Rise Out of the Ashes

Rise Out Of The Ashes


               Filled with apprehension the heart pleaded for sympathy

               Eyes desperately focused beyond normality seeks a sign

               When anguish mount while darkness insists on lingering 

               Do we deserve sheer punishment for misjudging gloom?

               At times love misinterprets emotional ache as an excuse

               Must it lay silently underground until it freezes for good?

               If even just one promise attains autonomy from disarray

               Plant a kiss, a subtle embrace, and rise out of the ashes!

Gershon Wolf November 14, 2022 at 3:17 PM I've taken your advice. Started planting Hershey kisses in my garden this afternoon. Gotta keep my resolution to eat chocolate every day. It's a tough one, but someone's gotta do it! lol. Anselmo Boles November 15, 2022 at 8:59 AM Oh good, make sure you water them with caramel syrup! Let me know how it goes Gershon...ab

Valsa George November 10, 2022 at 7:54 AM It is great to see your poems after a while Anselmo ! Love should be expressed and shouldn't let it freeze underground. An embrace or kiss can make one rise from the ashes ! Well said dear friend ! Anselmo Boles November 10, 2022 at 10:31 AM Thank you Valsa! I just came home to Florida last night from my cruise trip in Europe and Israel, I was there for 6 months. Good to be home. Your poem that I read is awesome...ab
