Life Force

Life Force

 Softly whisper in my ear,
  Touch my simple wet tear.
    Listen to my crying pain!
     Feel my heart going lame!

      See the light; that flickers off,
       Reach for heaven's; Spirit soft!
        Inhale all fair beauty lost,
         Remove treasured family; cost!

          Taste the bitter and the sweet,
           Rolled in rice paper; so neat.
            Hear distant terse ship bell toll,
             Even it doth vibrate; cold!

               Direct my dark wayward course!
                Coalesce my begging; life force!

Hello Jim, 
this is a beautiful read. The journey of life and its emotional trials. I loved the structure. Those chosen words that almost whisper in my left ear as I read. Very clever and really brings this piece to another level. How it shines at the end with its last line! To feel complete within the true light and energy of life itself 

Stunning ⭐️ 

Gwen :)

Jim one to most certainly keep and treasure, such a captivating flow to it and your choice of words for the ending is spectacular to read.
A real journey of a poem and said journey is a good and sublime one.
Richly conceived and impressed and greatly struck in how you have written it, for not a word is wasted or out of place.
A perfect poem you have brilliantly expressed and kindly shared here.
Full deserving honours and poetry kudos respectfully bestowed to your good self.
A sublime and equally superb write.
