  • “Praise” – Poetry

    “Praise” – Poetry

    Prayers of those who fight from the trenches Rescued on wings invisible And propelled forward with blinding speed Infinite creation bands together in a single voice Songs sung since ancient times Enemy of the darkness which seeks to claim our souls Poetry Copyright © 2021 by Ena Whiteraven   All rights reserved.

  • “Free-will (and Other Lies)” – Poetry

    A moving picture postcard, animated scenery, and dramas taken from the pages of a scripted comedy. What is it you see? Just what you expect: Material from Vaudeville and conveniences that lack All purpose, life, and passion – Set designs so cold and wooden. Who is there behind it? Who has fed the Beast? Who…

  • “I Walk With You” – Poetry

    Magical journeys through worlds unknown Hidden crevices and caverns Majestic peaks and shadowy depths All the wonders of Heaven and Earth Histories told only to a chosen few And dances taught by the stars Races of boundless creativity Peaceful streams and pleasant hills Spirits large and small Some innocent, some wise Some are treacherous and…

  • “Love” – Poetry

    “Love” – Poetry

    No blind infatuation nor momentary thrill Can touch the steadfast heart, The loyal truth that pulses To a starry drumming of infinite rhythm. Nothing can restrain it! Human words are meaningless, Falling on deaf ears that only seek the guidance of Heaven. A group of souls united In the exploration of worlds, They are the…

    “Eyes Wide” – Poetry

    Heritage replaced with agendas Unvarnished truth replaced with convenience Warmth and joy replaced with icy stares Growth replaced with competitive stagnation The proof, it screams! The eyes unveiled. Such a burden they often bear Minds filled with endless queries Scavenger hunts that last an eternity Ridiculed and cut down, yet they still persevere Their questions…

    “Blinded” – Poetry

    I passed by the open door, head shaking in awe At the petty grievances held, the loftiness of the up-turned nose, At the minds closed to all but grandeur. For some, it’s bathed in silk and velvet, For others, gashing wounds are a Divine right. Life without the love of Heaven is the truest state…

  • “Astaire and Rogers Divine” – Poetry

    He said, “Let there be light!” But was that all? Far from it… The Goddess and the God spin around and around Astaire and Rogers Divine To a celestial harmony Sung by Their Children infinitely. And as They part ways, in that empty space Is the memory of romance eternal They must dance the boundary…

  • “A Letter To the Foolish” – Poetry

    You treat Their Names with no respect And wonder why honor has left you You steal Their gifts given freely in love And wonder why famine destroys you You betray Their teachings, pervert Their signs And wonder why Tyranny rules you You mock Their images and grace And wonder why crime overwhelms you You burn…
