The Weather Vane

by Robin Ouzman Hislop — Read all 170 poems by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Sunday, December 21, 2003

so vulnerable
the spire weather vane,
the plague has been.

a compass warp
in kaleidoscope
spectrum, wrecker beacon,

ave chaos flocks,
where skies revolve,
over its vaulted arches.

now only the dead
bear witness for
the living to be born.

to haunt it again
with an inevitable
memory.

so frail the weather vane,
those who must follow,
its breast borne flight

threading their sign
onto dizzying vane,
where the ave swarm.

Excellent metaphor, Robin! Certainly turned us in its various directions. As God said, You neither see the wind coming or going, yet it is there. Much like we live while here. ~~Bonnie Q

"The Weather Vane" says it in multiple ways with sage lexicon of simplicity into a complex depicting to be seen-heard through reading with the eyes, - reading eyes - of learning.

HAPPY HEALTHY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

Perseverance and love form the greatest ammo of humankind, and the catalyzer of the chemical elements that generate the energy used by the doers when they drive the vehicle of success on the road to winners' city.

Drink the dews of happiness in the conclusion of your work.

May You enjoy a Memorable SEASON.
