In Hope of Future Ways



Befitting a day
Of independent travel
Cross some realm of It
Ours but for a brief moment
Be keepers of this, God’s soil

~*~

Brief should be our feast of words
humble should be sweet wind heard
comprehension could be some release
taking what should be a moment’s peace.

Who might future leaders be
if shepherds were to follow free
when tyranny is voiced, subjective;
as lesser men fear taking command [reflective]

Would that some man, impoverished though be,
come to reign by talented means see
to rise again, albeit then break the mien
oh weak spine of some otherwise [wo]men;

Good, nor natural, cannot win same
when voices do not quietly reclaim.

~*~

Reason comes by some unreasonable;
seasons come by some unseasonable;
ease comes by intemperate means;
nothing is as it should seem…

History should be a climatic real
when with a soul, one might feel.


" It matters not this distance now  " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love

Celebrating our freedom means caring for our land and exercising our right to vote.

We must always hold hope and need to pray for our leaders whether or not we agree with their decisions.

Thanks for sharing this.

"humble should be sweet wind heard"

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

You write with great phrase
and always amaze.
Your mind has its ways
To lift up my days.  

A most thought provoking write.  Well done.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

E X Q U I S I T E !!

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.

With a soul such as yours one could certainly feel as one should.

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

K- I have read this several times...so much in this piece, and (as so many of your writings) is a piece I will think on for some time.

Excellent writing.
