"Echoes from My Soul & Whispers From My Soul" 1

Poetry is echoes from my soul,
descending through mind's corridors,
Whispering to my animal brain,
melodies of spiritual reality.

Rhyme is the right brain's interpretation,
of music descending from my spirit.
rhythms whose immortal melodies,
transcend physical reality.

Verse is the left brain's translation,
of echoes descending from my soul,
words cannot adequately express,
spiritual reality.

Gratitude List For 13 Sharaf

Today I am thankful...
          ...for the shortbread cookies I have to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for the apple sauce, and the cheerios with milk that I had for breakfast.
          ...that I have 70,737 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the bean burrito I had for supper today.
