"the Journey's Finish"

Largely biographic I have traveled all the nooks and crooks, of the twisted mind’s brooks It was wisdom of heart I forsook, as from the world I took Leaving behind in my wake, devastation of things I faked Becoming wise as serpent, I interpret, ‘Evil’…burp it! I BURP! My devil of lies, in disguise, my own life’s demise I did arise, from my strife demise, stopped telling myself lies From strife of demise, Love arise, tell humanity of life Being freed from serpent strife, I am sorry Love, Precious Dove Now my life, my wife, shall write a book, “The Brook of Nooks and Crooks” About my life, my journey of strife, in my wilderness mind This time, mind shall align, Moses shall go in…unto heart’s gen Battles are within, one’s own self, until no serpent lair left Wilderness I have trod, approved of God, with His smile and nod Be wise as your disguise, Tell yourself lies, to your own demise For root will prevail, precious Love will swell, from eternal well Having finished my race, I quicken my pace, Love is my face I shall go in and out, and of my mind, ‘I shall never pout’ My Love is meek but stout, Treasures from within I bring without ‘My friends I shall defend’… for humanity, new life begins Friend or foe, away we go, for Love doth know, it’s friend or foe Love searches within, my friends, the cart, the reins of sacred heart Eternal glow, Love doth know,…not of show,… of carnal mind’s blow You may rule with Dove, no push or shove, above of holy Love Or you may serve below, Heaven's glow, in wilderness below!! 12-21-09

Thankxxx Moses for your powerful answer to my plight.. the "love" center of life is important for God is love... some poets don't get it.. where do they think their gifts come from, outer space??? U are a loving soul and reinforce my strength and commitment to loving all as HE loves all.. thankxxx good friend... blessings... luv... "Sweetheart"

Happy Christmas Day Moses and Alleluia to the new born King... hope u will read my Food for Thought - An Introspection poem as I received a rather upsetting comment from a new poet early this morning regarding this write... I don't think he sees "the Light"... appreciate it...knowing God will bless u and your family in 2010... with blessings... luv... "Sweetheart"

Interesting thoughts put to pen in this one. Love the line that Love searches within. That is the only place we can search is within ourselves and get the answer that will help. Keep the pen flowing. Sara
