Willed Poems - Poems about Willed

Think, willed by whom ye wield thy will

Ye miss O thou man in mindless vain mirth 
That every shade comes from His rainbow's range, 
Ye no more than copy Nature, no change,
The picture ye paint scarce depicts thy worth,  
Nor music—when His notes ye rearrange,
The mind ye use bestowed hast He at birth,
Not a miracle art thou ‘pon this Earth, 
A

Human Landscape

   Man the tall mountain,
    
    Protector to pose,

    Flexing of granite,

    Willed flesh to propose.


    Woman the valley,

    Soft curving flow,

    Stretching of lushness,

    Receiving to grow.

As Life Willed It

Hello friend, I want to know
how to share more in this life..
Measure success in smiles(?)
gets more complicated each day.

Should be so simple it seems. 
You try to bring happiness
you succeed or suck..
That's life, that's luck.

A secret I want you to know
well not really much
a secret, as such
I'll share it, and hope
you will too.

Just share what

The Iron Willed Elm

Mourning the holes in my canopy
Three Catalpa now
The Maple next door
My own Cedars
And the Pine that brought the Crossbills
But then there's the little Elm on my block
It's spine entwined with the iron fence
The house burnt down last year
The big old Maple brought down
I was warmed to see the little Elm survived
His burnt bits delicately removed
I

Mother

Mother


*yoruba edition*


'Better lose the saddle than the horse'.
Every mother's voice echo these 7 words 
To her child, not just out of love, 
Not entirely for love but for joy.
The joy of motherhood. 

This life will be hard for you 
Omo mi, sugbon yio dara fun e
She assures her young child.
Nitori ti omo ko ba ni

Independent Mama

Freely                
Acting
Without 
Asking
Making decisions for her family
Conferencing with no others who might

Willed Words

Soft you now– what visions rise from that phrase
which sounds of hushabies and winsome ways,
or conjures damsels in enduring plays
with celebrated scenes that e’er amaze!

One maiden proffered columbine and rue,
yet could not tender blooms of violet hue.
To take is not to give– still ‘twas not true
when twisted villain gave a ring to woo.

The walking shadows

Willed

but He hasn't gone very far away,
our loved ones linger still,
the wistful watcher this i say,
has love in his heart , until,
the coming end of days,
yet, togetherness is willed...

Strong Willed

I've been held back for far to long,
now it's time that I just move on.

I will try to make it on my own,
right now my future is still unknown.

I live every day in constant fear,
of what lies in store or troubles are near.

I have to be strong and hold my head high,
because so far in

Strong Willed

She's Strong Willed
as she holds back the tears

What had just happened
was one of her worst fears

She never thought
this day would come

The day she
would have to burry a loved one

Yet she carries herself
as if she's battling the cries

Even though the pain
inside still lies

She pushes it all
down so no one sees

That the hurt
puts her to her knees

She

Wilted and Willed

I'm lost, so lost,
Can't find my way
And the women there
Just point and wave.
Won't so much as
To try and help
This small, frightened person
Face the right path.

But I'm so lost,
Wanting to be found,
Hoping to find myself.
Just need a hint...
Anything is good enough!
Something has to give,
And I won't cave.
No matter the cost.

A leaf floats by
There is nothing else.
No

Complex Strong Willed Prince of Priorities

we get over everything
naturally
but the weak need the strong
need someone to lead the way
we need to find a strong mind
a smart mind to study 
an accurate mind to probe
and test our subject
and get our answers to heal ourselves

Strong minded intelligent child
just passed the test
handed in his test
they know whose mind is stronger than the rest
