~*~A Poet Most Beneficent

Missing image



Upon my nose I caught the scent
Of a poet most beneficent.

Of sugared fruit, lilac, and apple pie
A heady fragrance she pens and scribes.

Though ne'er had I encountered her before
Parallel understanding we share and more

 

An insight to the nature of all that is or will ever be.
That it's conjoined; I am you ...you are me.

 

So I know from whence your wisdom comes
It's in the air to glean for all... because;

 

Your kindness shines and demonstrates
One is never served by dealing hate.

 

For we are all connected, we are one
What we do to others to self is done.

 

What you speak of truly is
The fact of all things that exist.

 




I Wish a Happy Birthday for MargaretG
So a Happy Day I Wish, Also for Me!!!!!

    I read this again today, and picked out the same stanza as the one that speaks to me:
    "For we are all connected, we are one
    What we do to others to self is done. "
    That is something to bear in mind every day. Thank you for your thoughts which you expressed so long ago, and retained in your archive.

    Thank you! I'm so glad to know you have actually had a chance to see it! You have expressed the "Oneness" Like a thread through your works I read; and though my writing has many perspectives; styles; genres and content, The intrinsic core of my philosophy and my Gleaning of the true nature of our spirit, Is just as you have expressed yours...of course that's only fitting, since we are one! Wishing you the most marvelous
    Birthday!

    Great!

    DK! I'm very touched and impressed that all your reading has culminated in this tremendous set of couplets. I particularly like stanza 7, what we do to others we do to ourselves. I really believe what goes around comes around, and we see today that kindness cast on the waters comes back tenfold. Besides, it feels good to do good. Thanks very much for joining the party!

    It's difficult to find someone that doesn't see beauty in her poems. The variety of her work is very large, and we always can find something (many things actually) that hold us there.
    Your poem is delicate and lovely. You've written down many of the things I saw on her words when I first start to read them.
    Thanks for this birthday poem, which I'm sure will make her smile
