A Life Of Gestures

the ins and outs of a day
ebb and flow
come and go
never stagnate, so
I revel in the ying and yang
the church bells' clang
recalling the phones that rang
my destiny

my destiny relies
in the sun that shall rise
in the logic of the wise
~ beauty of butterflies
and the touch on skin
that tells me I'm in
like with me
in all certainty

in all certainty
I shall persevere
that's why I am here
to become more clear
on the meaning of life
and why I strive
to survive
with shimmers of trust

in shimmering trust
in doing that which I must
the right and the just
as I must, as I must
to gain the trust
of one
of one that shines
in my mind, one is mine
one who is forever kind

one who is forever kind
in the reach, one of teach
as one must
on the meaning of life
in the logic of the wise
never stagnate, no
in the ebb and flow
as the ins
and the outs
come and go

a gesture, life

This piece sang to me in a slow rythmic
way...amazing work, I've not had the
pleasure of welcoming you to Passions and
ask your forgiveness in my delay. You have
the touch of a "weaver" and I look forward
to many more from your pen~

To find that inspiration, live that inner vision.

Well said.

this piece has a rhythm and flow - that almost surpasses its content - - I had to read twice -to sponge up all the wonder I felt - absolutely super poem LiW
