~*~

Your

passion

resides deep

within my hearts

grasp

~*~

Lift

sorrows

that beckon

my souls mighty

clutch

~*~

Hold

on tight

to our love

I'll never doubt

faith

~*~

Seek

the truth

throughout all

the darkened times

past

~*~

Life

shines as

you search for

a touch which holds

me

~*~

Take

my hand

sweet, Father

and I'll know you're

here

~*~

This

is where

our hearts are

pieced in moments

time

~*~

Love

me now

so that bonds

prevail throughout

years

~*~

Stay

with me

and always

be my treasured

gift

~*~

Grab

my heart

and teach those

love once more my

Lord

Pretty simple stuff Poets.....I will be looking at, Aesthetics & Message -

 

This Form was created centuries ago to be gifts of Art for their Masters of ancient days of old when they could not pay their taxes....I expect your Aesthetics to be Spot-On -

 

Prompt:  Troubling Times

 

Take it wherever you wish -

 

 

 

Good luck & God bless,

 

Bear -

 

 

HINT:

 

The more Lanturnes you have, the more you can say....however, I have had some Poets say a lot with few of them....let me see IMPACT!

        Thanks, Sweetie. I saw that, but I was confused by this:

        A Lanturne String
        Syllable count is:
        1-2-3-4-1
        (X 10)
