A Sign of Promise

poem by: James Farley
Written on Mar 24, 2018

When I look into your emerald eyes,
I sense a whole vast range of emotion,
Such that I am always caught with surprise,
And these cause one or another notion.

My whole being stands to nurture your dreams,
The core of who I am brings forth these words,
Support for you flows more constant than streams,
With heartsâ€™ joy as the singing of songbirds.

Oft, thereâ€™s a sign of promise in the sky,
These Irish eyes have seen many-a-time,
A gem - a bow - of colorful beauty up high,
May each you see remind this pledge in rhyme.

For now, think on this heart of mine and sense,
â€œIn the momentâ€ we shall experience.

It all begins with a twinge of desire Moves to the stirring of soul Set-off by a spark, the burning flame and fire Eventual magnitude, an unquenchable coal With one foot on the trail One foot in the clouds I plant my sticks in... Read more
