Accolade for my poem,  His Journey

His Journey

He walks across mountainous terrain,
Rugged, laborious in every step
He takes on his journey to help
In his self-discovery, not vain,

Rather grueling climb is reminiscent
Of life’s challenges he navigated
With fortitude, discipline he grasped
Easily as his discovery isn’t absent,

But present in his ever growing
Knowledge that nothing easily
Achieved lasts or satisfactory,
He trudges on till he’s peaking

Above the peak, walking
Enjoying the scene, where
Beauty is at his fingertips and rear
Is all things forgotten as he’s thinking.

Accolade and Review for my acrostic poem, TEAM WORK

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab I really enjoyed this unpacking of “team work,” Malak! You capture so many poignant characteristics: the satisfaction of doing one’s best, the compromise of egos, the goals achieved, and best of all, the affirmation that people can be kind as they work together. Wonderful! I wish this poem could be shared everywhere people are collaborating. By Linda Powers O’Dell

TEAM WORK

T esting the limits of your abilities
E njoying the satisfaction of a Job well done
A nother victory for lack of egos
M aintaining the peace among the team

W orking together to achieve
O NE goal: progress and change that
R ejuvenate our hopes and beliefs that
K indness still exists, and humanity is not extinct.

Review and accolade for my poem, My Love

Every time I receive a review,  I feel like a lottery winner. It’s empowering and highly  inspiring.  Thank you, guys, for your comments.

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.
As my shadow sits on the bench, alone,
My eyes mist like dew drops covering
The wet grass, as memories flood, gone,
The world has taken this love and kept living.
