Speaking of Karma
~~~
Speak not in anger
For words can cut deep
And what we do sow
We certainly reap
~~~
Let love be your guide
In all that you say
Mindful of the cost
That your soul will pay
~~~
A moment to pause
Old scars time to heal
Let go of the pain
The anger you feel
~~~
Great gift that it is
Given this proud voice
But how it is used
Is always our choice
~~~
What we vocalize
We disseminate
And nothing good comes
From speaking with hate
~~~
So, guard your words well
Think long what you say
For it will like spell
Return in some way
~~~
Let what breath exhales
Be not something spurned
Speak only with love
Enjoy karma earned
~~~
It’s good to be reminded that the Karma we wish upon others also gets wished upon us!
Thanks sis!
Well said- we all have the choice
Thank you, Beth!
I can’t speak with love. It gets me into too much trouble
Yeah, I get that. What about whispering about love?
Down with love. Also you never replied to my Skype mr man!
Sorry, this Skype thing is new to me and checking it has not yet become part of my routine. But I did reply now. Hope you are well and know I am thinking of you!
Karma, it will catch up, sometimes it’s instant like John Lennon said… A great poem to orient and to guide those who are wise. Beautiful my friend.
Thank you, Francisco! You are a blessing to me.
As are you to me my friend, you’re very welcome!
I needed this reminder. It’s hard not to hold hate in my heart for certain individuals who do evil, but hate can easily consume us if we’re not careful. Only love can conquer hate and only light can illuminate dark. How beautiful are those who let both shine freely! ❤😘
All of us need this reminder now and then. Love and light conquer all! 😘💕
This is good , Brad. Nicely done.
Thank you, Yassy!
This is a lovely written reminder for those who act out in hate, meanness or cruelty. Also great advice on waiting before you speak. Great poetry Brad with such important truths. How much nicer our world would be if we all exercised the lines of your poetry.
Sending you extra love and hugs. 💖💕❤️🤗 Joni
Thank you Jonikins! We all must be mindful of our thoughts and words. Thank you for the extra helping of love, I needed it today. Sending love and hugs in return! 💕💖🌹
Oh I am glad it was sent. I will be thinking and sending extra love all week long my friend. Hugs as well my kind friend. 🤗💕❤️🤗🤗Jonikins
well said, Brad. words matter. reminds me a bit of Cat Stevens song “The First Cut Is the Deepest”…
Thanks , Jim! Now that you mention that song it does seem to share the same sentiments. I appreciate your support and friendship!
it’s such a great song…
This poem shares words of wisdom. Of course, there are several human emotions which do not serve one good and the universe, nature gives us what we ask for. Your words spread positive learning to be a better version of self and move ahead in life and do good for self and others. Great work Bead 🙂
Thank you, my friend! I appreciate all your support and hope you got my email about your last post. It was superb!
I did not get your email Brad, but I will recheck. Thanks for your comment
In short it said that I thought your last piece was superb! Definitely some of your best writing as far as I am concerned. We can hash out the details when we talk next, but suffice it to say I thought it was masterful!
Thanks Brad, I think you are talking about entwined feelings and you know the idea about ball of twine came from a horror series I am watching that’s called 50 states of right. Of course is US-based show and I researched there a real ball of twine, a huge one in Kansas. I was like in awe, there is so much hidden marvel in US that I hope one day I get to visit and see
I would hope too that you would be able to see our country. Apart from what it looks like from the outside right now, it is truly a beautiful place and peoples.
Thanks Brad, maybe someday 🙂😊

Thank you, Omo!
