A New Year with Opportunity(by Joe DiMino)
Quick on fire But when held, A deeper touch, Surface love Is cold (Such matches are cheap Any Five and Dime Sells them (Appearing near stars Not a plus rates the heart) For no sparkle Can make even One genuine price But the real jewels The hearts endearing expressions Are never cliché Nor paid for entirely Constellations fade in and out Confidence turns From sure To about I mean, though sight and feel Solid as a rock Still that does not make Any substance Longevity real An experience Even remotely sonorous; Two hands Or a multitude clapping Loud and clear Does not float a Registered sound Without a singer On stage And hummers in The audience (Such extended core Paramount if Theater worthy awards The ideal animation Of good and bad Life) The only thing Sacred as soulful Is usually the first We sever To part For a morsel of fame A fruitless journey Is a youthful ego Oblivious To its own strength The inherent resource A grace at birth Reminding me I guess You know That thing About the horse And the cart? Each of us Is a miracle Of new beginnings And discoveries With reins in hand Go without fear Press with confidence Into the New Year Omnipotence Is a manmade word Starts in the mind To the lips On to the world Of living vibration Or motion And then Back to fond deity We had At the start When all was still And perfect Before the fall Of memory Heaven not only height But a merciful Bottom . Nothing dies forever Outside of God To Himself Reborn degrees By our acquaintance Leave a comment
