Pondering

I wonder why the seasons loom
such brilliance of the easel plume
as butterfly goes flutter by
with pause of sigh to touch the sky
though flowers bloom. I wonder why?

I wonder why the seasons change
such brilliance of the color range
as summer sky turns winter wry
from bright to dark, then wet to dry
is all too strange. I wonder why?

I wonder why the seasons bring
such brilliance to the soul of things
as rock-a-bye nears time to die
I think that I might learn to fly
with angels wings. I wonder why?


-Lighthouse Bob

Bob, this was a most enjoyable read. I wonder too, but trust that God has given us a gift with all his majestic sights and sounds.

Blessings and hugs, Marti

(smiles) Oh Robert, I don't know why but this to me had a Descartes kind of thinking to me, like we ponder existence and believe even if all our senses are delusions, we still know we exist and that He must be what makes us al capable of existing and all the seasons and blessings! (big hugggsssssss) This is lovely, sweet friend, and I truly believe you can fly too, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Yes.. we all have our questions and we all ask why... but I believe that when we are changed in a twinkling of an eye that we will gain some more understanding. I really liked this poem.. beautiful form and images!!

Oh, make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never ever
Outlive my love for Thee

You ponder and wonder so well, Bob.
You are aware of God's beauty and wonder .... the mystery of life touches deeply.
