Tumbleweed

Poem Artwork

 Slipping, sliding, rolling
a mere tumbleweed through
this crazy ride called life

Bruised and battered
reassembled 
only to be shattered again

Humbling asking for a halt
only to find the ride
pick up speed

Build myself up
piece by piece to turn out
stronger than ever before

In trust I surrender, let go
reassured that this tumbleweed
will always find it's happy place

Spread my arms and let
the wind carry me forth
to adventures yet to be lived

Oh how I wish I could be as mobile as your poem would suggest. And that old song, "tumbling along with the tumbling tumbleweed." For some of those opportunities ahead might turn out to be very detrimental to me.

So I'm staying in, while venturing out into the ethernet to see if anyone also staying in can share our mutual desires and collaboration.

To me, your poem is very realistic and nevertheless uplifting because of the attitude that you put forth towards life. Thank you for sharing, Elisabeth. Love, peace, and best wishes,

Regis. 🙏🌷💚🌳🌲

Beautiful poem of a picture that looks a lot like my lanai. Does that
make us cousins?
