~Wisdom of Words~

A poets wisdom, a prophets vision,
a life laced with loss and sorrow.
Returning only for the answers...
the lessons learned, his wisdom to borrow.

Enlightened, graced and gifted...
vividly satisfying our passion for words,
read between the lines,
recognize a child's cries unheard.

His poets pen entrusted,
revealing the secrets of the past.
Shadows are exposed then lifted ...
a forgiving light to be cast.

Confessions of a soul,
defined by rhyme and verse.
No longer to suffer in silence...
released from this haunting curse.

Faith finds redemption,
poems confess and testify.
Anger exchanged for forgiveness,
apologies replace old alibis.

Written words of devotion,
designs for a life renewed.
Whispered prayers and promises,
accepting faith will see us all thru.

With in the words of poets...
fate's reasons will be found.
Connected by our visions,
by our dreams ... we are all bound.

Janet Marie  2/27/00


thank you for the inspiration...again...(smile)




 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...
Janet Marie

*I miss you baby...
I love you, always.*

Well I made it to the "other" side LOL. This is the first time I've posted in DP! This is a wonderful beautifully written piece of work. And it is also a wonderful tribute to our friend Michael.

Mike I have to agree w/ Janet on this one...you are a true inspiration to us all. Thank you both!

Our Dark Lord deserves this tribute.  With his poetic wisdom he inspires us all.
Well done Janet Marie  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

It's 3am I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

this part touched me because i feel like i know you people, maybe not like friends, but i share with you things i dont share with many people and you are a kind of support group for me.  i just appreciate all your care and kind words.  great poem janet, but all of your are.  

aimee
