The Poetry of R.E. Slater: R.E. Slater - Expressing Love (a poem)

"Autobiographies of great nations are written in three manuscripts – a book of deeds, a book of words, and a book of art. Of the three, I would choose the latter as truest testimony." - Sir Kenneth Smith, Great Civilisations

"I must write each day without fail, not so much for the success of the work, as in order not to get out of my routine." - Leo Tolstoy

I have never believed that one should wait until one is inspired because I think the pleasures of not writing are so great that if you ever start indulging them you will never write again. - John Updike

"The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it." - J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations." - Lawrence Ferlinghetti

R.E. Slater - Expressing Love (a poem)

The quiet beauty of black-lit roses

Expressing Love

by R.E. Slater

From the fullness of the Father,

From the heart of the Son,

From the help of the Spirit,

Comes Love without end.

From the lips of broken hearts,

From the sufferings of torn lives,

From the tears of sin-stained souls,

Comes Love without end.

From the joys each day begets,

From the quiet support of friends,

From the many gifts of grace,

Comes Love without end.

Each day is a new beginning,

Each past a future promise,

Each yesterday my tomorrow,

To Love without end.

- R.E. Slater
