Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Spirituality: 40 of 123

A private thing that transcends all human understanding Once experienced no one is too demanding It is your destiny, no matter your religion Spirituality, doesn't just come from heaven For me it is private, it has more than one meaning And for that, to God I am leaning The lift I feel can mean only one thing As the angels si...

Dogs Not the friend of most cats but my best by far Always there with your childish grin Or with a wag of your tail when you know I didn't win You are, my friend, a shining star.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sorrow: 118 of 195

As the geese fly over my head, I remember not the things I dread. The unison of their gracious flight, brings back the memories of one winter night.
