seasons – Simon's still stanza

Blossoms in Sight

Blossoms in sight

Covered by cloud

With a tinge of light

Inviting you to come

From winter

To spring

Where the birds will

Sing a song

As we long

For a moment of peace

Today.

Blossoms are a way

For us to hope.

Keep your post to below 500 words, as much as possible.

All we ask is you link to a human news story on your blog on the last Friday of each month, one that shows love, humanity, and brotherhood. Something like this news, about a man who only fosters terminally ill children.

Join us on the last Friday of each month in sharing news that warms the cockles of our heart. No story is too big or small, as long as it goes beyond religion and politics, into the core of humanity.

Place the WE ARE THE WORLD Badge on your sidebar, and help us spread the word on social media. Tweets, Facebook shares, G+ shares using the #WATWB hashtag through the month most welcome. More Blogfest signups mean more friends, love and light for all of us.

We’ll read and comment on each others’ posts, get to know each other better, and hopefully, make or renew some friendships with everyone who signs on as participants in the coming months.

Life Unfolds in Paradoxical Ways

Our life unfolds

In a paradoxical way,

Of light and shadow,

Of night and day,

Of invigorating acts,

Or a drudgery fray.

At times, we are glad,

At others, become sad.

Some days we feel lucid,

And others, going mad,

But the colours and shades,

And rhythms of days,

Are formative of us

In so many ways.

As we learn patience,

And some self-control,

We discover what gives life,

What exacts a toll.

We look on our lives

As admixture of things,

When our voice seems so flat,

When, on occasions, it sings.

I embrace now my life,

In its paradoxical way,

With light following night,

And shade following day.
