Cherished Whisper Calls

Every wilderness journey

Another footprint unknown

Tomorrow always uncertain

Turning over each heavy stone

 

Lost among daylight’s darkness

With every tentative step

Smallest ember of light’s beacon

Finding vacant cabin’s doorstep

 

Door’s rusted hinges swing free

Waiting, barely hanging on

Vivid memories gather now

Warmly colored with worn crayons

 

Bushel of thoughts now arrive

Rekindled glow from fireplace

Yesterday no longer frozen

Gentleness cradles weathered face

 

Surrounded in breathless peace

Slumber’s cherished whisper calls

Weariness at last overcomes

Cuddled under nightly dream’s shawl

Love Comes Alongside

In tomorrow’s shadows

Worry waits to jump out

Disappointment crashes in

Filling waves with doubt

 

Aspirations seem dashed

Sunrise seemingly locked

Yesterday not forgotten

Seeing future blocked

 

Breath of sorrow surrounds

Hope seen flowing away

Another storm standing tall

Searching through its gray

 

Dreams no longer brightened

Today’s voyage postponed

Been at this moment before

Feeling self disowned

 

Freedom shares patient heart

Journey no longer drowned

Faithful love comes alongside

Sailing homeward-bound

Carl Sandburg Quotes

Time is the coin of your life.  It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.  Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Yesterday is done.  Tomorrow never comes.  Today is here.  If you don’t know what to do, sit still and listen.  You may hear something.  Nobody knows.

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) was an American writer and journalist.  Many of his works centered around poetry (he preferred “free verse’) and writing biographies.  One of his most well-received biographies was about American President Abraham Lincoln.  He received three Pulitzer Prizes (two for poetry and one for his Lincoln biography).  Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois.

We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

H. G. (Herbert George) Wells (1866-1946) was a British novelist, journalist, and historian.  Many of his published works share a futuristic view, and this has earned him the distinction of being the “father of science fiction.”
