The world does not know
who the poet is
until they are told
so listen here, listen well
I am the poet
now you can tell
dare you not believe me
I will show you again
with every page revealing
the poet I am
Please forgive my brush with egotism .... this write was motivated by a critic who told me (before I joined HelloPoetry), that I was not writing poems, because the words didn't rhyme. So I wanted to show him I could write a poem that rhymed.

The path ahead is unknown,
but when the path is dark
may a light shine in you.
And when the path diverges
may love be your guide.
And whatever path you choose
may joy follow you!

The mind ...
a wild garden
where healthy
and unhealthy thoughts
pop up out of nowhere
Discard the weeds
Gather the fruit
and harvest the rewards
of a beautiful mind!

There she lay
No beautiful smile
No sparkling eyes
All life's energy spent
Now peace
In eternal sleep

She is gone
Only if we forget
The love she gave
Is ours to keep

We who knew her best
Are compelled by her noble way
To heed a greater love
Beyond flesh and blood

Let us sing her song again
Love is the key
Her spirit is ours
For all eternity
In memory of my mother who passed peacefully on 3:16 2021 into everlasting life

Even though I speak kind words
If I have no love
I am telling lies.

Even though I keep my eyes open
If I have no love
I am blind.

Even if I become rich or famous
If I have no love
I am alone.

While knowledge comes and goes,
Love remains
Always nourishing
Always binding
One to the whole

You have found me
i am here
inside these glowing pixels
come with me
beyond the mystery
for just a moment now
move closer to the center
feel the power of life
transcending space and time
an infinite connection
lives forever
deep inside your mind
the essence of our being
does not fade or die
it knows the truth
and does not lie
all this i can tell
for i have seen the light
i want you to know
the spark of truth
is burning bright!
