Absolutely brilliant
You are such a creative writer, and I have enjoyed many of your entries. I am honoured you even noticed my poem the Fine Line. 10/10. Simply brilliant.

Indeed, we are all like the passing
stream. Yet, in every stream, comes
darkness. Where the light hits...
so to, does the darkness.
The pit is only round the next corner,
and waits for each one of us
Climb it, and emerge anew,
as Nature's Own
Butterfly
oh, i just loved those two paragraphs.
Perhaps that is the pain we feel when we are
being transformed so boldly that our insides
scream out as we feel ourselves pulled inside out,
to reveal a new creature of strong beauty!
well written dear brother, feast of a poem to
always keep close to our souls!

You never disappoint, Wayne Leon,
especially when you touch upon
the magical, mystical, mysterious
elements of life.

'It is
up to each and every one of us
to find that purpose'
touche Wayne!!!

What fantastic, uplifting words. When we all go through suffering, rather than sink, we can bear in mind that we do indeed have a purpose. That the black sky is indeed hiding a sunny day.

Life is life,
we live it, we breathe it.
Life is like the setting of the sun
and the rising of the moon
Life is like the wind that
you feel on your face
The whisper of the cool
night breeze, that tells you
that you are a part of something
Magical
A part of something Mystical
Life is like the passing
waters of a stream,
that ebb and flow,
this way and that
Take with both hands now
the opportunity afforded to you
wowmy love
Think not of death, but life
Live it
Breathe it
Consume it
with your very being.
For you, in all your Glory,
are indeed, Beauty
in this world....

Think not of death, but life
Live it
Breathe it

with your very being.

wow- nice- if life is still like this for you and it obviously is or you wouldn't be able to write like this- never take it for granted- savor it slowly and meaningfully so that it lasts your entire life through. You are very lucky and are very blessed.
Besides the content, this is an extremely well written poem as usual.
