Spirit in the wind

A poem about learning and letting go

Each day, becoming my past

My awareness of knowledge

As I tune into

My courage to change

The negative constants

Of this journey; my life

Is nothing more or less

Then the beauty of sunshine

Each scent of flower I smell

As I walk the garden path

Brings me back to 

My natural state of being

It reminds me to let go

of my contempt and

hostility towards the world

It allows me to forgive

Each dewy tear brings release

As I  find comfort

In the perfect atmosphere

That mellows me to temperance

I know the road

That will take me home

The way to the skies

Is to follow the light

I enjoyed the poem.
"It reminds me to let go
of my contempt and
hostility towards the world
It allows me to forgive'
The above lines are true wisdom. Nature and a peaceful place allow us to find way to forgive and forget. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Sensitive and alluring and yet with a rather prfound message of our unity to everything beyond ourselves. A truly enjoyable read well composed and structured.

[Phantom Heart]

Lovely! Nature is the God... and it can make or break you. Like you sometimes I feel the same... to forget and forgive many things. I love this poem :)

Your poem reminds me of how the spirits within Nature change our behavior. It inspired me to write this tiny funny gift poem for you which you may keep as your own:

Each Day

Each day is a glass of wine
of a fine divine design
from the core of pure sunshine,

but this isn’t all that’s mine

Each night I enjoy moonshine
watching stars from the shoreline,
dozing off as I recline.

I'm glad that it inspired you because your poem is fantastic and I enjoyed it. It gave me a smile. :) It actually reminded me of when I went wine tasting. It was one of those perfect moments. The sky was clear, there was just enough breeze to blow dandelion puffs in the air. On occasion I have a cigar (if I wine taste) Thank you for reviewing and writing. I always appreciate your time.

You're welcome! I enjoy writing inspired feedback gift poems. They would never have been written but for the source poem that inspires them.
