Breezes
Life is motion. Action begets action. Each step we take brings us closer to our destiny. In reality if we reflect back we are already at a destiny that has sprung from our past. Each step fulfills the destiny of the previous step. Steps...if you read my poems there is a theme throughout on steps taken. "let deeds not words be your adorning" is a good example of action over inaction. There is so much to do and not enough time to do it. Raising children, providing service to those who need it in a world of selfishness. Three words that ring around my head are selfishness to selflessness and selflessness to worthlessness.
By the way, if you ever want an interesting conversation, talk to me right after writing a poem. I seem to rhyme my conversations and it takes some effort to shake it off. It is somewhat reminiscent of Andre the Giant and Mandy Patenkin in The Princess Bride....."anyone want a peanut?" (you have to see the movie to understand this line).
Anyway, the poem follows...
BREEZES
Years have past and accustomed am i
To walking alone under His deep blue sky
Surrounded by the beauty of creation
Well aware of this source of elation
What greater joy can there be
To know His love for you and me
Though always there and replete
On its own ti's not complete
For in His wisdom did he create
The need for us to have a mate
While this is not for all to be
ti's for most, our destiny
so plying on that road of life
facing alone the ease and strife
watching for signposts to show the way
wondering where they would lead, day by day
One day while standing deep in thought
A breeze from the east did waft about
Perfumed and cool it did refresh
My attention caught, within enmeshed
Waves of discourse did that breeze bring
Together those voices began to sing
While the future is still undisclosed
There are few doors found fully closed
The breeze reminds that more is to come
To what end unknown will it become
For now the point that needs be taught
Is to take what comes, a gift, a thought
Upon that breeze that hope is brought
The breeze reminds that we are not alone
That He is there
And with great care
Has shown us how
To not despair
So for now what needs, to be done
Is to take that path
step by step
One by one

Dearest Shiidon,
I fully enjoy your blog, your stories, your poems. This poem is lovely and rings

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

So sweet. . . me thinks thy steps art bringing you closer to "the east." (Romeo and Juliet)
By the way, I have seen the light and YOU are the MAN! You have referenced my all time favorite movie, "the Princess Bride." You are a genius of good taste and rhyme.
Love, love, love, to you my dearest brother!
Aniela
