the MIGHTY and the MEEK

Benign amongst
the chosen few like
a frightened shrew
we dwell beneath
you

Searching for a sign
but water won't
turn to wine while
the grape is on the vine

I know i don't have for ever
but still i take my time .

Things happening for a
reason like the beginning
or end of any season

Consequence of action altered
points of view , reality gets
us through.

Fantastic. Great pacing and

Fantastic. Great pacing and rhythm. A compelling introductory stanza to draw the reader in, and a poignant exit to guide the reader out.

Great philosophy of life, it's always there, unchanging, ever present, and new. Especially people at life's crossroads have a choice of signposts that may change and, at least, alter its little self, always for the better. Good write! Regards, Hugo.

Ziggy, marvelous poem on so

Ziggy, marvelous poem on so many levels. Reality is, but everyone has a say in it, eh? And like this poem, possibly a totally fresh view. Loved the lines about the grapes esp...although there's ice wine that is quite expensive. I'm glad I found it in spotlight, congrats for a fine poem. ~A
