BEYOND WORDS (An Original Poem)
Blessed beyond words,
truth is like a bird
with a broken wing,
it can't always fly
but it can surely sing
this song calls to me,
the inner voice
of muse speaks volumes,
stitching together
fractured moments of my life,
giving each of them worth
these words bubble up gently
from a place, cool and
deep inside us all,
a place immortal and wise
their warmth and their light
wash over me to cleanse my soul
and remind me that
in a world that reeks of harshness
we are never fools to be kind
all who seek will one day find,
their reason to keep smiling
in spite of the world
and all its ways of beguiling
to notice it once will make it true,
we are blessed beyond words.

"truth...stitching together

Well, that was an uplifting way to start my day - beautiful, eric, thank you <3
You're welcome, @jaytaylor! I'm happy that it provided that!
Very simple...yet very complex, that truth:) Thank you again Sir for a wonderful piece of work. If you don't mind me asking, who are some of your writing influences?
Thanks, @steemit-life! I would have to say my largest influences are Shel Silverstein, Stephen King, and James Thurber. I'm influence by songwriters as well.
Wow, that's incredible! Yea I'm familiar with Stephen, but I'll have to check out Shel, and James. I am a songwriter & writer as well, so I see how that influence helps your writing. Well keep focused, and continue to challenge yourself creatively! Thanks for replying from your busy schedule! Take care:)
Another quality product. Are you published?
