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!
