Notes About The Poem

Scattered To The Wind

dreams
          then hope
                 leave

search
    through 
       jumbled draws
          crowded closets
                 and 
                     you won't find them

dreams
     put aside until, until later
                but hope hangs around
                                 someday, someday being said

then someday comes
            health gone
                arthritis comes
                       lingers, destroys

enthusiasm
         gets lost along the way
                   did someone else grab it
                               maybe it just scattered to the wind

Sara Kendrick December 5, 2023 at 5:16 AM Thank you, Joe, for the season's greetings. Yes, someday God will reign on earth like He does in some hearts today and at that time all our dreams will come true or if they were wrong dreams they won't matter. Sara K

Hiya Sharma December 4, 2023 at 11:30 PM Those somedays actually never come.. We only keep creating dreams but never taking actions to weave them in reality or many times our circumstances don't let us.. And then finally the hope & wishes get scattered to the wind.. I really like the design of this poem & how you've written this in such a captivating way.. Deeply resonating as well! When enthusiasm & desire fade, you've expressed this emotion so well! Sara Kendrick December 5, 2023 at 5:14 AM Thank you, Hiya for the visit and taking time to comment on my work. Sara

Jennifer Proxenos December 3, 2023 at 11:44 AM Getting old people say is not for sissys. so true I saw my mom shrivel away after two falls which resulted in huge bed sores, she was 84 years iof age when she passed. We all have our time and it will come but I Dont want to know when. my Dad did at 67 due to bronchial asthma. your poem is earth shaking almost a prophesy. So well written. I've been busy with Proto Personnel - have to cut myself in two! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Sara Kendrick December 3, 2023 at 4:42 PM Yes, Jennifer, getting old is not for sissies. I had COVID a little over 2 years ago and I have gone downhill since then and can't seem to get back to where I was before. I had the kind that effected my stomach with vomiting and diarrhea, and I am still plagued with episodes. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to comment. Sara K

Ink Empress December 3, 2023 at 4:39 AM I love how your words look like they are drifting in the wind too. And how your words flow explaining drying of dreams when challenges get in the way and when enthusiasm slowly fades. I can imagine the pain, and health issues can be disheartening dear sara. This will do well in brians contest i think, sending you light always dear sara Sara Kendrick December 3, 2023 at 7:35 AM Thank you, IE. I can't remember if I entered it or not. Maybe it was another one that I entered. LOL..Your visit is uplifting. Sara

Silent One December 3, 2023 at 4:02 AM A very creative way to do your verse poem.. I think we all think and worry about our age and how we will be in the future and you have captured that in your poem.. Sara Kendrick December 3, 2023 at 4:13 AM SO, aging is hard, scary, and definitely undisciplined. We do not know what the future holds but we know who holds the future. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K
