a verse for each word


My list of 5:

What can you do with these?



1. solitude
2. growth
3. wisdom
4. imagination
5. transformation

--------
here goes... a verse for each word...

---------------

to look up and feel lost, alone or undone
drives home solitude making a difference
for the kindness within solitude reminds
that absence is full of sweet presence
to look up and feel lost, alone or undone

to winter the season of despair or great loss
allows dormant juices to gather for flow
where leaves once blew away growth arrives
with leaves, buds, flowers, fruit that thrives
to winter the season of despair or great loss

to watch as a child makes a mess of a chance
prompts recollection of self made circumstance
choices in hindsight show wisdom at play
look back and determine if wisdom came each day
to watch as a child makes a mess of a chance

concrete ideas seem a permanent barrier
thoughts overcome concentration gathers
then blocks are moved in imagination's wake
step back and let the mind work for your sake
concrete ideas seem a permanent barrier

stuck in a posture bringing cramp and pain
beginning with grace to uncover change
we are promised transformation as heirs
of faith in the Transformer that cares
stuck in a posture bringing cramp and pain

It reminds me of growing old, you tied those words into a life some how. It is really cool how I read your words
