Take love away from a poet...and left~ just the shell of a heart. Good for pumping words out...but for little else.

There will always be people for whom (no matter how sweet the blessings), the cup is half empty. For these chronic pessimists, I say try the power of two P-words: first and foremost; prayer, and secondly; positive thinking. Focus on the blessings God has given, and even though the cup may not be running over, give thanks for the portion that is half full. Things could always be worse!

Quiet time between, like tranquil rests in music, can be important for health and balance as any focused volume.
|
Poetry, of deeply beautiful, penetrating nature, is the dear voice of God attempting to reach the freshly showered ears of His wayward children~ though their hearts often remain clogged by wax.
|
In darkness, we discover the whispers of our own souls, and in the shadows, we find kinship with the unseen. Thus, in the depths of solitude, we realize that though alone, we are never truly without companionship.

Sports aren't fun anymore: there's too much competition which leads to injury, even the violence in the stadiums has gotten worse. Watch a soccer game and hear the roar of crowds for their favorite team, and should they lose the game: a battle will unfold, not admitting fair competition.
|
If poets fail to move us with their words: they have failed in their quest to cheer us up, or to alleviate our pain, even to console us with their empathy.

I wouldn’t have looked at her twice if she hadn’t smiled at me first. She wasn’t your typical pretty or the other Disney character who is completely a misfit and happy about it. But she had a quality I couldn’t place my finger on and I guess that’s all that made the difference.

It seems both champions and diamonds...
are forged by fire through great pressures,
whether geological or geographical, in nature and intent.

Upon completion: if I feel need to explain my poem, introduce my work...then the poem has failed.

Nothing ever comes entirely to rest, the decay of death into memory into myth a prime example. Whatever only true for the moment of successful application. Absolute Truth is Faith~ Omnipotent.

"The poetry of cancer lies not in the disease itself, but in the resilience of the human spirit it unveils. Amidst the shadows of struggle, every heartbeat writes a verse of courage, every breath composes a stanza of hope, transforming pain into a testament of survival and strength."

Spontaneity is childlike wonder, it is simplicity, abandon and curiosity; but, it takes 'courage' to embrace the unexpected.
|
