water – Poetry for Change

Gold Award for my poem, Humanities Nature

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Humanity’s Nature

Faerie light floats with the speed of light,
Light approaching the sculpted rocky arch
Arch where art is chiseled in a cascade of bright
Bright geometric forms that parch
Parch the soul that has lost malleability
Malleability to change, not shatter at the sheer,
Sheer steap drops, highs that spurt,
Spurt the bubbly spring water flowing,
Flowing, glittering in the red rays,
Rays filled with harmony deep,
Deep within it flows through trees,
Trees, bushes, a stone bridge,
Bridge that fills the gap between light,
Light and darkness, good and evil,
Evil of selfish envy whose ego blows,
Blows out the balance within unity,
Unity that holds the folds of humanity,
Humanity Whose need for peace,
Peace is but a piece of mind that rest,
Rests and creates transient beauty,
Beauty that stuns into silence,
Silence where thought proceeds,
Proceeds to learn to feel the presence
Presence of haloed reverence in
In humanity’s nature.

Review ans accolade for my poem, River of Life

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent extended metaphor, Malak, with powerful alliteration that roars like a mighty river! You explore so many ways in which life is like a flowing river. Childhood memories, regrowth and change, beauty and laughter, connecting with loved ones, all are reflected in the rush of waters you ride. Bravo!! 👏 by: Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the review and accolade, it’s an honor.

River of Life

The river is an allegory for life
It is at times smooth as glass,
Clear as a bell, strong enough to sand rocks
Into the smoothest silky textures.
It’s teamed with life, as different species
Live and let live, while others, more dangerous,
Hunt, dessimate, and devour their preys.

It isn’t enough to see that rivers allegate
To all that is portrayed in life,
Rather one needs to be aware that cycles
In nature are imitations of human life.

The strong prey on the weak,
Large numbered populace impose their belief,
Rather than understanding one another,
Exchanging respect and help to survive
The difficulties that life’s cyclones
Throw your way to test your will, powers
Your unity, compassion, empathy, and loves.

Let nature be your teacher,
Respect its mightier strength as a lover,
Embrace its touch, reach into the sun to empower
Your steely strength as swelteringly hot as
The magma that bubbles from within
Trying in vain to alligate its worth to that of life not death.
