Dark Corners

to pay it forward, be true

it's not all about you

but being part of the test

make us happy  

place a smile on our face...

 

…and equally important, we share the good. The small things that allow us to smile or feel warm in our hearts...simplify what we can… if you will.

...gloriously, anyone can do it, just sit  for a couple of minutes, take a breath, and look around or reminisce....so easy to see, love is...:)  all around us…find  a friend or stranger...and let them in on it...

 

 take the time to lean on each other            

                

                  btw...

 

dark places are only corners

of our minds where the light

hasn't quite crept in yet...

so stick out your tongue,

notice all that is good and

taste the beautiful dawn...

Just what I needed to read at this moment in my day and life. Your words delivered to me peace and calm where restless and heartache lives. This write is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I so much enjoy the sincerity and warmth your poems and writings bring to my soul. Thanks Allen,

This is just absolutely beautiful writing I so enjoyed reading. Your words flow so gently through the verses which makes it all the more impressive! "Dark places are only corners of our minds where the light hasn't quite crept in yet". I love this line...it's powerful!

I love the wisdom you put into this poem. You seem to be trying to reach out to your readers. I love it. Awesome read!

btw...excellent work. Last stanza is the best. It made me smile. Glad you posted.

Sharing the obligations and the joys of others makes us better people and I am sure you are cut from the finest cloth

Liked this, the change from a standard verse at the start to a prose section in the middle, makes this an unusual poem, and I really like the extended metaphor of the last verse, as always from Allen, quality writing
