TRUE DELIGHT IN ALL OF US


True delight in all of us

If, drunk with sight of power
We loose wild tongues
Those first affections
Those shadowy recollections
will last forever in the dark

Dominion over palm and pine
Which, be they what they may
Are yet the fountain-light of all our day

The delight is with the velvet moon
not so fair in the field one lays his dreams
yet a master-light of all our seeing

Uphold us cherish and have power to make 
true delight in all of us 
Our noisy years seem moments in the being 
Of the eternal Silence of truths that wake in us

Oh the love of sacred song we all sing along
the flowers that looks so beautiful and smells
so sweet in summers breeze God gave to thee
We all seek the beauty of paradise.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
