~*Serenity's Gift*~

Words from pen to parchment fall
Spirits scream and demons call
Ink in flowing - harsh wind blowing
Through a vacant chamber hall

All is lost and nothing less
Since the moment of confess
Lonely crying - hope is dying
Hollowed heart seeks last caress

Out from yonder blackened sea
Knowing voice sets spirit free
Humble kneeling - prayer of healing
Granted gift...Serenity

~vlraynes

Thank you, Karen.

you have not truly met the poet.

Listening to every heart

You know...it's just not poetry that we learn about, here in Passions. We learn how to express emotions from extreme gladness...to rampant sadness. We learn it's OK to give a voice to sorrow - and grief. We learn to modulate our zealousness...and spike our lethargy.

I know, I KNOW we're not therapists, counselors, or experts thereof...but through our poetry...gads, we grow.

Sorry, dear...but you just didn't thank Serenity...you thanked a whole passel of people who helped you, and the rest of us, find our voice through poetry!

I'm the one who should be thanking everybody.

Not a day goes by without one of you wonderful people showing me wonderful kindness.

I DO love you good people.

Vicky, this is such a beautiful gift you have given to Karen...and you gave it to us also, in the process. Thank you both for being such sweet people.

Heart hugs

Well Vicky's poem is beautiful, and I agree that Serenity is a gift (depending on the day)
