seasons come
and seasons go
and i am left behind,
to make some sort
of sense of it
my bearings so to find.

why must the world
forever turn
with it's constant motion,
e'er keeping us
off balance thus
tossed around life's ocean?

i'd like a sense
of constancy
more than a constant blur,
that where i've been
and where i go
of these, i can be sure.


so many the decisions
so dim
the guiding light,
how in the world
am i to choose
a path for me, that's right?

seasons come
and seasons go
i guess i'll take my time,
until life's dust
so settles down
and i can make make my life mine.

< !signature-->

I seek to be me-
and all I can be!

Dear Euclid; I quess it's ok to now reveal that you are my nephew. So, Aunt Ellie would like to say that this poem is very well written and quite lovely. You show a tremendous amount of wisdom for one so tender of years. I hope that as you mature you will continue to write, but then I suspect you are one of the few who will always remain young at heart! Love, Aunt Ellie

that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

I like this a lot.  The style's great and it flowed well.  My only questioin is about the third stanza.  In all of the other stanzas(well, really not the fifth either, but that's closer) the third and last lines rhyme, but in the third stanza they don't.  I still love the poem but I just thought I'd mention that I noticed that.  Nice writing

Thanks Aunt Ellie,
  But did you have to say that in front of all my friends???  

Thanks Lakewalker for your constructive criticism, I have change verse 3 up.  I hope it is better.

Excellent Euclid! I loved the rhythm in this piece ... very nice flow! You've vividly expressed emotions and thoughts I still ponder myself ... wonderful wording!  

Best wishes,

"i'd like a sense

that where i've been

Euclid,
  This is really good, a thoughtful observation of life and it's challenges. Well done!
