Beat the drums twirl in time lift your spirit sing your rhyme Eyes turn upward hearts in wings keep LOVE moving forward blessings to reap Put down the arrows follow the sparrows search for the seeds of the truth in deeds Cast away fear the way is clear follow the bright light that shines at night Hands that touch faces of LOVE keep eyes open on the dove Know that since dawn of time LOVE enfolds all sublime. May the ripple of LOVE |

Doreen, I am delighted that you like this. Part of it was written with you in mind. Streen, thank you so much! It is simple, but I went for a simple rhyme scheme and 'clean' thoughts. |

Dor, I started this right after reading several of your poems in one sitting. The rhythm just came to me, and the words fell in place with only three or four minor adjustments, start to finish. And the stanza that begins 'Put down the arrows'? they came straight from your heart. ZING ZING ZING Tracey, thank you so much. I really like the flow of this one myself. The syllable rhyming scheme is really simple, and helped me tighten up the lines by staying in a pattern...kind of like a mini-musical score? LOL, not exactly, but a parallel idea. 3,3,4,3 then 4,4,5,4 5,5,6,5 then 4,4,5,4 3,3,4,3 and again 3,3,4,3 Now maybe I need to go back and read it out loud again, to see if it stays within this pattern!? LOL. I didn't preview/proof before posting. OOPS. I just went back and counted, and realized I left out the words 'the peaceful' in one line. It was supposed to read: "search for the peaceful seeds of truth in deeds" I'm going to leave it as is though. I'm still a beginner at this, and it's OK to experiment.

As I read this beauty, it seemed it should be sung. Not only is the flow great, but the wisdom it contains is super. Thanks for sharing this. Rae |
