Deep in the heart

poetry like prayer
should be rated on its strength
never on its length


Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Sunshine ~
two hearts one message
quietly as on cat's paws
the answer revealed
yet only these hearts will know
sharing one with the other

Magnus ~
Thanx for the read, my friend

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Magnitude, and time
Resolutions find some peace
All to be, in mind

consequential age
declarations achieve calm
thoughts need attention

Softly whispering
Angels sing a lullaby
Slumber comes quietly

quietly welcomed
softly crooning slumber song
the sandman cometh

~Prayer, like poetry,
Should be gifted everyday
So no day goes by
that you don't hold another
in moments of sincere prayer~

and so it is said,
quality, not quantity,
makes a poet gleam.

Length is over rated!
And you meant poetry?
Where was my mind at?
