The Thrall Of It All

wisdom bestowing

upon a journey

with love growing

in the discovering

the treasure of pleasure

in the giving

and the receiving

to find and be found

lost within the thrall

of a celestial blessing

the all in all

of a unified everything

above and below

to know nothing

but the unbridled thrill

of touching perfection

upon a firm foundation

within the flow

of divine revelation

with love all encompassing

beyond the superficial

and misguided emotion

from an empty spin

upon a cosmic wheel

to realms ethereal

within an empyreal

heavenly deal

the mind temporal

the heart corporeal

yet ever grasping

for the divine

through a portal supernal

life’s grandeur

cast from the hand

of all that is to be

and all that has past

with a blast of love eternal

the kind that will last ❤️♾️

the heart has no questions.”

and embroidered by imagination.”

“The creative person is both more
primitive and more cultivated, more
destructive, a lot madder and a lot
saner, than the average person.”

  1. Love conquers all David …
    Love Is Not Declined 
    My internal battle is never ending  Neither won nor lost My opponent is my ghost I forgive with the morning dew And my regrets are few 
    There are two breaths in every moment  The first one kisses our heart The second breath caresses our soul 
    True love is hard to find  And impossible to define When found, be exceedingly kind Love can spellbind your mind But blindly, love is not declined

    1. It’s nice to be bedazzled and
      thoroughly conquered, Ivor 😎👍

      world go ’round.” ~ Bob Dylan

      “If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy.
      If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing.
      If she’s worth it, you won’t give up.
      If you give up, you’re not worthy ….
      Truth is, everybody is going to hurt
      you; you just gotta find the ones worth
      suffering for.” ~ Bob Marley

    1. Thank you, Destiny 🙏😎
      Coincidentally, I now regret leaving out
      the words, ‘freedom of destiny’, but I felt
      the need to tread carefully when it comes
      to matters of poetic fate 🤔🕶️

    1. My pleasure. Jah bless you, Pat 🙏😎
      If it wasn’t for my genetic predisposition
      (being Anglo-Celtic) I would’ve become a
      Dharma Rastafarian. Call it multi-cultural
      inappropriate appropriation 🤔🕶️
      You had a true icon of freedom for a
      fellow countryman … Respect ☮️
