The Late Bloomer Baby Boomer - 4

Creativity
Awakening
Teacher loving
Children rousing
Three wise men cheering
Life of Jesus dawning
Amazed by miracle
Of my own rebirth
Words embracing my heart and soul
Jesus whispering poems of divinity
Penetrating the dark recesses of my mind
Pure white healing light filling every cell
Rendering me helpless...surrendering
Like a whipped puppy I bow my head...humbled
Humility reminding me of my humaneness
Kneeling I open my heart and tears flooding my eyes
As I regress to a time so long ago where I had witnessed
Through the eyes of three wise men the life and death of my true saviour
Days turn into weeks...
And weeks into months...
And months into years...

Another great read, Richard. Thank you for sharing. A wonderful glimpse of a one of a.kind generation.
Thank you for reading and the very positive responses, Rose Marie! Yes, my generation was definitely one of a kind! It was so exciting to experience the aliveness of that incredible time. The music. The anti-war protests. My personal fight against censorship in my high school. Great memories!
A life in a nutshell - colorful, wonderful and meaningful. Another amazing series giving key points on faith. humility, and humaneness.
Rose Marie, I've been blessed to have had some incredible mentors that so greatly assisted me in my writings to generate these kinds of very positive responses. Very grateful to you, Poetess Friend!

Yes, Rob. I was very fortunate to have had a very interesting and compassionate mentor in the form of my English teacher and guidance counsellor. Her creative writing exercises had a profound effect on these writings!
