Good stuff: We love poetry

Louis Reyes Rivera

Poetry is salve for the soul, it is emptying without exhausting. 50BOLDers appreciate this release on words and here are two poems that we consider ‘Good Stuff ‘…

MASTER TEACHER

(For Louis Reyes Rivera)

 

You dispersed ancestral gems

of knowledge and wisdom

 

Unleashed illuminating creative energy

to those prepared and ready to continue the work

 

You have passed on the baton to chosen runners

 

And will be waiting at the finish line

to welcome home courageous souls

who accomplished what they were born to do

 

Because of incredible master teachers like you

guiding others to usher in the new

 

Our time has come

according to the inner drum

 

Singing to joyful hearts

 

WE HAVE WON!

 

–By Angela Kinamore

PASSION

I promise to live my life with passion

each and every day

 

And treat those with compassion

that I meet along the way

 

I’ll soar to heights I never thought

that I would ever reach

 

And every day, in every way

I’ll practice what I preach

 

I’ll work as hard as I can stand

but I’ll take some time for me

 

I’ll smell each rose and watch each sunset

each sunrise that I see

 

I’ll feel the rain, I’ll face the sun

I’ll open up my heart

 

I’ll finish every project and each program

that I start

 

And when the day is over

and twilight comes to stay

 

I’ll have lived my life with passion

every step of the way!
