The Way of the Wind

Symbols ride the wind like birds.
Shaped in heart and mind by words.
Distilled by earth and brine of sea.
And subtlety of times that be.

Formed by nature and by deed.
Adapted to the human need.
Sown into the soul of man
Until there goals a subtler plan.

They form a chain that links in facts.
In symbols of the new found acts.
It coats the sand into a pearl
And makes new luster to unfurl.

Then warn around the neck of pride
To steer the human in abide.
And stays until it loses rhyme
And then becomes another time.

So spread your wings and be a bird.
And write upon the wind your word.

====================================

So spread your wings and be a bird.
And write upon the wind your word.


============================

Thine rhymes are the wind whispers that brush my cheek ...
it will ever be your breezes that this moth seeks.
For each morn you write your name 'cross my sky ...
winds of change that turn this moth into a butterfly.

Oh Seymour! I became frightened when I couldn't find your poem on the first page! But, here you are!    This is such a beautiful write this morning. Takes my thought off of having to shovel the driveway - AGAIN. Your poetry is such a blessing each and everyday. Hot apple turnovers this morning? hugs, Chris

JM,
Then my buterfly, let us fly
Passed the why and into a sigh.
And there we'll sip raspberry tea
And sail the day on fantasy.

Nancy,
Morning hugs.

Earth Birdie,
I'll watch your words and symbols fly.
And whisper in the wind Oh My.

Sunshine,
Yes the bird of paradise.

Seymour, if only the birds of the air could talk...no telling what they would tell about, is it?


BTW, I'm late getting here this morning, too. I'm glad that I found you....

Hugs,
Ethel

Sy,

Birds or butterflies, your poetry always makes me 'high'....

I like these lines especially:

"It coats the sand into a pearl
and makes new luster to unfurl."

Love the whole poem, as usual.

Thank you, Hugs, Pat
