Poems by Deborah Russell
A Pennyworth
Quicken my heart
truth
to bestow
maketh not
my lips
quiver but
smooth the
edges
of sorrow.
A Pennyworth Prayer
Praise be and blessings
for life's little lessons
Praise be and blessings
for each and every nook,
and corner of the chamber
in the heart of life
Praise be to the fallen
and to those who can't be found
Praise to the flowers, to
the saffron and the shaft
Praise be to the God of mercy
for our soul to quicken
hearts to acceptance and
forgiveness
Prayer for the distraught and confused, may you have greater freedom
in your souls, and new vision in your mirrors of life.
The Pennyworth Poet
Pennyworth Poet
odes
to birth
love
life
and
death.
Degas
impressionistic
dabs
of unfinished
thoughts
and
sentences
glimpses
of
love
enough to
light a
flickering
candle
wax
smile.
Soliloquies
I
scribe
of
nature
speaking
in
cosmic
voice
transcending
meditation
to
soothe
the
ear
of
the soul,
I am
The Pennyworth Poet.
The Poetess
The poetess
converses
with the wind
and talks
to the moon
and rides
high on a sea
of thought
and
a glimmer
of an idea
Then
takes pen
to paper
and
plants
each seeded
word
and speaks
forever
to the
world.
When Poetess Weeps
When poetess weeps
it is deep
often years
without a tear
she cries for
the earth
and sobs for the children
and bleeds from
her heart
for love.
