Our Brightest Light (Restored)

A Poem by Amanda Crandall
"

I wanted to get these reviews up for Luna's viewing pleasure.

"

The man of a thousand voices
Each sings a different tune
Each note precious and unique
No word casually strewn

You have given life to shadows
And in all of us, so much more
Cowboys, Knights, Angels, and Goddesses
Despite the tainted self reflections
we seem to adore

You have shown us your tribulations
With such beautiful, modest grace
Each visit to your realm teaches us more
That there are places in the stars
where we can take our place

You have never breached your character
Or stabbed the cat to save the dove
You taught me to trust the flow of my pen
And what God meant when he said
to your neighbor give your love

You have given me the courage
To leave the past behind
Robert, your words are the salve
To ease my troubled mind

Wow MMM. I am at a lost for words and you know that never happens. LOL First of all THANK YOU. I am completely flattered by this, this beautiful piece of art. You are such an amazing writer and inspiration to me continuously. I have never had anyone ever write anything about me. I am truly humbled by the words you say about me. To know I made an effect on someone is the greatest gift that I could ever receive. Thank you for your friendship and wonderful words of praise.

This is such a wonderful piece that pays tribute to the past, reflecting of the souls that come and gone. I especially like the dedication to Robert�how he taught you to trust in your pen and God. What a touching piece, Humbling. Nice write Amanda

This is a fascinating and heartfelt tribute. For a moment I thought of Jesus, or maybe a famous Brazilian author, the saints and others. Your words reflect the universe too, so thank you for having faith in yourself. It was worth it. This poem solidifies plenty of what I have been trying to understand.

All the best.

What a wonderful tribute !! My favorite line is "Or stabbed the cat to save the dove." How ironic is that !! Thought provoking for sure.
