Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Soft Is My Destiny

Soft is my destiny, gentle
  Never rough, nor tough nor hard
Fresh as the daybreak, alive
  Diverted, the approaching storm

Happy landings now greet me, open arms
  Gone, the fearful take-offs, the turbulent flight
Soft is my destiny, gentle
  Safe in Love's arms, unharmed

Connie Marcum Wong May 8, 2019 at 9:01 PM This poem reminds me of my flying days and the chaos we had to deal with during bad weather Gershon. A tranquil ending! Lovely. ; ) xxoo Gershon Wolf May 8, 2019 at 9:14 PM Were you a pilot? … I think that somehow you are still piloting, Connie---navigating your way through early middle age... Am I right? (---Of course, I am. You can't possibly deny it and won't, will you?... a chuckle here). Peace and joy, Gershon
