Richard,
Another fantastic piece from a gifted author. Those last two lines are so mysterious, much like life. What are those plans? Which path will be taken? Love the contrast between yourself, others, and the all-good character (God?). It shows that even good folks have room for improvement. Gets me thinking. Love and Hugs,
Sheila |

I no longer yearn for the words to express myself for all I have to do is read something like this of yours and I feel complete soul bud.
I love the last line of this extraordinary poem, "Only puppets dance in silent symphonies" You are a true genius and Michele's photography is always awesome. What a pair you make.
Hugs to you both,
Marcia |

Your words bring beauty and comfort to those who can't, or won't, go there on their own. Your writing makes the word, "awesome," inadequate. Your friends, below, have spoken truths you deserve. I can only add my respect for one who loves all there is to be loved. Proud to be your friend, - Bill

Richard,
This is so powerful the journey of the lost /v- those blessed by the Creator that love and obey and rejoice in knowledge. The lost are like puppets obey the law and of wages of sin and death. I may have gotten off your subject flow. Excellent message.

If man weren't invented who would appreciate creation? and paradoxically destroy it.
Another tremendous poem.
It is in our minds we find the most and the best.
Trying to deny God would be like a sun ray dissing the sun...
Bloody masterpiece.. |

perhaps Richard, man was created so the source of all imagination has a vehicle to observe itself ... the great riddle is collectively, we are the source which we seek ... our journey is to return to the origin from which we began and our retribution or relevance is to acknowledge the light burning brightly within us all is the substance of creation's momentum ...
your poem is a testament of inspired investigation ... |

"...never will you leave me nor forsake me..." you said like Tagore the poet asking to be loved or be killed, never forsaked.
Your definition about tactless psychosomatic drooling as the sound of an impecable insult done by an upper-class gentleman from the Tories corridors of London.
You don't write like a poet, you do it like a composer.

This piece began with cold revelatons of thoughts. Too many fornicate
On salt rotted bridges. A hard look at shelfishness, being aloof, taking for granted, not seeing the things that matter and you end it with warmth and hope and comfort. A wonderful poem to say the least!

-Brilliant and compelling piece Sir Richard Isn't it fabulous to have ears which are capable of hearing when He calls to woo you and to know that He "reached out to steady me
Breathing in my spirit that
Never will you leave me nor forsake me?"
I feel my spirit uplifted at reading these prayerful and wise words of assurance. The final three lines gird me with all the knowledge I need to face each new day:
"I heard your honeyed voice assuring me that
You have plans for your creation and that
Only puppets dance in silent symphonies"
Bravo!
