A Thought
Judge not what thou hast oft in sight,
as deep must live the soul.
Thy naked eyen might tell thee lies,
whilst hearts shall tell it all.

Twix your God and the essence of all things, is a domain we shall call Heaven, because it is too beautiful for any other word.
That we shall dwell within this domain in perfection, is a task that we must try to achieve.
There shall be only a love of an energy that will eclipse all other things, there we shall be free of all man made stupidity,
Yours as always, Ian

By all means should you experiment.
On anything.
The language you mimic is Old English.

i love this little shortie Rula
but 'soul' and ''all'' is a weak rhyme (imo)
lol - it may be my aussie accent, but i think
''whilst hearts shall tell the whole.' might work better ???
this little beautie trips awesomely over the tongue when read aloud
love judy

Yes of course I like it.
I love all that you write even with the occasional flaw. It's a good poem even without the new language.

I like how concisely you wrote this poem. A moral in verse--very lovely
