Truth’s Bounty
L. B. Mek said:
thank you, dear poet
you words feel alive
as if imbued, by your need to rid people
of life\'s gloom n doom, nihilistic apathy;
funny
we like having a watch, to hand
on our phones and gadgets
yet, few of us
like that incessant tick tock
of a grandfathers clock
reminded us, this be no dress rehearsal
this, our one and only life guaranteed!

Now for me next poem, after this good one by you - erm \'DARK\'!
Not about darkness and spookiness, but I ran out of light bulbs! Doh!
It was like a black cat in a coal cellar at midnight. Now that\'s quite dark!

Where God Dwells
orchidee said:
A good write James.
Yes, the Old Testament Temple was His special dwelling place, though He dwells everywhere. Now in New Testament days, His Temple, or Tabernacle, is withing human minds, hearts, souls - all of one, within us.

Been a minute, my friend! I hope you are faring well in these stormy seas.
This work of yours makes me think fondly of how my last wish is to be returned to the earth. The eco-burial movement fascinates me greatly. There’s some places that can make you into dirt! It would be lovely to return as a tree, or perhaps a flower.

what\'s Pain, without
Life
to witness it?
nothingness, is that true
bane of our Universe..
everything else, is imbued
in relevance, by each heartbeat
that feels it
for in that feeling
be it pain or joy
exists, worth
in our ephemeral, experience
of this finite, life
we\'ve been gifted, wrapped
in shards of peace
amongst a sea of turbulent, unease..
(stay strong, dear poet
thanks for Choosing to share)

A Prayer (Havasupai tribe)
queer-with-a-pen said:
‘Make me always the same as I am now’ is very powerful stuff, my friend! Feels like a counter to ‘remember me as I was not as I am.’ Like reveling in all that makes up a person, be it good or bad

Great 575 - reminds me of one of mine:
a rock shining wet
unseen by upward gazing
stumble in the dark

L. B. Mek said:
maybe, we share that same
obstinate, brain
cos mine too, watches-on
blankly
as other\'s, all around me
morph
tempered, by the weathering
of Time
into carbonised deposits
of wisdom\'s, worth...
(a wonderfully relatable shorty
like how you kept to senryu\'s origins
by matching your topic
to your chosen form and wording, as well)
thanks for sharing
and Happy New Year! dear poet

It\'s a great place to hide! And it makes a noise when no one else is there and doesn\'t need to be fed.
