Easy
The Road Maps on my Hands
I look upon my hands,
No matter under light night or day,
All the creases and crinkles, scars and burns
Full life of work and care
Work and Love,
And each new wrinkle of age,
Family and Friends,
All the hugs I helped created
Dirty or clean,
Still full of happiness and pride,
Old or Young,
Have felt such sadness and pain
Scratched or bruised,
I still view with pride
These old hands of mine….

Thank you for your comment. I really like the phrase, “explosive poetry creation.” Please write again.

From my own personal experience, this element of emotional pain seems to be the key to explosive poetry creation. Perhaps it assists us to get to the basis of our deep emotions, which many times seem buried within us, as we move through life. Many times we find ourselves, playing a role of sorts, in our daily lives, playing a part, of a person, we are not. Only in the sharing of my own poetry work with others, have I been able to fully understand, that truly we are all the same in the soul within us, created by God’s love for us. The difference in us, and a rock, is the gift of “free will” given to each of us, to love God or not to love God, which in our lives is close to choosing to either love ourselves, or not love ourselves. “Love yourself, as you would love others” which means to me, not bringing harm to ourselves or others, in not living our lives within the relm of moderation and self disipline. Most importantly, to bring pride to our Creator in the living of our lives, in the sharing our blessings and our joys with others, without a count or a tally on our parts.
My Best Wishes,
John J. Rigo aka Internationalpoet
