If—Then

 

If Art

is our connection to the senses

 

Then Poetry

is our connection to the soul

Heaven Proclaimed

 

Be in awe of yourself,

ever struck with delight

Gift wrapping your thoughts,

in the goodness of life

 

Treasure the memories,

letting go of the pain

 

Releasing the wonder

—as Heaven proclaimed

 

(High Point North Carolina: April, 2017)

 

 

 

 

Ill At Ease Or Unfurled

 

Is your pathway to Heaven now structured,

 with words that your verse seeks to pray

 

Is your stairway straight up or diverted,

 remittance and debts to repay

 

Is your meaning construed or verbatim,

 intention set free of this world

 

Is your love what was given or taken

 —your heart ill at ease or unfurled

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
