Beautiful

                                                    Beautiful,though kept
                                          in the eyes of countless children
                                            is a word that should awaken
                                              ALL human consciousness.

                                               Quietly,it dwells around us.
                                  And if the word can be described plentiful
                                           let the ways be counted,spoken,
                             and felt in present time,for it hides in plain sight.

                                                The word gains strength
                                        When two broken hearts find solace,
                                     shines bright when a soul helps another,
                            and reigns supreme where strength is numbered.

                                            So as we voice this revelation,
                                                 let it comfort us to know
                                that Beautiful, though in the eyes of children....
                                can truly shine through the eyes of the world.

James

wouldn't it be nice if we could keep the innocence of a child and the wisdom of an adult unfortunately the world leaves us more jaded by the day and still in some of us there is still that child the first sentence in the last stanza so as we voice the word let it comfort us to know the so as we voice the word is a tad bit weak when compared with the rest of the poem but that is only one opinion Chrys

response to poetry

Thank you for the attention you gave to reading my work.It is exactly what I want to improve my writing.I understand that some of my poems may need some correction,as writing it is still a relatively new thing for me.My greatest wish is to be a fiction novelist.I also noticed that my poetry can be somewhat redundant in its wording.Its because I choose,sometimes,to emphasize a certain word or phrase.I know it can be a little difficult to read,but I will try to improve as I go.So thank you again for reading.One more thing:I want to show my poetry to more readers,but I am not sure how.Can you message me back for help on that?I will greatly appreciate it.

If only we could stay young forever

Great Job my friend... well done I hold it true, whatever befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
