Shall We Recall Gems Reaped From Our Love's Tree

Shall We Recall Gems Reaped From Our Love's Tree Should small differences tear us apart Bringing sorrows, upset our applecart Will we open our eyes to truly see How truth and love's growth can still set us free Surely life should be more than seeking gain More than just gathering bountiful grain Shall we yet again, our souls truly search On higher and higher mountaintops perch Learn to give and love to the nth degree Bathe ourselves in love's deep romantic sea Should such differences rip us apart Causing those rash actions not very smart Shall we recall gems reaped from our love's tree Wonderful bliss, love gifted unto we?

Thank you, my friend. As poets it is my understanding we should always put our heart and soul into our creations. I have been writing since age 15, that is now 53 years and counting. I believe that giving is key and a poet should always attempt to help others by way of his/her writings. God bless..

Hi Robert, first responder that exemplifies the soneteer you are! This deserves a fave. Your one line in particular, stresses a common theme in many of my poems. “SURELY, LIFE SHOULD BE MORE THAN GAIN”. I don’t refer to money..I refer to that egotistical addiction to the refusal to write a poem unless for a contest. That greed to win. As if the planet cares.As if it makes one above the rest of the poets? I do think poetry can be on a higher plane. Huggs, Panagiotaxx
