Earth Never Stops

As the wind blows, so passes the season
Never a moment to pause and explain
Sweeping away the purpose and reason
For life’s tribulations and inward pain

Not even moons and stars will embrace you
Steady their pathways across evening sky
Earth never stopsin midst of your sorrow
Just spinning the winds as the seasons go by

All that I see has a constant motion
Birds of the morning keep warbling songs
I could not harness sounds of the ocean
I cannot find where my sorrow belongs

Breezes of autumn have swept on past me
Storms of the winter will blow in the snows
Seems it is I who must seize the moments
Lingering silently next to a rose

CARPE DIEM .... a beautifully written piece to go with my morning tea.

"I cannot find where my sorrow belongs"

It's nice to know you can always leave some of it in here, where a perennial bed of roses resides.

(smiles) As Goethe says, "The right man is the one who seizes the moment!". Carpe Diem!!! Embrace each one of the seasons with a smile and let the breeze and the songbirds and the sun and colors all fill your hearts delight! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
