Once in a while the wind blows soft
To help your dreams to soar aloft
Life left behind by hearth and croft
In only once in a while

On winds of change the future's clear
And nurtures gift is ever near
I climb and to the future peer
But only once in a while

To soar above on eagle's wings
And hear the wishing through their rings
As rainbows beckon angel things
If only once in a while

To rise above without a doubt
And echo back as earth gives shout
To live and learn what hope's about
Yet only one in a while

For once in a while ere strength is gone
There comes Gods grace to carry on
If you can say thy will be done
Much more than once in a while



Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Keth,
Once in a while you come out with a treasure.

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of my souls song, as always you write with such skill and beauty I really found this excellent poem wonderful. The beauty of your words uplift a soul more than once in a while. Well done darling heart, exquisite writing. This poem contains some amazingly beautiful lines, the flow is utterly utterly divine, and I love it I truly do.

Oh how I wish I could write like this, I can hear your heart and soul lifting onto angels wings, this is seriously good. Wonderful writing absolutely wonderful

I wub you
Love and warm stuff
As always

I read the first verses thinking of how those "once in a while"s give us the strength for all the inbetweens... though sometimes it seems they're spaced entirely too far apart. *S* And then came your last verse with the source of strength. *S* This is lovely, Kethry. *S*

Oh Keth,
This is so excellent. The rhyme scheme, the images, the clincher at the end. A true poem. A wonder.
