One Single Impression: Soul




From December 30, 2011
Draw the line
Raise the fence

Let the sun rise
The wind blow
The seasons change

Time passes through

What you draw
What you make
What you are

Let the sun rise
The wind blow
The seasons change

You are the time
That passes,
The line that blurs, 


You are the fence
That will

In time

Need mending.

Draw the line.

  6. Literally now; in Nebraska we took our snow fences down come spring when they weren't needed. They required less repair for another season's use that way. :)

    The Devil made me write that, Sandy. Sorry, ;)

  10. To me this speaks of not just soul, but also of time.;) Love the fence reflection in the sand that truly moves with time, just like a sun dial. And what better represents time, than sand.;)

  11. I really love this! The fence can be our soul, but the fence can also be our personal boundaries in life. This is one of my favorites so far today!

    This is a beautiful poem. Truly we do all need to have some mending occasionally. Great comparison.

  13. Ah, the soul needs the cycle of renewal, just as the seasons change and the fence needs mending.

  16. You are the time that passes the line that blurs.A heart-rendering
    phrase. This poem captures all that the soul is and hopes to be.
