Ecstatic Poetry

Since the election 
Beloved
I've been deplorably depressed
my heart has lept into
a starless river of tears
and is swept away

I've seen you passing through my
dreams, Swami
a shadow robed in raven black

Dearest Lord
Your Name is still alive on
my lips 
although I clutch a rosary
of onyx pearls

And Pray..... Thy Will Be Done

When will Your bride
adorned in summer jasmine
blush the golden pink cattleya orchid
hues of dawn

And dance with You, oblivious
across Heaven's sapphire
august dome

We share the same sentiment.
Yours is stated with grace and style and hope.
I can't get past the ugliness.

Yes we must be optimistic. And hope for the best for our beloved America. One thing we all share in common is our Love for this great country.

Whatever comes, we will endure. We all want a better day. And I think we will get it, if not now, in four more years we can decide that we didn't want to go that direction. So, I remain optimistic in spite of the apparent "rigging" of our election system to favor a certain perspective that is narrower, much narrower than desired.

I share your fears. I think Americans have done something crazy and dangerous, and I'm afraid it's going to come back and bite us in the ass. Jerry could be right, but I have his optimism.

Sorry you were not on the right team in the election. I'm wishing for a good four years. I am a Trump man. He won it, let's see how he does. I have a feeling he will surprise people.
