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.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/3/2024 4:35:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Besma Riabi Dziri Date: 3/3/2024 4:47:00 PM 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!
