Worldkeeping Queries

How do you worldkeep Lord?
Do you assign a Monday for this continent
A Tuesday for the other and so on
Until the nth continent matches the nth time?
Do you schedule the winds to dust the mountains,
Wake the trees at dawn, lull nocturnals to sleep before noon?

Do you command the waters fast deliveries of nuts,
Wanted by some squirrels wanting in winter in the woods?
Do you order fire to cause-effect changes on lands
That haven't produced reports, your directions procrastinated
Of homework from last year's storms?

Do you tell Earth to be still so
You could adjust its tilt to the proper
Angle to fix revolutions in our solicitude?
That as we cling to our preoccupations
We wake suddenly in the oddest hour
Remembering your admonitions
Of long ago, true now for even more.

I guess that either you
A word tto stop or start, or let out a sigh
And all gets done my Lord.

Moving On

...If only to forget, one does not feel...
...I tell you, I would have forgotten a long time ago...
...For I have felt no pain, no bitterness, no sorrow...
...In this place where emotions abound...
...I am safe within my walls that protect and shield me...
...I walk alone unscathed.

Hi Poets Par Excellence Galore and appreciators alike, thanks for the chance to post some poems. All the poems I've posted are copyrighted by ACEA Publishing. Here's the last one I'm lifting from the c2006 edition, dedicated to the children in places torn by wars.

Children of War
The Dying of Seeds in War-Torn Places

From off the springs of
War, came the brave,
They have slept with
Death and have seen
The true colors of sunset.
They make us see the
Fortitude we have,
The wishes swinging
Around our fingertips.
We could wish to
Live long enough
To see who they become
And what purposes they might find.
For now we can touch their tears
See with them the blurs
Of visions for what may not become.

Thanks for the opportunity to share dreams, feelings, hopes, prayers.

 

Poets Corner

Seeker of truth
Follow no path
All paths lead where
Truth is here

To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup
Whenever you're wrong, admit it
Whenever you're right, shut up

By: E.E. Cummings and Ogden Nash

 

Poet's Corner

 

Departure

When the end truly comes, that great day so longed for
It comes with no great fuss, no headlines
No great salute, no ringing tone
To hold this one soul into "What will be!"
No choir of angels
No trumpet call
Nothing new
Papers sold
Babies born
People die!

Life coninues.............
Bins are collected
Spots are squeezed
Teeth brushed
Toilet flushed
Taxes rise
And somewhere
In the heart of that
I leave............
;-))))))

Ladies and Gentlemen,

as you all know I am more that "straight and hard into the face"guy and for sure not able to write great poems like you all provide here.

I appreciate each single one and each single day I log in it is my first read of the "new posts". Thanks for that...

Keep them coming

Rhoody

good reputation for all of you added already

 

My "Awakening" is back to where it belongs

Hi Rhoody, thanks for praising the "poets" and for reading our posts for the first time. It really mean something to us. We appreciate you more.



Awakening

Realizing, I'm about to embark
Into a new world of uncertainty
Beckonning, I am bound to adhere
To what life has to offer
The inevitable circumstances beyond our control
Is absolutely unpredictable to predict
But when life crumbles
One must be fully awaked.
