The Wind

Why would I yell into a canyon

that won’t echo back

Silence is silence is silence


Why would I raise a sail

without wind to fill


There reaches a point


I set my course

in the direction of the wind.

I suppose it's something like the Biblical suggestion that we do not cast pearls before swine. Not because they are "dirty" animals but because animals do not value pearls. It's not their fault, it's what they are. Anyway, I like this poem quite a lot and trust that you will continue on in the direction of the wind.

Well, true to my word, I read and thought about maybe two dozen (?) of your poems. I'm glad I did. I hope you are saving your work as you go along. It deserves saving, sharing, and revisiting.

Peace & Best Wishes

Silence is silence is silence

was an unexpected, but appreciated line. 3rd times a charm. I know someone already commented on it, but

why would i raise a sail
without wind to fill

touched me. It's true, no matter how hard we may try to push, push, push life forward, in the end, if the wind isn't there, why are we trying so hard?
Awesome poem

Thank you Aleysha. Thank you for the review that showed such an empathetic connection.

Anytime, my friend

I agree! I have been echoing into an empty canyon for awhile now, and I recently gave up. If someone doesn't want to be your friend, and you have to work relentlessly to get any connection, then it is time to charter your boat where the current is strong and the work is less, and the fun is more~!

The older I get the more I learn to just go with the flow.

Wonderfully written words. Simply stated with great depth. "Why would I raise a sail
without wind to fill... There reaches a point" great lines!

[Revery]

Thank you Sirrah. Nice to see you :)

[Emerald Seas]

Nice to see you too. I do especially like that new (old) avatar! heehee

A write with such devotion and respect for these precious aspects.
With so little you speak volume, and that is the essence of all...
Just a pearl of knowing all what matters, and what not...
Lovely my dear friend.

Thank you Elisa, such an honor to have a poet of your quality reading and making such compliments on my writing. :)

Hey listen my friend, if there is someone learning here it's me, from YOU and all the pearls you spread here. So thank you dear! :)

[Annie Wilthew]

I really love the loud attention grabber "yell into a canyon"! The thoughts are very interesting and inspiring. It actually made me think about all the energy and time I spend waiting on things that won't even happen.

Awesome poem!

[Revery]

Thanks you Annie, glad you could relate.

Lovely poignant write we set sail in hope I suppose and somtimes it rewards us and sometimes not.

[Revery]

Thank you moon, I am honored that you stopped by to read my work.

[Dr. Wood ?]

short, yet long enough....Simple yet clever...Great opening line that simply forces the reader to read on....Quite something

[Revery]

Thank you Sir.
