Multitude of thoughts all at once
Scattered to the wind
Venture the truth be freed
And reads a new morning spirit
How great to whom nothing belongs
Communicable to every soul
In the end to attain the final good
In view of all the error's woe
There is no time for things adverse
And overrated
Truce now rests in regal sound
No more deafening shouts berated
Entertaining notes angelic
To many a radiant harp
In leaps and bounds disguise has flown
Off to another land
Where noise and endless wares be gone
No more confusions stand
He fell with pride and mischief
Before my eyes the end now brings
A worthy faithful cause

Away to dismal regions born
That by the weak shall leap
Not returning contempt of slave
To hate or disbelief

I’ve fought the watchful wait
With meeting condemnation head on
Be now in powerful hands to part
What now was weak and wrong

Sometimes the way is most fitful and right
That show forth goodness to every soul
I gave it all my heart and might
With no expectations held

Courage is the final gain...mustering what appears
a life is now aware of change and brand new
beginnings.

terrific write,,,

enjoyed it from beginning to end...

A voice of honesty

more than voices
   of flattery

I think I am beginning to figure you out,
just taking me a little while.  This poem
speaks of sin, mistakes,  of choices,  of
directions...of how to get to a place that
assures us our safety...

I will read it again, and digest more.  A
very beautiful write....thanx.

This poem, well, all my poems were inspired by a deep love of which I learned years ago...since then I've been writing, and this all enveloping love mingles with nature, the ocean, the air we breath...it is being in love, liking yourself, and complementing all that comes your way...even the bad seems easier once this love becomes your home...and the wait of 5 years ago, until this past Sunday, was well worth the growth, b/c for a moment...I felt home again.  

Thanks to all of you...for your kindness in not only reading but commenting as well.
