*************************************
There's something more than meets the eye
where wishes soar and tears run dry
where roars of WAR! give way to sighs
of something more than meets the eye.
There are glorious gifts just out of reach
wrapped in dusk's blush of gold and peach
whose splendour serves as wonder's speech
on glorious gifts just out of reach.
Beyond the limits of man's word
in song of sea and glide of bird
is promise yearning to be heard
beyond the limits of man's word.
Outside confines of reason's sphere
moon-dusted thoughts shine sun-kiss clear
as dreams peel back constraint's veneer
outside confines of reason's sphere.
There's something more than meets the eye
where wishes soar and tears run dry
where roars of WAR! give way to sighs
of something more than meets the eye.
This poem rings with joy and wisdom. You sing beauty amid confusion, life's fullness within uncertainty, love and light in a sea of darkness. What a perfectly composed philosophical statement! This is my new mantra... I'm nailing it to my wall. Amazing XXX. Recommended
Amazing composition Susan..beautiful message...adore the third stanza lines
Brilliant rhythm, rhyme and repetition and theme as well. And after reading this, I really believe you Susan because you have hypnotized it through your picture's knowing eye into my head!!
This is fine work, Susan. You set a high standard for the rest of us.
There's something more than meets the eye when reading your wonderful poems Susan, brilliant write
There's a perfect contrast between the mid three verses and the message in verses one and five. Delightful rhyme and rythmn and you at your very best.
[There's something more than meets the eye] Perfect! Heart sees beyond the infinity?
A wonderful poem with words that reach beyond earthly ties.
Oh how I'm struggling Susan. This took me out of my comfort zone of the everyday and cast me into heady heights to places where I lose my sense of self. How you soar so high and never return with less than golden words, the very sun, is beyond me. Recommended, not that you need my recommendation! Lol. :) kath xxx
And there is more of your poetic talent than meets the eye. This is an excellent piece , great subject matter too.
Perfect rhyming scheme. A pleasure to read!.....Jerry (*_*)

Excellent poem, pleasure to read.
I agree with Magnolia, repetition makes it a powerful read...
Very poetic language you are employing here You have writing this poem with a poetic sphere. (recommended)
A brilliant poem...the repetition makes it a powerful read...Maggie
The expression ties into the poetic splendor that the form has created. The poem has a comforting muse snuggled between your lovely verses. Each stanza has a cake comfortably resting between the layers of icing. Wow is my word and salute my action
Susan, brilliant... from start to finish.
Another winsome piece, so well rhymed Susan..lovely as usual
Aye, sending the reader first to peruse Kath's excellent tribute to religion's failings and reason's triumph to set the stage for this breathtaking philosophical reply is superb. I frankly am thankful you did that for the two pair beautifully, the first paving the way for the second, drawing each reader in deeper to the age-old dilemma so beautifully rendered. Impressive, brilliant, winsome, irresistible, alluring, awesome. Superb. Fabulous imagery to boot. Wow. A pleasure to read.
