Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

Shadowed Heart

The sun went down on yesterday.
When evil had it's horrid way.
A new day dawn's around the world.
As a bloody flag has been unfurled.

Somehow our joy is not the same.
A little dimmer burns the flame.
We carry on and do our part.
But we're reminded with a shadowed heart.

Jesus said there would be trouble.
That no one lives inside a bubble.
But how many lesson's must be taught?
To learn that action is not a thought.

As we go on and live our lives.
And simple pleasure still survives
As we are left to now restart.
The past is cast in our shadowed heart.


Prayers, peace and hope for Paris and this world. Amen

Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2015 at 7:20 PM hey, this is one of the better poems I have read on this sad topic. Well done, Robert. Yes, I echo Becca. Where HAVE you BEEN?

Keith Bickerstaffe December 7, 2015 at 2:36 PM '...to learn that action is not a thought,' and your entire fourth verse are especially powerful. 'Shadowed Heart,' what a perfect title for this particular piece. BRAVO Robert! Best wishes, Keith

Ilene Bauer November 14, 2015 at 7:49 PM you mentioned to me that you had no words for this but you've done a wonderful job of making your words shine here, robert. it's so hard to comprehend that these awful things continue to happen in the world but i think writing is a good way to get our feelings out. Robert Johnson November 14, 2015 at 10:36 PM Yeah, you picked up on that huh. It's just too much to keep in. Praying.
