sea of change

weaving nothingness into loveliness

time dances to the rhythm of an hourglass

 

suddenly courageous souls blossom

into a bouquet of uncharted territory

writing tomorrow's mystery

 

now is the time to laugh and love

to drink a cup of mellow wine with me

 

time will shift her rhythm, my friend

‘tis then our seemingly drunken dreams

will sail gracefully through a sea of change

Amazing Lydie, love this one, reminds of that movie Unfaithful when he quotes from the book,
'It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends... Be happy for this moment... This moment is your life.' I don't recall who the author was but I was taken by that one, as I am your lovely poetry here. Brava!

[Lydia Shutter]

I believe that is an Omar Khayyam quote, Frieda....and, yes, the sentiment is the same. Thanks for the review. Lydi*

[Frieda P]

Oh thanks for the info, I would have found it myself but the connection here was wonky last night, had a heap of rain, always my pleasure Lydi, enjoy your Sunday my friend.

[Lydia Shutter]

wonky....love that word....so descriptive! I have been having trouble with WC this morning....difficult to get on the pages. Just got this from you now and it is Monday! So strange. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

We should rename the cafe 'wonky'....I hear you.

I enjoyed your use of metaphors here. Time is dancing to the rhythm of the hourglass as the Fates are weaving yet uncharted patterns of events where courageous souls blossom on calm seas of change, but they drink wine so their dreams may sail gracefully through approaching storms as well.

Such a lovely soft voice this poem exudes with imagery that makes one sigh. This brings in everyone who reads it, like a welcoming to you life, your writing and you!
Beautiful.

The day dreams of youth can indeed become the vessels that carry us smoothly through life, Lydi. A very thoughtful and well crafted poem.

I really believe in this short and lyrically lucid piece, you have written something quite special. I finished reading with a Wow. The message and the 'seemingly 'effortless yet stylish way you deliver and ode Joie de vivre is enviable. I envy you and this. I keep thinking you should RR me so I don't have to wait to see in on the title page but I will subscribe instead. Really fantastic work, Lydi**

[Lydia Shutter]

Pryde, I hate to send out RR's because if I accept them, I get too many to keep up with. I try to read as many as I can every day. I really appreciate this great review. Thank you for subscribing to my work....you have touched me. Lydi**

[Pryde Foltz]

I get that. I am thinking of switching more to the Subscribe method, myself. I just hate when I miss out on a great write.

[Trace]

It's always so fun to read your poetry, or re-read those that I have enjoyed before. This is just as nice this time as before. Greatly enjoyed. Trace

[Lydia Shutter]

It is an honor for me to know you remember the oldies, Trace. Thank you so much. Lydi***
