My parents taught me right and wrong
Traditions taught me too
Then I grew up and moved away
As far as Timbuktu
Though similar in many ways
They had some different views
Their customs seemed quite foreign
But their sentiments rang true
Although such mores are cultural
And relative thereto
What would be gained should I offend
Their conscience or taboos?
And so I learned to see their side
Respecting “good” they do
For all in all they cherish
What their parents taught them too
This blog is dedicated to offering daily verse--a thought to contemplate throughout the day and enrich the inner life. Poetry reaches into the heart in ineffable ways. Similar to music which speaks below the horizon of conscious thought, poetry represents the first shards of dawning. The splintered light that cracks the heavens to illuminate reality. Rhythm, rhyme, and reason dancing. Words, whispers, and wonderment flashing. Images, impression, and intellect converging. Such is the language of enlightened prose, and the oracle through which it pollinates the mind.
