Trudy Diane Rider Poet Free verse

Visage of Sweet Bliss

My visage of bliss is disappearing
the rampaging world and the bitter harvests of disappointments
threaten to tear down the solitude I have built around myself
they tear at  the very fiber of my soul until,
shredded and flailing in the wind,
I look once again towards you and your quiet strength,
emanating peace and love, 
with the twinkle of life in your sky blue eyes
I see you standing tall and proud and I know that I can lean on you
and you will help me through the hard times, as well as share the good
You are in my heart always, and I carry your goodness till the end
for your blood courses in my veins, and gives me strength when I no longer have any to give
And even though you have passed from this earthly life, you remain a steadfast
visage of sweet bliss in a tired world gone awry
where I can feed my soul on your strength and gather the energy to carry on one more day.




dedicated to my father who passed from this life 1-1-98

Joseph Spence Sr October 11, 2008 at 4:49 PM This is an excellent dedication to your father. I know you must truly miss him. I missed mine also. Fathers are such great figures in a child's life when they do the right thing. I like the flow of the words and the message. Great job! ~Joseph
