Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Uneasy Wind

As the dream 
           becomes a reality
  we are 
taken aback 
     by the strange new world 
we encounter for the first
     time
Old certainties being dead 
   we touch the burning bush 
for the fiirst time 
   We are not harmed 
The dismal past 
     becomes ashes 
as we toss our sorrow 
    into the wind 
Before nightfall 
   we will count the 
  blessings 
we have been granted
   Tomorrow the golden path 
will stretch before us 
   But tonight we just await 
That sleep which leads to 
   new dreams

Elizabeth Wesley October 15, 2011 at 3:40 PM Love the burning bush analogy, that we sometimes don't get burnt is a soothing thought.
