Cryptic Scribble Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

Cryptic Scribble

Rating: 5.0


-less than dust-
this world, in the main,
stewing in madness
don't belong here-
still, faithfully must...

walk on this soil
voluble, deafening sounds
skin-deep in boil-
as birdbrained grounds-

opining on 'things'-

not knowing much
not interested
eager to hear nor watch-

silence is treasure
still, dimwit will measure
the loudness of sounds
big-sounding words
attracting blind hordes-

-less than dust-
don't belong here
still, faithfully must...

each life has might
welcoming LIGHT
endure at HIS sight...

-am less than dust
don't belong here...
still, till the End must...

Thy Guiding Hand
Thy Love Divine
touch by Thy nearness
all souls and mine...

Jesus... I love you...

'silence is treasure' - how true! 'dimwit will measure the loudness of sounds'... somewhat satirical, conveying great insight as 'less than dust' and ending with most powerful truth and conclusion. This poetical creation in a few carefully chosen words and ideas reveals your great intellectual cleverness.10!

'Each life has might, welcoming LIGHT endure at HIS sight' - a most spiritually enlightening insight! My next favorite insightful observation is 'less than dust, don't belong here still faithfully must'. Cryptically written verse, yet what excellent results achieved through this clever technique! ! ! 'Jesus, I love you' TOO! Love, Penny 10+++

Very meaningful and powerful words of wisdom. Worthy of much contemplation.World is 'stewing in madness' and we don't do much about it. Your poem gives us the true meaning of life...we are here to serve Our God and each other...no matter what! Extraordinary delivery Dr. Kardas.

Dr. Kardas, We are in absolute agreement with your cryptic yet full of essence message - without serving our God, we are less than dust! And, as you imply without the virtue of humility we will stay less than dust! It is amazing how much you conveyed using this cryptic style! God bless! Peter and family
