New Poem – be you…
Posted on Nov 13, 2012 in Blog feature, Recent Writing | 13 comments
Be you a babe in arms,
Newly flush with life,
An infant excited,
A lover who has never felt more alive.
However young and fresh faced
However delighted, dulled or weary,
The experience of age is in your every move,
Your every thought, your every instinct,
Each breath you take.
Imagine the storyboard of your life.
The inspirations and ecstasies,
The struggles and despair
And, just for a moment,
Gaze back and see a fluid pattern.
How the river of your life has twisted and turned
How it has gathered, coalesced
And how it nudges you still,
How it eases you gently forward.
Like the hands of the clock that shift so softly,
Though we can’t quite discern it,
Notice how your own golden harvest piles up,
And with it its tithe, both in its glory
And ultimately its tax upon you for life’s bequest.
Remember that everyday you still awake,
With good fortune and opportunity,
To the gathering warmth of a new day.
This is beautiful.
Love it!!
Thank you…..
All poems by Scott are so beautifully written that sometimes i think what should i say in praise. Inspirational most certainly!
“Remember that everyday you still awake,
With good fortune and opportunity,
To the gathering warmth of a new day.” These lines are so true, unfortunately, not everyone realizes their good fortune.
“A lover…storyboard…inspirations and ecstasies…And with it its tithe, both in its glory, and ultimately its tax upon you for life’s bequest.” Magnificent Melodies!
“Gaze back and see a fluid pattern”. personally I agree with you completely, Scott, and beautifully said!
We all make mistakes but, hey, who doesn’t?
Being able to admit you made them, that’s even more important, I think.
Scott,what a pure emotion you depicted in this poem. I like it.
Like those birds waiting for the first flight
I’m longing for a new start
Fly birds,oh,fly everywhere you want
I’m still longing for a new start!
Just like your butterflies in the sky – believe me, your potential is endless and your flowering certain! Thank you Mahnaz…
Beautifully done, Scott – very emotive, wise and touching. As always, greatly enjoyed and inspirational to me.
Scott, your poems personify optimism! They are so dynamic, so positive, that one can’t help but feel a new lease of life on reading them. What I admire about your writing is the infinite core of energy in your heart-from where your words must surely stem! A rare quality indeed!

Yes to awakening each day and remembering that we have the possibility to infuse it “With good fortune and opportunity” regardless of the circumstances or what happened yesterday. Lovely images here Scott.
