Useful Reflections

"useful reflections" as my mind wanders within darkness endurance sees me through to light I remind myself of where I want to be onward to a place greater than the sea unusual for some but perfect for me unveiled freedom opens my soul one thought one breath at a time I turn to the infinite sky enchanting elegancies fly by and my mind begins to sigh always when shadows follow extended is a feathery hand I stop to feel its rainfall only to prove life above all useful reflections stand tall SkyWatcher 10-08-21

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa and Shalom 3x. I saw the metaphor of SEA and said to myself, "Lisa has replaced the SEA." You did mightily marvelously more; SEA< SKY< HANDS: all here in this great contribution that glows (even if U start your poems sad, they rise as our Spirit - breath of God - do).

Interesting theme -- the sky as more expansive than the sea... and certainly it is. Kudos, Gershon

Good Morning Gershon - Thank you for your generous comments and for seeing the sea and sky connection. I happen do adore both. May we all have useful reflections in our daily lives. Enjoy the morning and day along with poetrysoup.
