LINDA IMBLER

A Light Heart

My heart

steps out of the shadows,

into light,

which, from you,

glows.

Your need and mine,

now apparent.

Let us bask together.

Brikx

Building something

and fearing it might fall apart

is not the right attitude.

Start being excited about

what will stand up.

When the ball is in your court,

make your best decisions.

Thoughts rising as dispassionate temples,

roofs placed atop edifices that give purpose.

Throw your hat into the bustle of life.

Do not stand alone and still because of granite pride.

Considerations

Beauty within peace,

These things I consider:

Perceiving the swimming leadership of the sun

leaving shadows in its wake.

Observing degrees of luminosity

from the unhidden path of moonlight.

Relishing the sunny smiles of children,

still innocent,

before learning the meaning of vulgar words.

Friends and family of many flavors,

a trail of love and fellowship.

Finding triumph in a fair-minded purpose,

betterment.

Championing truth,

indestructible and brave,

from a righteous heart.

The elegance of beauty and peacefulness

neatly intertwined.
