Evolution
Life quietly awaits
Anticipation’s alterations.
*
Sacrifice,
not always relegated
to the hollows of Self-Pity,
is easily chronicled
as the greatest gift of Life.
Squander not,
that which is oft distributed unevenly
in conjunction with Timeless Love,
Not unlike Time itself,
it’s voluntarily shared,
without recompense or reparation.
*
Death,
not the conclusion once thought,
but a beginning,
a new Life.
*
Evil,
with the desperate fury of Hate,
dances blithely,
through the Morality
of human existence.
*
Compassion,
the essence of the Spirit,
stands ready
with quiet purpose fixed,
searching in Silence,
inconspicuously,
for refuge in a pocket,
hidden deep within the Soul.
*
Truth, Honesty and Loyalty
lay huddled together,
united by Hope
to await the quiet presence
of Faith.

SIGH! Why haven’t you published your works, such depth of feeling, so…… I don’t know I’m lost for words.
Cheers
Laurie
Awe, thanks Laurie. That is so nice of you to say, but my words are just words without the beautiful art to accompany.
Very, VERY special, Keli. As well the art as also the poem!!
Thank you Raani! You and Laurie are always so sweet to stop by and leave such nice comments. I’m trying to catch up on my reading, but I’ve just missed so much1 Hope you are well… & Jake too!
Kathryn,
This was my first visit to your site and it was totally enjoyable. First of all, the photos are really nice and very much appropriate to the words they accompany. Now to the words…, there is an exquisite sensitivity to your writing that draws your reader right into the emotion you are expressing. The piece you wrote on “Carmen’s Tapestry” brought tears to my eyes, and that doesn’t happen easily.
Best to you,
Paul
Well thank you Paul for the very kind words. I appreciate that you were able to feel the emotions I was experiencing through the words I used, my visual pictures usually guide me! That can be a gift and a curse since people can see how you were really feeling when I wrote the piece. Guess I should be happy that they know that not all of the poetry is about me… LOL Thanks again!
Beautiful. I stay away from critiquing poetry, since I can’t grasp the difference between an anapest and anti-pasta. You’re words are always finely crafted, and I have always liked the way you shape the words to look good on the page…keeping white space in mind. Lovely !
Later….
Thanks
I appreciate you taking time to stop by to read and comment 
so uplifting …
thanks for sharing
the transformation
Your heart has such a way with expressing thoughts we all think about, but not really until we read your words. I loved it!
Thanks Jim… LOL. I think I just march to my own drummer, a different one! Your kind words of encouragement are always welcomed! Thanks so much!
Beautiful art, beautiful words.
Thanks you Benjamin! I appreciate your time. Hope you feel better today!
