A Song . . . .

awesome, and inspiring.

you will have to help this ignorant reader, what are the rolling spheres?

"If faith would be used as a wonder drug
And patience as aphrodisiac
Agonized spirit would burst into song"

those are my favorite lines.

"If faith would be used as a wonder drug

And patience as aphrodisiac" this is the essence of your poem as I read it....I think I will post them on my monitor to remind me of a better way to think.

Lisa - your kindness touches me, inspires me, helps me to continue these experiments in thought - I am very grateful and thank you from the depths of my heart.

Deven - awww!! you're pulling my leg ain't you? I mean the planets - and thank you for choosing the lines I enjoyed writing the most in this piece of verse.

Charlotte - thank you, dear friend. You confirm what I beleive in and am glad you share the same beleif.

I somehow "sensed" that you'd find the thread behind this thought Amy - I was not worng. Thank you for your profound compliment, dear sister.

'Agonized spirit would burst into song'
'Meanwhile, granted wish culminates in a song'
These lines touched a strong feeling in my heart.
Thank you Vinay
Just Me
Barbie

Just be, just you Barbie - you are are a wonderful friend and thank you.

Vinay:

Thank you for coming back with such depth still intact. I admire your ability to write from a sacred point of view without name calling. This pacifies your message in the hands of those who would mislead while arming the rest of us with an awareness of a common yearning.

still you are giving us such beautiful poetry...we are so lucky,..I feel that you have so many amazing aspects to display through your poetry...you have touched many strings...
loved it..

Thank YOU Hajji - I relate my spririt with eternity and anticipate that everyone does so too - that you understand my need without specifications is a compliment I treasure - but then, what name do we give Him and know we're justified. What is sacrosanct, will be - what we beleive is just a perception of our limited understanding. Thank you, mentor - I'm very grateful for your input.

Bhawana - the pen will not always be loquacious - promise me, you'll have the courage to criticize when I write and post anything "sub standard" - friends like you are a gift I'd like to keep for all my life. Thank you, 'coz luck IS the friends you choose.

Vinay, I enjoyed this look at faith and passion; how they can be connected and each gain by that collaboration. I must admit I, too, was confused by your reference to rolling spheres. I couldn't stop thinking of "A rolling stone gathers no moss." LOL! I'm glad you explained your meaning - it made this work much more for me. :-)

This is wonderful, Vinay. I always enjoy your poetry so much.

Tom, Cheryl, Reena - all my efforts with the pen would be so empty without you. I can't thank you enough for being there, for being receptive and so refreshingly encouraging.

The mantra of your song clears the clouds from the sky.

And your presence, the assurance of your friendship Natalie gives me the inspiration to be here. Thank you, I'm truly obliged.

Words of solace, hope, and faith, in the outer realms, belief in connectivity all, it is wonderful. I have a friend, a mother here in this small town, who has a son with an inoperable cancer. She fights everyday, and hosts benefit after benefit to provide him with alternative medicine and food. She must pay $1,000.00 per month, just for the food. He is in Tennessee right now, his name is Jerry and he has a family, with small children. Our town is economically depressed, but we all give as much as possible. He has to have the "Cleansing Treatment" in Tennessee, and then he must fly back, It costs $18,000.00 for these treatments, She has maxed out all her credit cards, mortgaged her home, sold everything she can, and asks everyone for help. If you could write, with your great talent, a poem of love and comfort, I would so appreciate it, and put Barb and her son Jerry in your prayers. as he is in the fight of his life, and so is this mother, Vinay, and I trust you can so something so important, you are a Man of great depth and understanding. It is needed now. I am too poor to help her much, but perhaps this will. Thanks for this great poem, and I hope to hear from you. God bless you and yours always. Ellen B------I am moving so may be down a few days, I hope not , but I will be back.

My sister in spirit, Ellen - never before has anyone moved me with their comment on any of my articles as you have done with these words full of pathos. Your charitable spirit and your devotion to your friend and her son move me to tears. I may not have the talent to rise to the profound level of your expectation but I'm posting a special request and shall ask every friend here on Gather and the many talented writers to reach out to Barb and her son.

i do not have a big wallet...sigh.....to open for these folk....so will gladly share
my HEART......blessings......

Come and join the Poetry Salon and share your poetry.

An exquisite poem Vinay and one that I am certain bring healing to many hearts. I am grateful to have connected with your words and felt the lifting of my own heart. Will you explain the image of the "rolling spheres?" I think of the constant flux and fluidity of life and our connectedness with one another as our lives collide and meld and merge.

Delightful

many pending songs are awaiting Vinay...
