I own a purpose
Within this life
I feel deepest when
My sonant sings.
Winds have howled,
My thoughts often left
Rationalized. What
Will tomorrow bring…
West winds reappear,
Command again,
I’m humbly listening.
Refuse the darkness when
It offers. Watch time take
What belongs to my soul,
And place it faithfully
Upon my willing shoulders.
I’ll continue to carry
my essence,
And give flight to the
Zephyr inside of me.

You know my general take on poetry but I’ll allow for wishing the alphabet were longer in this case.
Well done ma’am.

Refuse the darkness, give flight to the gentle motion within you – Audrey, this is a perfect final poem for your A to Z. After what was a challenging year or two, I’m so glad you’re facing forward.
And I love that independent red leaf. Related to the red-haired poet perhaps?

I appreciate you saying so, Shari. I liked this poem. Thought it ended things well and lent it’s way towards new. Yes, a challenging few years but here I am moving forward. Grateful for your support. Yes, the leaf is me, I think. Smiles
