Motionfull wonder,
Give way to the sands of time,
Forefill your destiny.


What I write and others read is your own experiance and perceptions.

Maria,
   Interesting work here, perhaps you should check spelling and syllable count though!

maria..i'm really liking this...but i have to admit, it had me chking my thesaurus with dennis...mind if i make a few suggestions??

perhaps:  motions of wonder
          give way to the sands of time
          fulfill your destiny
(last line still 1 syllable too many..but didnt want to chng it too much   ..could say: "claim your destiny"  or something?)

or does that change what you were trying to say??  this is how i read it..      
hugs, dg

Dennis, Dgvarner - I didnt see that, Thanks for pointing it out. And I like that last line "claim your destiny" I'm keeping it  

Kaile - Thanks, I think it is better too

Maria~
Your thoughts were beautiful ...
a little polish from a friend and now
They're GORGEOUS !

Motion of wonder
Give way to the sands of time
Claim your destiny


Keep writing them and perfecting them.
Haiku and Senryu and wonderfully artistic expressions.
