Clear and serene as the horizons awaken
Where dreams say goodbye and escape like a vapor
That has cultivated your soul this day to face
As stories planned and unknown begat time to trace
Like andante melodies where clouds sift the skies
Into the mist of daydreams so eager to fly
And catching impartiality with a smile
As you laugh at fading illusionary wiles
Yes these fantasies grow longer then regress
The sun fills your eyes like instinctual progress
As the customary habits done mindfully
In knowing awaiting are currents of the sea
And the wind in billowed sails is a joyful sight
For the world is a pearl when everything goes right
But journeys aren't forever like an open mind
Which desires one more day when all has passed by
Nothing is forsaken like joys that used to be
And the circle must finish beyond every dream
As foothills turn into mountains for you to climb
And you need no reminder for each step you find
For silently hardships you could not have pondered
Are waiting on this dusty trail you must wander
Without compassion as you etch stones of regret
And days aren't denied in sails the wind forgets
If you seek out raindrops misery will abide
And days will have suffering that you can not hide
Acceptance is a warmer friend that serves to tell
The many hidden talents of your wishing well

"Acceptance is a warmer friend that serves to tell" really got me. Acceptance was very difficult for me. Now I am much better at it and life is much smoother.
When I quit dreaming my life may as well be over.
Without dreams, I have nothing left
When I cant remember the smell of sweet Clover.
And days will have suffering that you can not hide"
Those 2 lines really struck me this morning. So very true.
Wonderfully thoughtful, flowing words from you today.
wonderful
But I do accept this thoughtful poem. Every line contains a hidden gem. This is one of my favorites: For the world is a pearl when everything goes right.

This quite lovely. and too true. You are quite gifted poet.
Did you do this on purpose? Every verse describes a different world. The sea. the mountains, the dusty road and so on.
What I truly love about your work is that its easy to read. The words just seem to flow. There's no jarring and no "what's he getting at here?"
Well done Mr Playful Bard. *grin*
it's nice to know the wind forgets...
wish i could forget sometimes...
Happy Thanksgiving...
Are you OK..
Are waiting on this dusty trail you must wander
Without compassion as you etch stones of regret
And days aren't denied in sails the wind forgets
In life there does come a point that looks like eternity .... nad just get worse ..and darkness empowers all and everything ... I also am not a person that loves winter ...but here in these verses I saw life's greater truth ..of unending winter that setles down in life sometimes ...great poem William ...
Hope you're well
Please get to feeling better and Have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.
