Patient Love

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Regardless of the years, the simple gifts come as a result of living one's life, not just putting up with its insistence on abandoning youth. To forgo love, is to abandon one’s humanness. Oh, how threatened we are. (Image Daily Mail)

Poem Artwork
Patient Love

To know of hummingbird stillness.
To feel the pine needle crunch beneath winter snows.
To hear the embracing stretch of pistils weeping.
To see infinite jest in cumulus billowing.
To touch a pebble beach strewn with one's caress for life…

Such becomes

The rebirth of childhood.
The wisdom of Life's carefree shovel and bucket.
The trust in nature's patient invitation.
The living life with love.

"To see infinite jest in cumulus billowing."

Another brilliant write, to add to your collection of brilliant writes, my friend. You bet, wordplay glorified.

Odin, there seems to be a pattern being developed in some of the recent poems posted that reflect a Zen like atmosphere, and that is the feeling I drew from your poem. I don't know if that is what you intended, but that is what I experienced, thank-you.

Cheers,
Dan
