The power of hate
and the silence of truth
are but tears
in the eyes of a child.
True love
can only live forever
in the hearts
of the lost and lonely.
Real care
is nothing but a hope
lost in the darkness
patiently waiting,
for us to shed the light
it needs to see.
Our joy
is but,
a fleeting smile
on the face of insanity.
The one person who needs a lift the most would get it from a strnger and appreciate it the more...the mystery of Passing it on works a million times over.
"A stranger is a friend you just haven't met yet."
There is wisdom and power in your pen Pierre and look at you amd I, for instance...I'm smiling and we don't know one another...but , in every essence...we do as poets. We know the deeper treasures.
