Requiem For Lost Souls Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Requiem For Lost Souls

Rating: 5.0


Will I praise you
At time of death?
Will I see through
Your soulful eyes
World's blind justice?
Will I hear through
Your acute hearing
Dolphins' stirring song?
Will I smell through
A prolonged nose
Your damn worst lies?
Will I taste through
Such sorely mouth
Your food for thought?
Will I touch through
The grace of God
Immortal soul?

Very masterful, Richard. Reading this, I can hear the beat of Blondie's Island of Souls in the background. This verse is almost demanding a score.

I like writers searching for answers, delving for truths, and taking his readers along in his journey. Skillful and emotive imagery. And that title is perfect! ! ! Brought me to this poem like a homing bird- strength and power resounding in ever line. 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Iagreewith Bill Cantrellwhosays affirmingthings about ourpoems.Ifeltthese questioimns were addressedNOT just toone deceasedperson but tomany - awholesocietyiscalledtoaccount.Itseemsthatpeopple are overwhelmed by the lives we livenow.There are two passagesthat heldout hope: dolphin'ssongand God'sgrace.Thefirstisanatural thing.ofthe earth, butthe second-God'sgrace-is your poem'sascension giving us a divine vista we really need.
