way poem #02: who knew the way

Frank Prem

he caught the cloud
that flew too low
turned it around
and sent it out that way

 

he paused the wind
by holding his hands
before his eyes
then reached out
to turn it aside that way

 

he bent down low
his eye reflected
in the pond
smoothed each wrinkle
with a hand
that swept away

 

the fish and he
knew the flow undisturbed
though tempest raged
and that nothing need tremble
when it knew the way

    Such food for thought in these interesting lines Frank - - I love the two final lines which sum up the depth of your chosen subject.

      Thank you Fay. The 'Way' poems adopted their own voice - wise and soothing. I find it interesting that the subject shapes itself in this way. Personally, I feel less wise and less assured.
