He was riding his bike;
and he rode it whither he would please-
the wind blew through his face....

Whither do they go?
High up to the mountain lake,
Wreathed in eternal snow....

As long as its not in the snow
My love is hot
But melts a lot
As soon as I can't feel my toe...

O willow,
weeping so free-
shading the stream unto
the
sea.
Hither,
O willow,
whisper to me-
the comings and goings
you see....

Wind
Blows
And yet
You know not
Whence it has now come
Or likewise, whither it soon goes.
So, also, is the Spirit in a man born again.

Home : come home

do not stay away

come to me and play

for I canst not bear

to mere whither here

another day without you.

O willow,
weeping so free-
shading the stream unto

O willow,
whisper to me-
the comings and goings

Holy cow, oh dear Lawd, sakes alive! 
Sometimes English can seem so contrived.
I’ve finally made sense
out of whither and whence,
but should monosyllabic have five?

While watching windswept willows weeping,
    Wild winter winds were wailing with woe
    Without words we wisely wondered why.
    Whither who would wander weather-wise.

my soul
like to a ship in a black storm
is driven, I know not whither

acted to the souls of donkeys
in a Winter night of smoke
Viola Tree and Cedric Hardwicke
still undamaged the glass of revenge...

Whither thou goest?
Thy wither showest.
Ruddy in pigment,
but a wee figment.
In bas relief,
exceedingly brief.

Oft' I've mused when the wind bloweth,

     From whence it cometh and whither it goeth!

Where are you going,
what will be
your end?
Will you tread
in others footsteps
or mark
the virgin sand.

Will you stop
from time to time,
to admire the view?
Maybe
just to reflect
awhile,on I, Me
and you....

I gaze in awe at skeins of geese in flight,

   Framed within the majestic moon at night!

       From whence they came I ponder

          And whither they go I wonder!

Rooted in rising aspirations
Left alone in a field of dread
Autumn glimpses of
Winter wind skies
Whither the harvest
of withering drive
Whether  twas worth it
To be so alive
Standing  silent
beside fruited seeds
Steadfastly set
in his ways...

Melting down onto kindly patterned brick 
Shifted from a grandfather hand slow.
A stone stands expressionless
Which makes him look more human
Three others unlike him perch atop one
Less like him
And anything green or living 
Seems to whither thither presence...

Whither Thou Goest

Face mask now styles covers all smiles test our trials,
Naught offer chance for love's advance into romance,
Time found we spare with those we share and often care,
As time march on all lives withdrawn from dusk till dawn.

Out of his mind
  lost all control
Whither his soul

Mad as can be
  completely insane
Whereto his brain

Garbled speech
  making no sense
Illogic dispensed  

Here he comes now
  staring off into space
Kindly greet him with grace…

He’s a card-carrying member
  of our crazy rat race...

Darkness surrounds me
Memories of days past haunt
Existence as known
Gathering dust seems
Little penance for my life
Service I performed
Should I just whither
Crumble my stance to the floor
Will I be rescued?

Each day I'm spreading
whither am I heading
in rains there are off shoots
I bear down, all enjoy my fruits
come under my shade ,relax beneath me
here set hive you bee
Ill soon blossom forth with flowers
ye birds make nests, ill shelter in showers
why is there so much smoke?
in these circumstances Ill choke....
