Life, Love, and Verses Born of True Poetic Heart
Life, Love, And Verses Born Of True Poetic Heart
Waken to Life, its joys that bring truest living
amidst this world and its pitiless deceiving,
Ample the blessings cast forth by divine givings
true is the gratitude in grateful receiving.
Watch each dawn, as in resplendent glory its rises.
As Life gives Love, Mystery and other Surprises.
Be still and allow kind hearts to wonders bestow
as golden prizes to those in direst of need,
Pure as gleaming whites in blankets of heavy snow
as counterweights to human graft and its greed.
Watch each dawn, as in resplendent glory its rises.
As Life gives Love, Mystery and other Surprises.
Fear not, that such goodness will by evil be slain
for the Light by wicked blade shall not perish,
Sweetest treasures by blackest of deeds no man gains
that which in Love and Harmony we most cherish.
Watch each dawn, as in resplendent glory its rises.
As Life gives Love, Mystery and other Surprises.
As morn's radiant glows, entreats our admiration
we with courageous hearts, our verses compose,
Deep symbols, well thrown benevolent salutation
oft as supple in colors, as is Love's red rose.
Watch each dawn, as in resplendent glory its rises.
As Life gives Love, Mystery and other Surprises.
As fleeing sun with soft red hues in honor gifts
may we in our humbleness, this pleasure feel,
creation gave us our souls, that Life oft uplifts
and in dawn's brilliant glows, rays that heal.
Watch each dawn, as in resplendent glory its rises.
As life gives Love, Mystery and other Surprises.

Rhyme,
began on June 9th, 1983,
finished today, October 3rd, 2019
thirty-six years in the making.
Now I am hoping to be able to finish about
120 other unfinished pieces from decades ago.
