Neighbors – #Inspirational #Writing

[image error]

.

Thanks once again to your friend and mine Richard Ankers, who has been writing and sharing his wealth of words on Medium.com, I popped by the site today and decided to give it a go.

Always hoping to Inspire, I shared the following, which you can also read in its entirety on the website itself.

A Friend and I were recently talking about the Amish and Mennonite who he described as writing their poetry with the fine works of their hands, rather than with words as he and I do, which I thought was a truly beautiful perspective. I wandered down the path of this perspective, as I am wont to do, and I realized how this is true for most of us, if lyricism or writing, painting and photography are not the gifts to hand. We make our mark on this world, in big and small ways, in lasting ways we little realize, with our words, with our smiles, with our choices, with our convictions, and with our compassion.

As most of you are probably aware, I am Christian by Faith, but I also think outside, above, and on many other sides of the box. I agree with and admire many other philosophies and forms of spiritualism who revere all living creatures and live harmoniously in this world. This appeals to me a great deal and I think this is what Jesus meant when He said “Love your Neighbor as Yourself”. Yet the longer I think about this and wander down the path of musing, I am forced to consider, just who is my neighbor?

Is it the old woman living next door? Is it the young child that runs around in Walmart that others scowl at for making too much noise? Is it the overly obese woman no one wants to look at because society tells us she is ugly and unworthy? Is it the old man with little of his teeth who is standing on the corner with a tin cup hoping for a few coins so he can eat something today? Is it the child whose parents neglect and abuse because they are more interested in drugs? Or is it those same parents? Is it the person of a different nationality than my own whom I cannot understand on the other end of the telephone line who is trying to help me? Is it the young man on a skateboard with his pants half way to his knees and his hat on sideways who I simply cannot relate to? Is it the “crazy” old lady in the mall who is talking to the bench she is sitting on because no one else will talk to her?

Is it the dog that is left to starve because its owners have decided they are tired of it?……. Please stop by Neighbors on Medium.com to read more.

#WorldPoetryDay – The Face of the Moon

[image error]

In the Vast congregation of Incorporeal Time,

These Dreams have shifted,

Incongruous Rhyme.

Filtering from Eternity like Shards of Glass,

And Heaven on both sides of me

Seems to Pass,

While I, Standing,

Waiting,

Neither Late, nor Too Soon,

Behold the Sweet Splendor Of the Face of the Moon.

#WorldPoetryDay – Melting

Silence drips

like Melting wax

From dimly burning candles

Flickering

Sputtering

While shadows await

The coming darkness

#WorldPoetryDay – Quietly Be – #Inspirational #Spiritual #Poetry

[image error]

OH the Beauty I See in You,

That You See in me,

Perfect

Transcending

Unity,

Abolishing this place in which we Breathe,

To Touch Your Love with mortal hands,

To Quietly BE

And Understand,

Your Love Surrounds when Dark is Night,

When Alone we Stand in Crowded Sight,

Whispers of Your Infinite Splendor,

Faith

Hope

To Tenderly Engender,

Yet to Linger in this Quiet room

Of Willing Grace Beyond the Earthly Tomb,

Like the cosmos Stretching,

Eternal

Unending

Heaven’s Love Tirelessly Bending,

To Touch the pain of man’s denial,

To Quietly BE

Without shame,

Without guile,

To See the Beauty only in You,

Shimmering

Hoping

Endlessly True.

The Night Sings her Sweetest Song,

Symphony to my Breathless Spirit,

Transcending Peace through the Hours, Long,

As my Heart Waits, Spellbound, to Hear It.

Glorious Rapture of Star-lit Refrain,

Sing to me, Sweetly, Again and Again!

Gentle Touch

Of Shimmering Light,

Guiding our steps along The Way;

Speaking Softly

Through Delicate Sight,

Empowering Messages to Convey.

Gentle Touch

Whispering Love,

Renewing the Soul and the Land;

Speaking Softly

From Heaven Above,

Blossoming Wisdom, imperceptibly Grand.
