Here I write
Throw poetical wings to the breeze
Each day that passeth, offer thanks
For buoyant soul, and heart at ease

What strange narrowness of mind
is that ― to believe the things not
known better than which we know.
Let stronger muscle be that of will,
picture barren boughs without the
leaves ― Possess a heart that never
hardens. Go break blue crystals of
the sea. To sensible men, each day
is of reckoning ― blow wishes unto
hollow of trees.

Here I write
Throw poetical wings to the breeze
Each day that passeth, offer thanks
For buoyant soul, and heart at ease

    Your buoyant soul continues to balance and make up for the others. Great poem!

    Possess a heart that never
    hardens. Go break blue crystals of
    the sea.

    Those lines really did it for me. A heart that never hardens is a blessing indeed.

  3. Jae Rose says:

    Blowing wishes unto hollow trees is a magical image – and I am glad you are fully appreciating that state of mind – long may it last xo

    I love the traditional style of language, Sanaa. …..
    “What strange narrowness of mind
    is that ― to believe the things not
    known better than which we know” In my humble opinion, a really good poem.

  5. My favourite of your poems, Sanaa….I really love it! Especially the blowing of wishes into hollow trees…..and throwing poetical wings to the breeze!

  6. Thotpurge says:

    Cheers to the buoyant soul…

  7. Such beautiful and wise words, Sanaa. Loved reading the poem. It made me feel so positive 🙂

  8. Sumana Roy says:

    Most beautiful Sanaa, ” Go break blue crystals of / the sea. ” such beautiful image….

  9. Those are indeed attributes worth offering thanks for!

  10. Old Egg says:

    Hearts are best filled with love but that sadly is not the case in general, probably because profit sways minds away from benevolence. How lucky you are to have a heart at ease…hold on tight to it!

  11. Bjorn Rudberg says:

    The buoyant soul is a wonderful image… love the sense of the words and its meaning..

  12. panchali says:

    “Let stronger muscle be that of will,
    picture barren boughs without the
    leaves ― Possess a heart that never
    hardens. “—Oh, words of wisdom penned so eloquently! Fantastic piece….Sanaa!! Love this!

    magical and soothing 🙂

  14. I really like the structure of this poem, Sanaa, it has balance and perspective. I also love the way the language flows and, particularly, the lines:

    ‘picture barren boughs without the
    leaves ― Possess a heart that never
    hardens. Go break blue crystals of
    the sea’

    Much love,
