~ Words on the Wind ~

 

Your thoughts pour out on paper

as if sand shifting on a shore

grabbing a word to build on

as others remain obscure

within your mind

they ebb and flow as predictable as tides

while ideas like channel markers

guide you to where they hide

words cast upon the winds

ones tossed around before

as age and wisdom whispers

will there be more

when the winds blow in

and stars go blind

as darkness wraps you within

will the winds remember

the words you left behind

will there be more
when the winds blow in
and stars go blind
as darkness wraps you within
will the winds remember
the words you left behind

A lot of pathos here--makes you wonder what it is all about.

Carole, "Words on the Wind" is absolutely beautiful. Your words, not like "words on the wind" are noticed and heard and appreciated. Beautifully well spoken words, indeed.

"words on the wind", concepts that are cast to the same fate as lines scribbled in the sand -- here for but a brief time, laid to waste by the next breath of stirring air -- memory exists only as long as it pleases the whims of the wind -- the next word like the next thought is never assured -- give thanks and scribe the word that is here and now -- your poem is haunting Carole -- asking one to contemplate,the here the now, the possibilities the future may hold for us -- a very creative poem written with a wonderful romantic flair -- Carole, thanks for sharing this wonderful poem with me -- peace and love my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Carole,
This is rich as good fruit cake but not heavy or stodgy, and I like in particular how the poem grows in intensity and depth as it unfolds and ends wonderfully, those two great last lines. Kudos!

"while ideas like channel markers guide you to where they hide" lines such as this in your work bring out the romantic in all us who were once sailors or just loved the sea. The ocean is romance and you captured that theme well amid crisp but cool images, well done Carole.

Sunset undertones in both the poem and the poet, perhaps, evening will come with velvet shadows.

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
