Alone

Just words.

                           Alone

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can frolic in the sea and  be sun-kissed by the sun,

we can dance and sing to the moon and the stars,

we can be brave and allow our heart to swell with love glory.

We will  learn the parting song one day and

we will be alone.

We must forget the harsh Winters days and remember,

the sunny Summer days where we knew laughter and love.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The old man near the sea was asked by the pretty poet.

What is true wealth? 

He raised his arms up to the sky and he told her.

The greatest wealth is your children,

to watch them grow like the tallest trees,

touching the clouds and the sun.

To watch them open their wings,

to learn to be brave and fly freely to their dreams.

Wealth and fancy items will one day,

teach you, you are alone with useless things.

The richest person had many friends, love near and

children at his feet.

Laughing and singing.

The old poet is a wise poet indeed. Beautifully penned and constructed like a fable, a life lesson. Our children are our riches, nothing more valuable than they. And we posses them to let them go and flower the earth someday. Your tone and your imparting of so much knowledge in your poetry is a true gift to us dear Coyote. When I first joined WC, you were the first poet I read and was inspired by. I am still reading, in awe of your work and of you. Thank you always my friend for your gift.

You are very kind dear Annette. Us, who love to write. We release words to paper and we hope. We can help someone, somewhere. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

Beautifully spoken are the words of this poem, enjoyable read. Life blooms in the eyes of the young. Wish we never grew old.

Me too dear friend. With my grandchildren near. I can feel young still and thank you for reading and the comment my friend.

Really enjoyed this, the flow is excellent. Children are indeed the wealth of this world. Stuff is just stuff... but watching life bloom is everything.
