Dearest of Family, Friends, Followers, Visitors...

 

Dearest of Family, Friends, Followers, Visitors... A mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, one in her 85th year 2023... and she... The POET

The POET
she awakens to the light
to the dawning of the day new
she hears the song bird song
feels the warmth of the sun
listens to the sounding wind
hears the echoes of loss and lament
feels the pain of despondency and despair
yet deeply she knows all is in resolve
for ever held she be in GOD's care
many a trial and many a challenge at hand
FAITH and TRUST be her guiding command
beyond chaos, horrific abuses, and mayhem
be the calling clarity of grace, the solace of soul
the mission, the quest, this pulsing of heart
from love it be known, from love shan't it depart
the Passion ~ the Omnipresence ~ the Eternal ~ the Truth
this be THE WAY
she the POET in blessings LIVES her day
a word by pen, its petitioning perceived
this the MUSE in soul conceived
upon the paper marks to bear her name
and she the POET expresses her claim
and she the POET expresses her claim
we the responders, activists, creators of the NOW
be it RESOLVE, be it LOVE, be it PEACE, 
be it our SOUL'S VOW.
