Wind verses Sun

The Wind and Sun - Fable

A traveler walking steady his path in life

from afar powerful wind and sun observed

weathered cloak protecting him from strife

facing  numerous trials he never swerved

Mighty wind blows, cold brushes raw skin

shaking off chills, pulling his cloak tighter

facing forceful element, determined  to win

thinking of her, harsh journey a bit lighter

Behind dark clouds,  sun peeks it's head

light warms soft flesh, loosening her cloak

sleeping under a tree, tulips bloom soft bed

thoughts of him, in gentle silence she woke

Eyes wide open, his silhouette comes in view

baring his soul slowly removing worn cloak

two reaching higher dreams vast sky of blue

freeing wild spirits, breaking yellow yoke

 

which  is a greater force the sun or the wind?

based on the fable "The Wind and the Sun"
moral: Kindness effects more than severity
I put my own spin on the fable..

Apartment To Let

Universal Studios Lot, Instagram by sessepien

Empty apartment filled with ghosts

she moved out in dark silence of night

he lived one flat up in an old brick stone

told her love was like riding a shiny  bike

once you have learned you'll never forget

in her loneliness she climbed iron stairs

by the window he smiled with delight

captivated he taught her all he knew

perfecting pedal strokes, building cadence

she longed to ride on streets of dreams

until, one warm day outside  her window

she saw him riding a bicycle built for two

smokey eyes she fled down the fire escape

she moved out in dark silence of night

knowing love was like riding a shiny bike

once you have  learned you'll never forget

Dreams like Pennies in a Jar

Under moonlit sky we go for a drive

radio playing, sitting side by side

shimmering stars, a few clouds in the night

weatherman said it would rain but,  he lied

love I give to you free, keep your wage

dreams like pennies in a jar I have saved

woven memories, stitched by hand I made

remove your mask, I long to see your face

lovingly we embrace, our wounds we nurse

healing, within our spiritual church

finding sweet bliss, to deny  would be worse

forgiveness,  deposits in our soul's purse

sighing, lightening life's load from our back

true love tattooed, we will remember that
