Thumbs up Jane R Callanan's Inspirational Poetry

Janie's Hope
As the moon reflects the sun
Do you see the intensity of your love
Reflecting back from my face?

When you fix your eyes on mine
Do you see the jewels of a king
Bestowed upon one so ordinary?

That one as colorless as a servant
Could be made to overtake
The brilliance of the genteel!

What can be restored to you
Beyond the reflection of your heart
Which has made me transfigured?

Is to love you, alone
Enough laurel for your brow
To enchant your heart and grace?

Jane R Callanan


A Cry For Goodness
If I could bend to Love,
Though now uncertain of my fate,
Eternally cursing my freedom,
Would you afterward not veil me in dishonor?

To stand in the brightness
And give evidence of your loving
This veil keeps beyond my reach
A reverance bestowed upon another.

My soul stands longing
To merge with the one whose shadow,
The one whose every breath,
Keeps me entombed in disgrace.

I do not desire that I should continue
So hungry to be fed, by your grace;
Accepting another's cast off rinds
Given from your first fruits.

Say I again and again:
If I could bend to Love,
Eternally cursing my freedom,
Would you afterward not veil me in dishonor?

Jane Callanan


For Nicole
There was a child
Who strolled with me
Though long ago
In sun and light
?Till Seraphs came
To claim her hand
And change my day
Into my night.

While in the mirror
Oft I gaze
To see her face
Overlaid mine.
And on my knees
At night I hold
Her memory,
Her glint to shine.

And still I hear
(Within my soul)
The anguished weep
Of child alone.
The one who waits
And never grows
Until the day
I must go home.
