Poem Artwork

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered. ~William Shakespeare


BREAKING THE WISHBONE

Wishbone, wishing well
To common sense we bid farewell
Fingers crossed, shooting stars
Magic glitters, from afar

Skip a stone across a pond
Count the ripples.....look beyond
Salt spilled upon the table
Knock on wood....believe in fables

Omens, criss cross time and space
The tried and true , we won't embrace
Some search for answers in the cards
Or hide behind the avant garde

Good luck charms around the neck
Are thought to grace us, and protect
Magical charms and incantations
Are held in awe and exaltation

To how much credence, can one give?
These crutches, that some need to live?
You cannot judge another's deeds.....
Give them the right....soothe their needs

The arcane and the esoteric
Have been around thru thin and thick
From ancient times up to today
When some feel lost upon their way

But...

At heart there is an inner voice......
To which we turn, as is our choice
Call it spirt, call it soul
Its the peace that makes us whole

I've never thought of myself as superstitious
but my dog, Patches has a birthmark on his muzzle between his nose and eyes, that looks like a dollar signe. I always rub it believing it will bring me luck and it likely would except that he finds it annoying so he's not wishing with me.

True happiness ascends above the boundaries of fortune for it is what we make of it in mind, heart and soul. I think you have the ticket. Beautiful work, Anita.
