Contented Readers

How the Bard would have
enjoyed
the readers of Passions
no barriers
no restrictions
but passionate action!
Writing’s a passion!
for with every day,
within a moment’s breath,
rapture will enfold you
truth and love to hold you

Sunlight gleams on faces
then moonlight lifts
and graces
as there is woven
a winsome weave,
bringing a long, drawn,
contented sigh on breeze,
as a line is placed, carefully,
for just a moment's ease

O, the Bard, he would have enjoyed
this Passion!
with such a zealous delight
knowing that should he lay
down in this blue, his write,
that it would be read, exalted, and
held forth as each word would
meld worth
and precious then of great response
O the Bard would have so
enjoyed Passions

Dear contented reader,
see what it is you do! See the
joy you bring to the writer
of poetry and prose ~
of life and a single, simple, rose ~
mystery with some suppose ~
and all the makes the
dreams come glow,

For you not only read
but you share and you inspire,
lifting dreams further,
lifting hopes higher ~
see what you do!

Continue to peruse,
rewarded bookworm,
enjoy the gifts
that leave you warm
and if you are so inclined
to leave a note or two behind
know right then
with your gift of import
you shall go away
with a forever
contented heart.

To write the dream,  the chosen dream
of hands that set the world afire.
A simple theme,  a written gleam
of poets hearts,  of their desire.

Excellent post KJ....enjoyed much...

Sis,

Nothing new under the sun?

How can anyone believe that to be true?
I bask in the warm Sunshine that is you.

What a spectacular meld of rays...
My Sunshine sis, you brighten my days.

Love,
Patricia

Karilea~ You have such a way of gracing these blue pages, and refining the contented feelings that live within the heart of every poet. Much enjoyed~

My friend, I love this. Especially this part....

Excellent poem. Someone once said that through poetry two hearts can touch. Maybe that's what poetry is all about.

Blessings,

And this will give you a contented life!

You are a gift to Pip, Karilea. Ken
