Speak softly
Listen slowly
Believe truly
It will soon pass
Watch closely
As the winds weep
And the waters grieve
Upon the summers sleep
Whisper and sigh
Let your mind cry
Think upon things
Bring forth the hidden wings
Day and night
Shadows of light
Time and place
Full of wisdoms grace
For want of nothing
For need of something
For understanding and sight
Grant us the vision, be it right
With any amount time
For any amount of space
For any given moment
With every granted space
every moment
every treasure
every smile
every pleasure
These moments are cast
Placed in the past
For all shall soon pass
But memories,
they are what last
Just beautiful.
“whisper and sigh
let your mind cry…”
I have been doing all three – it is actually comforting and makes the thinking less painful.
The whole piece was absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you for writing it.

🙂 I agree. Memories do have a way of lasting. This is a beautiful piece of writing, it could be a song.
it is simply refreshing and entertaining!
So true Enreal, on some level, everything passes; on another, it remains constant. Depends what you believe in, no?
this is a wonderful poem Enreal….i especially like these lines:
Whisper and sigh
Let your mind cry
