Walk this path,
The gentle way,
Each step sufficient,
Come what may.
The years pass on,
Like clouds up high,
My curiosity
Will never die.
Ancient trees,
With roots so deep,
Our minds, in stillness,
Wisdom keep.
No final answer
Or truth to find,
Just fascination
And peace of mind.
It's in the questions
Softly spoken,
A deeper knowing
Is awoken.

What is a soul?
It's like electricity -
we don't really know what it is,
but it's a force that
can light a room.

Small is grand
And grand is small
The wisdom of life
Moves through it all.

I like your poem. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
A cruise ship departing, fully lit. A friend has just returned home after a cruise from Hawaii. I am not sure if she caught Covid or something else, and her ex mother in law was in the ship hospital with pneumonia. I don't think it was a great holiday for them, but there were some nice photos, especially of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
DeleteThe final stanza of your poem speaks to and for me.
ReplyDeleteA lot of words for wordless wednesday but your start poem is perfect again.
ReplyDeleteRay Charles captures the mystery and power of the soul beautifully—it's not something we can define, but we feel its presence in the warmth, energy, and light it brings into our lives.
ReplyDeleteLove your poem and Pixie's words.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Take care, have a great day!
Lovely sky! Cute Picie!

ReplyDeleteAnother great poem, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cloudia and Pixie, for your lovely poems here today. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIs that Pixie or a cousin in the penultimate picture?
ReplyDeleteYes! We stayed in Northern California for an extended period about 6 years ago and pixie had run of the yard under supervision. Although she never learned to like walking on grass and always preferred the deck or the rail. Yep, that's her checking out the waterfowl. Thank you so much for coming by Aloha!
DeleteLove the shot of Pixie meditating in her California hippy Zen days :) Your poem today made me think.
ReplyDeleteNice poem. Cute little lizard.
ReplyDeleteThanks friends. Your wonderful comments are sustenance to me. Aloha!
