The Power That Is
by Dawn Wilson
Friday, October 30, 2009
Rated "G" by the Author.

Expectant and impatient, like

the riot of fall color that

bursts forth from the trees.

 

Yet, wait…be still...

there is no sense

bargaining with the Powers

that Be…luckily, they aren’t

listening.

 

 Past affliction –

an excellent teacher –

stay steadfast and time will come,

when dreams are not mere thoughts,

but the substance that life is made from.

Amen! Well said, Dawn.

What a vivid description of the state of soul, Dawn. Very profound in its waiting for fulfillment. That last last stanza is a quote that ought to go on every 2010 calendar..........Jerry

You've been busy while I've been "away"! This is perhaps one of your all-time best in every sense. Indeed, I will be adding this to my library. The writing, style, message are absolutely wonderful. The last stanza, in particular, is brilliant.

The second stanza adds the conflict in this poem... showing the warring of the mind. I have to disagree with the line that says the powers that be aren't listening though... I believe they always listen, just that sometimes they laugh at our opinions of what we think ought to be... :~)

Dawn - This has a zen-like tone, especially the second stanza:

Yet, wait…be still...

there is no sense

bargaining with the Powers

that Be…luckily, they aren’t

listening.

Interesting. Reminded me of the film, What Dreams Are Made Of, or something like that, with Robin Williams. A bit spooky. I like this poem and where it ends up. Hugs, J'nia
