I always love to be aloneAmong the older treesAnd marvel as to how they've grownSo patiently with ease!The years have left them unperturbedBy what prevails around them;Their freedom yet stays undisturbed,Nothing can astound them.I look into their bosoms warm,The loving care that's in them,With nests of birds away from harm,Sh...

He hears strange voices in his headWherein exists the evil formsOf groundless fears and morbid dread -Those unrelenting mental storms!He is like a schooner in a gale,Moving with a tattered sail.There is neither silence anywhereNor harmony of time and space,But pandemonium everywhereAnd bitterness in every placeWhere all the e...

In the darkness, past and present,Of man's ignorance untold,Breeds a virus so unpleasantIt releases not its holdOn the elements of fairnessAnd enlightenment that showAvenues of true awarenessThat are widening more and more.Still, the darkness leaves a mysteryDown the centuries long pastThat the smudges of man's historyDo not ...

Truth is like an open road;No traveler is misledBy signals one must followTo safely forge ahead,Cautioning one to slow down,Stop or move with care;Not to recklessly proceedAt speeds of grave despair.Well should one negotiateCurves of disbelief,Crooked bends and hazardsOf unrelenting grief.All signals and all signs ofTruth can...

'T is that time of year, I seeA heavy gloom across the sky;The sun must bend its stubborn willAnd yield to threatening clouds on high.Sagging hearts must wait until'T is time to freely swell again;Soon the rain shall fall at willThat Nature may her strength regain.There, beyond the range of sightSome flighty birds stay in ret...

There's hope on this planet of sorrowAs long as we hear the birds sing;There's hope for a brighter tomorrowArriving like blossoms in spring,With the peal of significant triumphOf liberty high on the wing.There's hope on this planet of mourningAs long as we heed the sad cryOf those now afflicted and groaningBefore they tragica...

It doesn't matter how so plainOr rough the crust may be,The kernel is what truly counts -The part we cannot see.A piece of land perceived as goodAnd ripe for human toilMay yet prove unproductiveWithout the proper soil.Can we appraise the saberWhile still within its sheath,Or comprehend the oceanUnless we look beneath?The sigh...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Learning to love: 2 of 34
Love is not an art by itself. There is no course of study that teaches us to love, except for its rudiments such as sensing other people's needs that requires our closest attention.
