The winds of time settling in one's own mind, Clarity of the past will dissipate, In the winds that blow you may be inclined, To find yourself standing there with your fate. Like the pollen in a flower, waiting, For life without yearning would be shallow, On thin ice we all find ourselves skating, We must treasure every moment, hallow. Soft bells will chime, a peaceful melody Serenity inside, accept a life Imperfect, yet with highs, with love, you see? It's how we are, all we can do is strive And washing over you are waves of calm The peace you find inside a soothing balm

I am struggling to keep up with posting reviews and poems. So busy at work these days. Loved this from you both, wish I knew who wrote what. An utterly charming sonnet. I have been trying my hand at sonnets these days as well and hope to post them soon.

Good Evening White Wolf. And yes Darren. Hi Penguin. To the both of you I say this is exceptional. Honestly. This is one that must be read out loud with emphasis and pauses between stanzas and thoughts. I can not put it in words, just know this has worth and value if you read back your words. So much of life is stated within them. Wonderful completely and entirely. Have a wonderful night White Wolf.

Your profound writing and deep philosophical thought makes me fear that the days of my status as a philosopher are numbered my dear frieds: WW and Darren, Darren and WW. A 7 to each!

Thanks Demetrios, and I do think the compliment is nice, but there's no greater philosopher than yourself :)
