Spirits of days gone by pass this on for me
I need help to find my path perhaps my destiny
Others seem to know at birth what road to chose
I saunter along the road so dazed and confused
Whispers from the Holy Ghost reside within
Am I deaf or am I blind just not hearing him
Touches through the veil tickling my mind
Still I walk along this road wasting precious time
Here’s a dollar homeless one I wish I had more
Feed the stray cats in my bushes and front door
Sign petitions left and right never eating meat
Still all my intentions are very much incomplete
I wish to hide within the woods wasting all time
Lay upon the grass just watching clouds drift by
Smelling of the fresh drawn rain dancing all about
Still something is missing before my time runs out

Fabulous! Your words tell of a spiritual and believing person
This is the 2nd poem I've read of yours that feels much like my own voice & situation, it's almost uncanny! A terrific verse in style, rhyme and incredible impact. My own situation: I too do all these creative things yet, seem to go nowhere, feel like my life is wasted. I meditate yet feel like I'm deaf to the inner Voice - and I'm busy living sparse, feeding abandoned cats.... Well it goes on. But I can't put it into a poem like you...
I hope you come through your medical trial without a hitch.

A wonderful poem that captures life's purgatory midpoints where we wait for some great occurrence we think will fulfill our lives; yet, we must remember that everything we put into life is what we will get out of it. I rather love that meditative relaxation in the woods while I observe the world around me.
Sometimes many of us feel something is missing in our lives. Its hard to find the elusive dream. Eventually it happens for some and they find peace and solace with in and accept what is....Great poem.....M

These sentiments somehow feel very familiar to me, Theresa. Sometime when I close my eyes I can feel time flow past my face like a breeze. Thank you for sharing your gift. Love and best wishes,
I think this one captures the feeling of aging and life passing by so quickly. I often feel and it seems the older I get the more I feel that I am missing somthing but I just keep trying to do the best I can, that's all we can do.
Just keep on doing what you're doing; be still, and know that He is God. He will not give you more than you can bear: just trust in Him. :) Especially when He seems far removed and silent. Well done, my friend.
What a thought provoking write Theresa...you'll hear what your spirit wants when you mind is at rest. You'll awaken with a thought that you have no idea from whense it came. Follow it and you'll find your destiny. Love and hugs, Bonnie
This book is an autobiographical account of the lessons I learned about life and how I was able to apply them to inspire, motivate and empower others in my own work as a firefighter, as well in my daily life as a husband, a father and a man. When I w
She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
