Fear not my friends,
All is not as it seems.
You Will endure beyond the passing of this body;
To where, to what,
We cannot say for sure,
But know this;
You ARE loved beyond
Your deepest capacity to understand.
That love, and you shall not perish.
Keep the peace, share the love
While you are here, for that is
Our Purpose.
There is more to come, always.
New day, New year,
New eyes, New Birth,
New Love.
Always Love.
Never DESPAIR.

The rosy glow of the predawn sky
Suggests another day is nigh.
Promises of hope and tasks fulfilled,
With hopes that fears are stilled.
No life is promised to be free,
None can expect that pains flee.
Our only task is to live,
To do our best and to give.
We cannot out do our Maker,
His plans come foremost.
We can know that we are the Nacre,
That can only be exposed to the Host.
This TRUTH seems belittling,
In truth it is not.
Each day our spirits He is whittling,
To bring us closer to our lot.
“Fear not, for I am with thee”
His promise to attend.

Beautiful poetry, Jerry! Thank you for sharing it with us! (I didn't know what a nacre was, glad you linked the article)
Glad you liked it @ironshield, I thought you might.
I am always afraid of getting you-know-who down my neck because of reposting, but once in a while it is worth the risk.
Happy New Year my friend
Quality posts deserve to be reposted from time-to-time. There's usually a new audience!
Quality posts deserve to be reposted from time-to-time. There's usually a new audience!And therein lies the rub for me. I got SOOOOO much guff from hive-watchers when we split from steemit; as far as I was concerned it was nearly ALL a
new audience
But NOOOO, I was double dipping into the rewards pool, since ALL my previous posts were still available on the chain.
Will someone who has just joined the chain, who knows almost nothing about the chain, scroll back YEARS to see my old quality posts?
We know they won't. So THEY will never have seen nor (one hopes) benefitted from my writings.
Thanks again
The Karens at hive-watch can be very hysterical, you can join their discord and speak with them, they don't like to be confronted after they point the finger from the shadows. https://discord.gg/HgJZuYpx
I am in their server along with a dozen others.
I DID go and complain back then, and (I think) we reached an 'understanding'.
I'm not a 'serial reposter' as the folks in "The Inkwell" community accused me of and banned me for being one.
Mind games
Well done, Jerry! I really liked this one and I had to look up nacre. I had no idea. These words flow so beautifully. Your poetry is top-notch.
Taking you and my Maker home. Hang on!
Thank you so much Denise, you are always so encouraging to me, which I greatly appreciate @dswigle
It is easy when it is so well done!
