    Default Another poem published at Whispers.com

    Received an email notifying me of this poem being published at Whispers.com.
    I had hoped that it would be accepted, knowing that she gets so many and that many are denied ..
    I am honored and truly appreciative that she thought this poem worthy enough to be published this month....

    Wide Eyes Absorbing That Magical Scene--By Robert Lindley--United States


    Wide Eyes Absorbing That Magical Scene

    Upon night's clear sky, moon glowing its best
    Soft breeze, swirling gently in silent tune
    That gleaming star shining high in the West
    Companion for Heaven's striking big moon!

    Wide eyes absorbing true magical scene
    With its proof we are souls wanting to fly
    Earthen ground reflecting brightest moon-sheen
    Tears born of pure joy, not a sad, sad cry

    As dawn comes to wipe, to give us new views
    We may feel pains of sorrow losing this
    Should we not celebrate having the two
    For surely either lost, we'd dearly miss!

    Should mankind ponder why such great, bright gifts
    Tis Heaven's view to earth that so uplifts!

    Congrats, Tyr!! I wish I could get something of mine published somewhere. Wasn't likely going to happen, so now I have this place and can publish my own stuff.

    Seriously, very good!

    Another of my poems has been published at Whispers.com.
    EDITTED VERSION OF MY ORIGINAL POEM.. -Tyr


    In A Sad Blindness, One May Yet Find Hope

    Rain falls, thunder crashes, fierce winds blow, trees sway
    I pray not for all this, on some other black and dreary day
    With dark blue shadows plotting my early demise
    I seek deep wisdom from sages, worldly and wise
    Not just some clever words to soothe this shattered heart
    Instead, sweet hope, a bright path leading to this life restart
    With power to waken these weary, blinded eyes
    and stop salty tears falling from splintered skies.

    On this day, life should see beyond blackened storms
    find solace in love and hope in my wife's loving arms
    Yet, the wall of clouds yields to nothing in its great power
    far more strength than this broken soul musters this hour
    When thus lost, can one ever find again that ray of Light
    healer of stab wounds from daggers, found on this dark night
    I pray for the gift of wisdom to walk that brightly lit path
    and release this saddened soul from the evil, wicked wrath.

    Rain falls, thunder crashes, fierce winds blow trees away
    I pray in supplication that tomorrow might be a gentler day.
