Lisa Ricci Poet Light Verse

Whispering Winds

"whispering winds"

rain falls where the sun must shine
moments and days cast their beauty

once upon a time it was said 
where there is good there is bad
where there is light there is darkness
there could not be one without the other

as you recall the once upon statement
turn painful into desirable
turn sombre into illumination
have the opposite be a state of mind

frosty strikes when warmth must blanket
these phases travel whispering winds

Paul Callus November 23, 2021 at 11:24 AM Life offers opposing visuals and emotions, Lisa, as you ably say in this poem. Life is a mixture of bittersweet, and we learn to accept and live with each different moment. ~ Warm regards // paul

Joseph P. DiMino May 25, 2021 at 10:21 AM It does seem to be the way of all humanity and its nature -- perhaps there can ever be sunshine, and its appreciation without an opposite to make us take notice. I think, sadly, we will always be what we declare. But I can always dream. Thought provoking poem, Lisa. Have a beautiful day! Lisa Ricci May 29, 2021 at 5:56 AM Good Morning Joe - It is very nice to meet you. I am so sorry for the late response to your most gracious and wonderful review. I appreciate your commentary and input on my entry and your thoughts have truth as well. May we all keep dreaming so we can endure. Thank you again. Never do I take visits or commentary for granted. Enjoy poetry and poetry soup. I look forward to turning to your page very soon.
