One is able to shake off the bad and don the new!

Such a wind that blows this evening Holding evil in its grip While its blood shot eyes scour beauty Drool is dripping down its lip Ice its feelings as its blowing Mindful of the moons pull strong Turns the tide the wind falls slashing Waves on rocks dashed all night long Tired the wind next morning calmness Sun shone gently on the shore Found some driftwood drool smeared on it Sun bleached painted by the door Friends who enter see this driftwood Painted gleeful colors it Spirit free from tossing waters Holding tightly its secret Jane Noponen Perinacci

I love driftwood, it can be made into so many new things & shapes, never realizing from whence it came or anything about its past life,

Driftwood can be so beautiful in its battered, dried-up way with so much symbolic imagery to be found here at the heart of your lovely poem.

I thought at first you were creating our movie. But then you found words from a slime that you saw on a driftwood. You painted the driftwood many colors. How sublime.

Totally agree ... off with the bad and don the new, and I enjoyed the way in which you have expressed this very important approach to life with the use of the wind, sea and driftwood.

At times, I feel like driftwood being carried this way and that. But every now and and then, I get painted in gleeful colors, and life begins anew. Loved the poem.

Love, love this beautiful poem, Jane . . .

You are absolutly correct, "One is able to shake off the bad and don the new!" It takes a strong heart to have this trait, but I know you have such a heart . . . Bless you, my friend.
