That Life Extends Its Seeds Beyond Our Mortal Coils, Wherein Truth and Light Sets a Saving Path

(2.) Dylan Thomas | Poetry Foundation (3.) Dylan Thomas - Dylan Thomas Biography - Poem Hunter ******************************************* My Tribute Poem: That Life Extends Its Seeds Beyond Our Mortal Coils, Wherein Truth And Light Sets A Saving Path, First Poem That death, dark and dread of night, mortal souls oft vex In anger, Fate its massive powers too oft flex Yet there within meadows, beauty its powers grows As in heart of winter's spirit blows whitest snows Man can but deny the light and thus misbehave Walk the horrendous maze- so seeking what he craves All is not dark and dreary, some light must break through We of mere flesh and bones - we too have our just dues! That life extends its seeds beyond our mortal coils To bring bountiful fruits from world's abundant soils All cannot be perfect, there must be some dark blight Man lives within evil's savage and wicked sights Beneath skies blue or else frothing with angry storms All is daily life with its oft mysteries norms This truth, we are destined to one day depart Despite our wishes, those pleadings from crying hearts! That love a magnificent gift, oft healing balm We ever seek a life that is peaceful and calm A true soulmate, one to cherish with bated breath A faithful companion - to love until our death Such is a part of man, a part of destiny Fact of life, tho' we ever seek eternity Heaven smiles unto we of mere mortal desires And in divine light bathe us in its holy fires! Robert J. Lindley, 12-23-2020 Rhyme, ( Set Sail, The Sea Is Calm And The Sky Softest Blue ) Note: This blog, this poem both are inspired by a dream I had a few nights ago. Has taken three days to get this completed-seems it needs more. Truth is that I have no more in me as of now. Thus accepting my lack of ability I must make do as is now created. And abandon the second poem that I had hoped to be able to compose to honor Dylan Thomas. If Fate destines that second tribute poem comes to me later- rest assured I will ink it and present it. God bless and Merry Christmas to all..
