Trust can breathe
in fate’s embrace
The way is clear
despite the fog
Broken wings
strive to fly
A steadfast soul
defies the storm
Such a will
refuses to fall
Truth calls out
resplendent, bold
Dreams see past
what cannot be

this brought tears to my eyes. very touching. beautiful as always.
Hopefully, they were tears of joy.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
This one is incredible. Really. I’m not often stirred by poetry – I can appreciate it as a craft, and I like listening to it more than reading it, usually, but this poem really made me feel something.
Wow. This totally makes my day! Thanks for the compliment – responses like this always inspire me to keep writing. I hope it stirred something wonderful and bright in you.
Your best poem, not kidding.
Wow. That means a lot coming from the best poet I know. Thank you!
Wow. No wonder you were flying high yesterday after posting that one. It resonates.
Thank you!
The words came out of nowhere and I’m so glad they did.
Beautifully crafted, but you do make it difficult to comment on what I liked best about it. I read the first two lines and though, oh my, these are already my favorite. Then I read the second two lines, and then they were, then I read the third…..
Thank you!
You always say the nicest things, (and that always sends me right back to my journal to write some more!). I wrote this in the middle of a wind storm and I like to think the words came to me by way of those lofty gales. 
It’s not often that I read poetry that speaks to my soul – and this poem certainly does. Just beautiful!!
Thank you!
I’m floored at how it seems to strike a cord with so many people. So glad it speaks to you, too!
