Paths of Heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On paths of heart I travel truly blest,
To make my way upon this living quest.
In wondrous awe I struggle faithfully,
In full acceptance of mortality,
    With full abandon my death I contest.

I stay the course the spirit’s humble guest,
Resigned to face each new, more pressing test.
Completely, gratefully, purposefully;
     On paths of heart I travel truly blest.

I feel the gift of love within my breast,
So life’s unfairness I shall not protest.
I bear my servant’s fate compliantly,
And through acceptance set my spirit free.
I’ve tears of mournful joy yet unexpressed,
     On paths of heart I travel truly blest.

    Thank you for your entry

    This is truly beautiful a testament to faith. I llve the background as well. . Gives it that feeling of faith and beauty.

    The form was impeccably done, it seems you have been writing in this form for a long time. The flow and rhythem was seamless and really I can't see anything that was off in the rhyme scheme or flow.

    I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.

    God Bless
    Tammy

    What a wondrous Rondeau ...

    I love it.

    I could not go to church this morning and listened to the sermon on the radio. The preacher said: If the eye is right, the heart is right, and if the heart is right, the eye is right. We are not here to glorify ourselves, but God. It simply made sense all the way, for the perspectives of the soul is in complete alignment with the Will of God ... we KNOW when we stray.

    I think you must compose this ... It is a timeless song to sing.

    Love
    Always Myra

    PS. My ID is MyraTAAL -- TAAL meaning LANGUAGE -- Cropped up, it is The Language of My Ra (Ra being the God of Sun, which for me is God/Christ ... Myra is of course my real name. So: when I started to sell my poetry from door to door to survive -- yes, I did that, and I did by foot! Imagine doing this, by a basically shy soul -- I had to have a name for my "business" and I called it TAALKREATIEF -- Language Creative ... it was a short step away from Myrataal, which means MY MASTER'S VOICE LOL Before long, I was working in schools and in the business sector, showing entrepreneurs the power of language ... and KREATIV is the niche publishing part of being obedient ...)

    Your sonnets always take me to a dream land. I simply want to crawl inside your arms and go to sleep. This is stunning and you couldn’t derive inspiration from a better poet.

    Love,
    Your Amera♥

    This would do well in PrabhuDayal's 'immortality ' contest too. Much as I would like to think I fit into this image, sadly oftentimes I do not and struggle to find that path of accepting heart and obedient servitude. A sterling write, as usual, Poet. Best wishes in this contest. Peace, Rhonda
