A poem of gratitude #11:
Memories In An Elephant's Trunk by Michael Romani With gratitude I share my words While overhead there are flying birds Puzzling along these thoughts contemporary Wondering how much is too temporary Unlike elephants who read your soul Too much of our day to day is out of control As we have lost our way into our days Having lost touch with nature's ways Somewhere in a distant memory The stars shine over a nursery Where life can begin again And each honest hearts meets its friend Life brings its pleasant surprises Found in love and new sunrises As we walk a new path of seeing Comfortably deep within our being Sharing a picnic by an old waterhole Finding the wildness of wilderness that makes us whole Finding our way along as we reach to define All the possibilities we've yet to refine As long as an elephant's memory We have learned together how to be Falling stars whisper their miracles above And in these, we find our way to love Without change there'd be no butterflies Without this truth, we'd never realize That despite how much things rearrange We can still find the good in every change Always bravely moving forward and beyond The harder we hold on, the more we find it gone Nothing cannot keep for the passing of a night And world will become its better by morning's light (c) November 11, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
