The Wind Knows

You'll see the truth when it comes in on the breeze Caught in the moving winds of time Old realities pass us by and we are suddenly ready for a sea - change Deep flagons of wine await us at journey's end let's move down the path with a jaunty air about us After all, we have just gained self knowledge Like the sun cutting through the clouds Our new songs will replace the tired old ones Drink deeply of the fruit of the vine Laughter is a friend we can count on

Sometimes as we sail on the "winds of time," we need to change direction. Indeed, "Our new songs will replace the tired old ones." Beautifully written and very intuitive message! Love, Carolyn

It is a real pleasure when someone goes to the trouble of laying out a narrative in order to please the eye. This narrative flows beautifully and has a lovely musical sound to it as well. The dominance of 'O' and 'U' sounds gives the poem a deep and mournful feel; adding a seriousness to the theme. It works well at all levels.

So lovely. You sense what the wind knows, and you have wise words for us all. Such a beautiful last line too. Love, Shar

That's great; it's light, lively, and metaphoric. Good job!
