For POETS UNITED ~ Midweek Motif ~ Exploring ~ I Walked on Pages ~

-


I walked on pages of literary history
and discovered poetry
I stepped on the stages of mystery
and discovered imagery
I gazed at the rages of fiery flames
and discovered slavery-
I lay critically ill in intensive care 
And discovered recovery
I stood  in the extensive graveyard
And discovered bravery  
I believed I prayed I discovered
 life is a test disciplinary

I see the Gates of Glorious Heaven
   I bow I praise The Highest Authority

The  Revelation The Truth
The Greatest Discovery

Finding ourselves is a journey..sometimes we have to reach the darkest places to be able to find a light...

Not everyone who is lost is found. You sound like one of the lucky ones. Nice rhyme.

Nothing else beats Providence. Mainly because it is beyond physical. Spiritual strength is invisible but can move mountains. How true Anjum!

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
