As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching the street below. I notice cars of many shapes and sizes and I wonder, do they know where they're going?
As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching the ducks on the pond. I notice how graceful they are and I wonder, do they really know when they're flying?
As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching the stream flow. I notice how peacful it is and I wonder, how does it know which way it must go?
As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching my thoughts. I notice how easily they form and I wonder, do I really know where I am going?
I just notices the world today. How colorful and lively it is, with its greens and blues, it's purples and reds. How fast and loud it can be, and then how slow and serene all in the same place.
I'm watching the road below me, I see all these people going back and forth, starting and stopping and I ask myself, "Self, do you think these people ever get a chance to stop? And if they do, do they notice the world? Do they see all the colors, shapes, and things, or are they still to busy?"
I've heard the saying 'I'll slow down when I'm dead' Do you think thats when they finally notice the world?

The answer to the question in thy words, I fear a sad one for so many. I must admit that on some physical levels, I do not know where I am going now. Where do I want to be in life, even a few months down the road? I had this answer before. Yet now I do not. I fear that this answer is similar for too many people in this world and for topics other that where do they want to go, or where are they going *in life*
From one keeper of the word to another, Thy words carry a mark of pure thought. Good work.
First of all I want to thank everyone for all the positive feedback. normally I'm very shy about sharing my poetry with people out side my "comfort group", but you guys make it easy.
Heres a new one. Its kinda cheesy, but Allan (my husband) said it was cute.
Simple
As the rain taps lightly on the roof, I am reminded of a simpler time in my life. A time before bills, jobs, kids, housework and husbands. A time when all I had to worry about was going to wear to school, did I pass my algebra test, does so and so like me, you know the "simple" things.
As I think about all these things I look at my husband as he plays on the computer and smile. He stops what he's doing, looks at me and asks "what are you grinning about?"
"Oh nothing much I was just thinking how simple my life is"
hopefully I will have a new poem on here once a week. I see a lot of people have at least been here. Please feel free to post a reply. It can be good or bad. I'm open to CONSTRUCTIVE opinions.
Thank you! May the Goddess and God bless you all! Blessed Be, *Celeste*
Love the poems, Celeste...especially "Simple". As I stated at the chat room; I have no poetic talent so I appreciate those who do. To be able to put into words your thoughts, feelings, and observations...that is a special blessing.
Merry Meet, Celeste... your poetry is delightfully refreshing to read. Your husband is a wise man in praising you as his wife and in knowing good poetry when he sees it :)
I agree with Aaediwen, your poems show pure thought. I am no poet, so I have no constructive suggestions. Just want to say A Cool Breeze spoke to me. I tap into that wonder as well. And I like the way you wrote it in an easy conversational tone. It flows, it isn't work to read.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
Celeste, The Gods have Blessed you with wonderful Talent, Keep up the great work. Tell Allen he is a Blessed Man and has wisdom beyond his years. In perfect Love and Perfect Trust, Blessed Be, Angel
