A blessing upon you

sorenbarrett

May your poetry flower and bloom, spreading its colors before endless seas of hungry eyes. 
Let its fragrance and perfume be tasted by all who walk by. 
Let its honey stored in hives, sweeten posterity's lives. 
May its seeds by winds of fortune blown, be scattered and sown to bless all mankind. 
May it be written in stone and its words be known longer than the rock upon which its message is enshrined.

    What a beautiful blessing for the enduring power of poetry.
    May every poet’s words find hungry eyes and open hearts.
    May their verses live on far beyond their own time.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Soren, every poet quietly hopes their words will outlive the moment that created them and continue serving someone they will never meet. This spoke directly to that hope in me. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                        Thank you Tristan I appreciate your read and comment. Yes this poem is for you and all poets. I am certain that even if a single poem does not survive in its entirety it will survive in bits in the minds of its readers
