Love for each day

love for each day bringing light
love for the darkness of each night
love for the pain of death and losses
love for the challenges life tosses
love for the birds in the open sky
love for the earth that does not lie
love for those who love us back
love for those whom we cannot crack
love for the sweetness of our dreams
love for what is not as it seems

love this litany... its dreamlike turnings like a rubics cube of changing perspectives.

Yes, lovely. I could almost imagine hearing a children's choir singing it set to music ....

Most beautiful, and loving! I like especially that many of the objects are not people, places of things, but qualities...

" Amour pour chaque jour
amour pour chaque jour apportant la lumière
amour pour l'obscurité de chaque nuit
aimez pour la douleur de la mort et des pertes
amour pour les jets en l'air de la vie de défis
aimez pour les oiseaux dans le ciel ouvert
aimez pour la terre qui ne se trouve pas
amour pour ceux qui nous aiment en arrière
aimez pour ceux que nous ne pouvons pas fendre
amour pour la douceur de nos rêves
aimez pour ce qui n'est pas ce qu'il semble "

Magnifique !!
Vous devriez écrire des poèmes en Français !!!

Snowsparkle, a rubic's cube is much the way it seems. A puzzle, an interrelation of diverse and opposing parts.

Mary, that's a very intriguing thought. Thank you.

Brenda, certainly qualities as well as objects... the whole thing!

Alan, I am working on it, too, that's why I write about it!

tongue in cheek... I'm pleased you enjoyed the poem. And welcome!

Lori w, and oh, that last line holds much! I'm gratified that you picked up on that.

Jean, merci. Et merci aussi pour votre remarque. Mais j'ai un tout petit probleme -- je n'ai pas de correcteur pour mon francais! Et meme que je parle/ecris un peu, c'est loin de parfait. Je suis certaine que je fais des erreurs partout. Peut etre un jour que j'aurais de la confiance a l'essayer...

What a benediction. There's something so powerful in repetition.

Si la chose est possible , je vous propose de vous aider à composer vos poèmes en français .
J'ai été un moment professeur de français bien que la plus grande partie de ma vie j'étais instituteur . Ma spécialité était la poésie .
Bien entendu , ma proposition ne concerne que la correction de la phrase et du mot .

Anne, yes, of course. Thank you for asking. I ask only that proper credit be given.

Leslee, you are right. Used in the right way, repetition can be a powerful tool. (Of course, improperly used... stultifying!)

Frankie, ah, thank you. You've made me smile.

Jean, je vous remercie pour votre proposition genereuse... et surprenante! Je pense que ca devrait etre possible. (Bien sur, il me faudra ecrire de quelque chose!) ... Ah, quelle aventure! Un grand merci, Jean! Vous vous montrez tellement genereux!
