the adventure
a poem

words flow from my pen
old patterns disrupted
love lost, gained and lost again
are we just tumbleweeds
rolling through life
or are there deeper seeds
of expectation to tie up loose ends
maybe something an ancestor left
a story that transcends
the bounds of time and space
history and mystery
of fate’s very embrace
for aren’t each of us just another thread
of a tapestry woven through centuries
an epic tale yet to be read
the story will never be fully written
each of us bearing pages to fill
with adventures unbidden
there is a plan, clues scattered along
buried in the subtle rhythm of creation
and sent to us on the wind, in a whisper of song
so dance among the stars above
and leave your grandchildren
a beautiful new chapter full of life and love
