, even in the face of adversity. - Blessings, Daniel

We are interdependent and we learn tremendously from each other.. what I write echos what I live and encounter in my life.. always trying to be prudent and maintain a healthy and harmonious life.. whenever I fail to weather my inner and outer storms I embrace a gain despite the pain.. my heart opens wide its eyes and my mind shakes off its heavy weight and I start to clearly see the light.. Once again, Daniel I'm so happy to have you here as a wise amazing soul, a highly gifted poet so honoured to learn from and to befriend.. Walking the path of Life and Light and bathing in the wondrous ocean of poetry is a huge blessing not to be taken for granted. Thank you so much for your Beauty and generosity! Reading my humble poetry and highly appreciating it means a lot and adds a lot to me. My deepest regards and blessings.

Like a three- course meal, Besma, you feed us from your wisdom in each of the three verses. When the words come from a heart filled with Love and soul that must offer help to others: one can only humbly wade into the waters and drink enough to satisfy their longing to know Truth. So little time and so much to learn from your poetry, my new friend. Have a joyful weekend! Bill p.s. Sara and I are both retired teachers.

Besma, without doubt you are a candle and its glow reaches out. But unfortunately you are now hiding your light under the bushel. It has to be hoisted on a hill so that everyone can see your light!

No wonder a poetess of grandeur and inner beauty would ink such poetic and heartwarming words! Your altruistic spirit and your artistic soul flood me with so genuine feelings and honouring appreciation.. If only I could be the light that never fades.. if only I could have the energy that never wanes.. if I only I could have super powers that would manage time and place dimensions.. That would allow me to be ever here on PS marvelling in the wonders of my dear fellow poets and friends! I so much long to be among you and miss a lot being here.. so much busy at school and now preparing the mid term tests for my pupils.. always wishing the greatest of times with God’s blessings! You are of remarkable humility and beauty dear Valsa! Deeply humbled by your graceful presence and wonderful feedback ! My deepest regards and blessings. Love and hugs.

Besma, this is such an excellent follow-up poem to “Sea Limits Cannot Reach Just Drink Its Power”. Again you use water as a metaphor for Love, a”well” of “sweet waters”. Nicely done!
