Aberjhani
1.
As you bury flesh––
honor spirit, savor hope,
cherish memory.
Consider heaven
as a world-weary stranger
asleep in your heart.
Quote words that affirm
all men and women are your
brothers and sisters.
Pull the child away
from feeding at the mule’s tail.
Give the baby food.
2.
Compassion crowns the soul with its true st victory.
Hearts rebuilt from hope resurrect dreams killed by hate.
Souls reconstructed with faith transform agony into peace.
Wisdom applied internally corrects ignorance lived externally.
3.
Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends.
Write a soft poem
to one you called bitch, shit head,
nigger, fag, white trash.
Live certain days dressed
in your lover’s smiling soul
while she, he, wears yours.
Imagine your mind
wings intent on expanding
and watch your joy fly.
Aberjhani

Pull the child away
from feeding at the mule’s tail.
Give the baby food.
What a frank image.
Thank you,
Janna
The poetry is like a book of inspiring quotes, all from Aberjhani.
I think I like #2, the first 3 lines of #1, and the healing counsel of "write a soft poem to..." in #3. Forgive me for dissecting your work, it contains so many good thoughts!

I'm so glad I took the time to read this after studying the news texts about Comair flight 5191 which saddens my heart, but strenghthens my commitment to make the most of this frail fleshly life by giving even more of myself away to others. We don't have to be old to be swept away, and God's timing is a wakeup call for everything that happens in this world to us is a lesson for those of us who remain.
blessin's, you need to be in the Hall of Poet Fame (if there ain't one there should be. . .and you'd be a stellar contender Brotha Aberjani.)

"Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends."
Excellent work.

This is a gorgeous affirmation! It is so easy to get lost in the day-to-day 3D funk and inertia. This motivates the soul to reach for higher ground!
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends." is just one of my favorite passages.
as is "
Live certain days dressed
in your lover’s smiling soul
while she, he, wears yours." but then, I love them all. Thank
you for all you do, and have done {and will}, to promote peace,
equality, understanding, and compassion. Always, and Then, Bro, Always, and Then 'Pea' <3

who think they have problems. Love is the answser.
A wise exhortation, Poet Aberjhani, to view ones surroundings and enemies through the eyes of love and forgiveness. Releasing oneself from the mental and emotional shackles that invariably imprison the soul, will always liberate the heart and mind to soar above the clouds.
The view of Eagles transcends the view from behind the mules tail.
I salute you Poet. Angel of Healing: for the Living, the Dying, and the Praying, has cooled my heart with the pure waters of wisdom.
In fraternity ...

Your quill is on fire..

This composition is like three trays of ambrosias placed on Minerva's table to please Herself and guests ~ Phoebus and Erato.
"Angel of Healing: for the Living, the Dying, and the Praying" has fed my mind and nourished my soul.
I salute You, Poet.
Long healthy life through a blissful living.
In gratitude and admiration,
