America

This poem is in Autumn Leaves:

There! Do you see it? Is it still there?

A bright ray of light that splits the dark clouds of despair…

A ray of light brightly shining forth

Through the dark gloom of ignorance…

A ray of light bravely illuminating

And piercing the haze of hunger.

What is this light made of?

Where does it come from?

This bright brave light is composed of

Invisible substances called love,

Hope, dreams, tolerance and freedom.

It emanated from a piece of earth called America,

Conducted by a God-fearing people

Who left the darkness and live in the light.

This bright light cannot be extinguished

Because, once seen or heard of,

Shines into the hearts and minds of the tired,

Hungry and opposed people of the world.

Do you see it? Yes! Yes!

Thank God, it’s still there!

  1. I rarely comment, but i did some searching and wound up here America | wfosterwelborn. And I
    do have some questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these responses come across as if they are coming from brain dead individuals?
    😛 And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I would like to
    keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you
    list of every one of all your shared pages like your Facebook page, twitter
    feed, or linkedin profile?

  21. First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
    you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and
    clear your head prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting
    my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Thanks!

    Like

    • Thank you for your compliment. In response to your question, I have to say that centering myself is an easy thing because I have practiced it for many years. Eric Butterworth used to say that life is a wheel – one can be at the hub (center) or out on the circumference. If one lives on the circumference, one feels really busy and run over…caught up in the circumstances. However, if one lives in the hub, it is quiet. When I take God’s hand in the morning, I am living in the hub. As to clearing my head, meditation and deep breathing can accomplish that quickly. Happy writing! Enjoy your day! 🙂
