The Touch – #Inspirational #Poetry

Love's-Contingency

The Touch of Love is seen in the Miraculous as well as the Simple,
In the Drops of Water upon a newborns head,
In the Benediction o’er a Final Resting Place;
The Touch of Love is Bread in our Hands
And Wine on our Lips,
In Prayers offered beside the sickbed
And in Joyful Laughter at the birth of Life;
The Touch is in the Understanding and Patience Spoken to a Troubled Youth,
And in the Sincere Help offered to One in Need,
It is Heard in the Promise of Unconditional Love
And the Warm Embrace or Handclasp extended to a Stranger.
The Touch of Love is known in the grinding bit of a drill
Searching for Fresh Water In a Forgotten Village,
And in a coverlet offered to a refugee, lost and alone.
The Gentle Touch of Love is Shared through words of Encouragement
To One depressed, discouraged or grieving,
And Through the Compassion of Empathy conveyed
By a Wordless Nod or Gaze.
The Touch of Love is Extended to Each of Us and Shared Through All of Us,
To The World In Need.

Unyielding Song

Unyielding Song

Love Whispers from Heart to Heart,
From Soul to Soul,
Encouragement and Empowerment
Its Gentle Goal;
Love Cradles with Tenderest Hands,
Love Sings Softly ,
Love Understands,
Love Never Looks away from its Dearest Treasure,
Remembering All,
Forgetting Everything,
Even the steepest Fall;
Love Holds us Carefully,
Compassionate,
True,
Love is Ever Near,
Ever Watchful,
Guarding Me,
Guarding You.
Listen in the Hush of your fretful Heart,
Amidst the chaos this world Imparts,
Hear Love Whispering its Unyielding Song,
Regardless of the deepest, darkest wrong;
Love is Speaking,
Soft and Clear,
If you Long to Remember,
Draw Quietly Near
And Love will Embrace you,
Whispering to your Heart,
Encouragement and Empowerment
Ever to Impart.

***This poem was Inspired by the Spirit through the Loving and Beautiful words of my Friend Amy found here https://herladypinkrose.wordpress.com/2015/05/07/cradled/ *****

4000

Less than 2 years ago I sat down at my laptop, looked up FREE blogging platforms on Google and discovered WordPress. That very same night I launched Booknvolume.com with little or not comprehension of what a blog was/is, what blogging is all about, or what I might share on said blog. As my very first post will testify (http://wp.me/p3C4k1-5) (go ahead, re-read it, I’ll wait….) I really hadn’t a clue about this whole blogging thing. As I perused the WordPress Reader for the first time, visiting other blogs and following those I found to my tastes, I noticed a blog (which shall remain nameless) that boasted over 2000 followers. What an accomplishment, I thought. How does one achieve such an incredible number? Would my humble little, nondescript blog ever glimmer so brightly?

Now, 21 months later, I have the overwhelming Honour, Pleasure and Sheer JOY of announcing that BnV has reached a milestone I NEVER anticipated. 4000 followers! ??? Really?! 4000? I’m not sure my math-impaired mind can even grasp that number, but there is ONE THING I do KNOW….

Without YOU, without Each and Every One of YOU; without your Kind Support, Encouragement, and continued Interest in these musings, and (sometimes) confusings, that spill from my Heart and Spirit, NONE OF THIS could ever have happened. I remember being amazed at having gained the interest of 50 followers…4000 is beyond my comprehension, plain and simple.

But what isn’t beyond my comprehension is that, although I often feel I’ve said “Thank You Ever So” in ever way imaginable (and perhaps I have), I could never say it often enough to truly express my Gratitude, my Honest and Open Heartfelt Gratitude to All Of YOU!

You are Blessing to me every day.
You are a Joy through all the Marvelous things You Say.
You make me Laugh, Bring me Joy, Make me Cry,
but I will NEVER ever wonder Why,
I was lead to this place to Share Inspiration,
Though I Thank God for this Amazing Invention,
And I Hope and Pray with all of my Heart,
I live up to Expectation from the very Start,
So Though these are Wild and Whirling Words (Yes, Hamlet)
(You’d be astonished if I would forget!)
I will say it once more in a Radiant Glow,
Thank You Sweet Friends! Thank You Ever EVER SO!

How You Uplift

How You Uplift

I Want to Thank Everyone for their Kind Concern…I cannot tell you how very much it means or how it lifted me!

When I am Lost and So Alone,
When Heartache crushes my Mirth and Merry,
When this Brave Heart stumbles in the fray,
And in my Spirit, Despondency Tarries,
Look I, then, to Your Love and Fervor,
Needing All Your Support, I Cry,
Never to be misplaced or Forgotten,
Your Concern and Friendship Brings ‘mazed Sighs!
O How You Uplift and Carry Me,
When Burdened and Buffeted I Fall,
Gathering me in Your Kindest Care,
Your Smiles and Encouragement, My All!
Yet when this Gloomy Cloud Departs,
The Solicitude You Offer, Still Fills this Heart.

~Morgan~

Up and Away

Up and Away

It is Ever on my mind,
Often in my Heart,
Yet Rarely Upon my tongue,
That I should Sing in Sweet Praise,
Joyful Thanksgiving,
And Humble Appreciation
For All you Say,
All You Do to Encourage Me,
All the Times you’ve Smiled into my Life
And Made me Shake my head in Utter Astonishment,
That you would Consider my Talent,
This Gift,
Worthwhile, Delightful, or a Blessing;
For so long misused and misapplied,
Long Bereft of Inspiration,
Now Rushing like a Tempest, Sweeping me Up and Away,
With it,
With You.

Thank You My Dear, Dear Friends and “Followers”.
It is Ever a Joy, Ever a Surprise!
Blessings and Jubilation Be Thine~

~Morgan~
