Persistence - Dec. 26, 2010



Persistence

What softly stirs your precious heart to breathe
Shakes your very existence
Listens to those winds that sing, you see
Brings blessings to you
In abundance

Does it echo in the words of every woman or man
Like pearls dropped in golden light
Give you wings of desire to swiftly fly to lands
Alter your own purpose
Stand and fight

Can it unbind your soul, bring you peaceful sleep
While your heart plays in the sun
Does it gently replace the dreams you keep
Even when they have been shattered
By everyone

If nothing stirs your precious heart to breathe
Shakes your very existence
Keep listening to those winds that sing, you see
Those blessing will come to you
With persistence

    Neva,

    I'm a great believer in the virtue of persistence. It interests me that you house it in such gentle imagery! Persistence is acting as a guard to allow such peace and loveliness.

    It is the standing and fighting I am weary of but I know if not me who, if not now when?

    I may not always comment but I do always read.

    Be Well.
