I don't normally share this side of myself...

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Assurance Realty Ltd.

As a long time student of the written word I have always been fascinated by the art within poetry.  I am a Dusty Pilgrim just trying to make his way through this journey we all call life!  I term myself this as life will inevitably cause us to stumble and fall, it is essential to pick ourselves back up and "dust" ourselves off in order to continue on the journey.  There are times to write and there are times to just listen, I try to maintain that balance...

Have You Ever Stopped To Hear A Whisper?

Country Road

Sitting still beside life's highway,
The realization of a time forgotten.

Waiting to reclaim what was once lost,
Only to find that it was never really found.

Anticipating what next step to take,
The hurdle is clearly set in place.

Grasping for direction to a safer time,
Only to discover the truth...

The Whisper has spoken its terms!

 

 

Sincerely,

Jason Neumann

Nice poem. It reminds me of a passage in the Bible. "Be still and know I am God".

I would love to stop to hear a whisper but I'm too busy running away from all the people who are yelling -- LOL.

Jason that's lovely and I'm so glad that you shared it with us.  The photo was great too, is that something you took?  I have loved to dabble in poetry, but usually I just share it with my hubby.

Tammy - You are like me then when it comes to sharing poetry as it really is such a personal thing.  I find it to be medicine for the soul whenever I feel the inspiration, in terms of the photo I cannot take credit for it.  Thanks for the comment and happy blogging to you!

I especially liked the part of looking for something that was lost that we never really had in the first place. How profound.  (And I have 6 kids - a little peace is possible, although just a little!)

Jason, a bit of Buddhist philosophy perhaps - a time to just be still and be in the moment.  I really find this very touching and applaud you for sharing your poetry with us.  Keep on writing; I will look for more of it.
