Converse With Shepherd Dateless Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.
Converse With Shepherd Dateless
Under dark ominous clouds...
Thoughts of mine rowing with Being Celestial
His Voice melodic, earnest... seemingly terrestrial:
Grieve we must grieve over hearts buried...
Those hurriedly engaged yet slyly unhurried
Over wasteland... in the brain land,
And, the lips that are hectic yet uncaring.
Grieve we must grieve over 'self-love married...'
Those hurriedly absorbed in self,
Still, to others numb and unhurried,
Minds intoxicated with hatred venom
Voyages taken into the land of deception,
Where values are robbed of pure color and merit
Earthlings stuck in sands of mystified sadness
Soaking up all with thirsty sponge of madness;
All embraced with an arm of toleration
Each value has fluid face and coloration.
Grieve we must grieve over sinister machination
The illusory needs that leave
The dim-witted head with dire starvation...
On dusty roads vacant eyes staring...
Fell in the grime! for all was mine!
Burning hurriedly with burned out imagination,
Not grieving over short-lived... vain machination.
Grieve we must grieve over hearts buried
Over wasteland... in the brain land...
(Unthinking of the Final Thought...)
And the hands busy yet uncaring...
...................................................................................................
Woe to me if I do not speak of Thee!
If the heart stays un-free, and the mind is on me... woe to me!
Not to know only... but to believe! ... to believe...
Averting eyes from thrill-seeking... imminent, ominous mischief...
Forever fed from the Hand of the Sacred Lamb...
Poetry at its best! 'Fell in the grime for all was mine! ' - what a truthful line! Great and original imagery, again, a profoundly meaningful and powerful verse! Your poetic skills, styles of expression and wisdom are simply unique and remarkable! Dr. you are extraordinarily gifted and your work is always full of pleasant surprises! 10!
Deeply moving and brilliant...A CALL for ALL to stop our foolishness and...Listen..Converse...Repent...Change...Put into Action..Listen...a cycle worth remembering. for it should be repeated every moment of our existence. Great truth, you've motivated me to get going & to do more ...Thanks CC
Outstanding poem! Love the imagery and its very clever delivery... important divine truths are stressed firmly and convincingly. Yes, grieve we must for all the lost moments we have not listened to the Divine Shepherd, who is always trying to reach everyone's heart and soul. Woe to us...forever...if we do not feed from the 'Hand of the Sacred Lamb'. Haunting thoughts for the 'sheep'...we thank you.
Dear Dr. Kardas, Messages of eternal importance, eloquently and cleverly stated in your poetic verse. Woe to ALL of US who do not 'converse' with the Shepherd and grieve over the mess we've made of this earth: The Creator's gifts... Lots to digest here... Thanks for another great 'brain stretcher'. Eddie
