James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

Ringing In My Ear

see the light your eyes
describe, in every shade
from joy to grey

         ...feel the weight
your mind inflicts
with heartless, selfish
life neglect

now clear a path
with lessons learned

          and 
climb your mountain

.....left undisturbed

to see a world
your heart deserves

and laugh in weightless
gratitude....

 for all God's Gifts

the world to share
