Some will soar high
fly higher above
enjoying the flight
moving around the fluffy cloud beside
while some shall remain
wriggle
still dreaming
and work shall be called; still in progress
at those moments
of silver sky
painting the sky
believe in those streaks
and continue to work
the scoreboard named them today
eventually other names shall appear
where perseverance shall make a mark
asking, why you started after all ?

Nice words spiller .. interesting words . Like your poem 🙂
Thanks dear Violet…
A small crowd of work in progress was mown down in Texas as you will know. Parents know why they started (why you started after all) but in their grief and those feeling totally disallusioned with what has become 'normal' the question takes on a new depth... why they started after all. A plea for a less painful existence in a world which has punished so cruelly and mindlessly.
That was the most sad thing that took place…shook the soul…innocent kids and their families, a stop in their beautiful lives….the acts of maniac….and thus the question why they started of all…very rightly said dear dusk, a plea for a less painful existence….
Brilliant!
(forgive me, dear Poet
if I rudely, yet favourably
compare your words
to one of my favourite poems
of all time:
from, 'A psalm of life'
by that Great Longfellow:
'In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, -- act in the living Present!'
'Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.')

It’s a great accomplishment to be compared to one of your favourite poetry…thanks for such kind praise…surely makes me elated….indeed the poetry “A Psalm of Life” by Longfellow is great and thanks for sharing such a beautiful poetry….and to be able to reach an iota of those lines is my privilege…thanks a lot dear Mek….

Bearing the thorns
Awaiting the bloom
Wonder when shall fruits laden around this corner
Thanks dear Andy
