Cool People

Bring blessings
like mountain breezes and well water
Soothe
as warm thoughts do
Heal
like spiritual energy
Conspire with the universe
to benefit a doubting world

Cling to confidences
like silence to stillness
Listen
when they need to be heard
Dedicate
purpose to words
Judge themselves
by integrity of life and love

Appreciate you
your dreams
Permeate
humanity with youthfulness
Inspire reachers
to unveil the richness
of God’s grace
Beauty-filled people

Mini-Analysis of Poetry

“Cool People” is about good people. It explores the richness of relationships that are right. Cool People are like a breath of fresh air and a cold drink of water (“like mountain breezes and well water”). They are pure and natural. Cool People make time for you when they need someone to take time for them (“listen when they need to be heard”). Instead of judging you, they judge themselves by the highest standards. Cool people are the fountain of youth.

Enjoying poetry has nothing to do with understanding everything. There is no right or wrong to the way the poem speaks to us. Poetry is accessible if we allow it to be.
