sea of change

weaving nothingness into loveliness

time dances to the rhythm of an hourglass

 

suddenly courageous souls blossom

into a bouquet of uncharted territory

writing tomorrow's mystery

 

now is the time to laugh and love

to drink a cup of mellow wine with me

 

time will shift her rhythm, my friend

‘tis then our seemingly drunken dreams

will sail gracefully through a sea of change

Amazing Lydie, love this one, reminds of that movie Unfaithful when he quotes from the book,
'It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends... Be happy for this moment... This moment is your life.' I don't recall who the author was but I was taken by that one, as I am your lovely poetry here. Brava!

[Lydia Shutter]

I believe that is an Omar Khayyam quote, Frieda....and, yes, the sentiment is the same. Thanks for the review. Lydi*

[Frieda P]

Oh thanks for the info, I would have found it myself but the connection here was wonky last night, had a heap of rain, always my pleasure Lydi, enjoy your Sunday my friend.

[Lydia Shutter]

wonky....love that word....so descriptive! I have been having trouble with WC this morning....difficult to get on the pages. Just got this from you now and it is Monday! So strange. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

We should rename the cafe 'wonky'....I hear you.

[Mark Heathcote]

I’ll raise a glass to your poetry Lydi all day long, but I do love your poems and merlot anyway. ;-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Mark. Lydi**

You create such a world of peace as a mystery of sea and fog approach... the enjoyment of the moment in the pause before the transformation. Now is the time.. yes.. the moment to share just before. Such a wondrous mood!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks very much, Craig. Lydi**

The first stanza tells how optimistic you are.You can write not only on romance but on all aspects of life.You are really one of the finest poets like neva flores and incidentally both of you belong to America

[Lydia Shutter]

I am humbled by your kind words! Thank you so much. You have made my day. Lydi**

'now is the time to laugh and love
to drink a cup of mellow wine with me'

I loved the opening, this is like fine wine to be enjoyed in small sips! a lot of wisdom here too, I dread that 'sea of change' but without it we never grow. fantastic.

[Lydia Shutter]

"Nothing is as constant as change." as Heraclitus said.....difficult to get through some changes, but learning to roll with the punches and enjoy every moment is the way to go. Thanks for the review! Lydi**

seemingly drunken dreams become sober realities...and often very good ones...

nothingness can change into loveliness...i really like that.

i like the idea, at least what i get...we can make something out of nothing.

[Lydia Shutter]

That is exactly what I meant, Jacob.....life is what you make it. Thank you for your review. Lydi**

[Desert Knave]

"... now is the time to laugh and love / to drink a cup of mellow wine with me". I feel like I have done just that, reading a beloved writer and letting the mellow sink in. A very tranquil write... melikes. ~Jim

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, my friend, if only we could share a cup of wine....or coffee....together. I hope you have a mellow evening. Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Lydi**

[Sanober]

I could not agree more, my friend. Why ruin the present by worrying about the future? So wonderfully said. All your writing finds a special place in my heart, Lydi. So eloquent and meaningful. I especially adore that last stanza.

[Lydia Shutter]

You hold a special place in my heart, sweet friend. I am so pleased you enjoyed my poem. Have a great evening. Lydi**

[Sheila Kline]

Splendid! I absolutely adore the way you can weave words into a poem that speaks volumes to the most beautiful sounds of a song as it turns with the hourglass, or laughs with you as you share a glass of mellow wine - however you say it, 'tis always just so dreamy, and flowing! As we laugh and love, let us sing a song of happiness today, as we know not what tomorrow may bring! Life may change in the blink of an eye!

[Lydia Shutter]

May you have reason to sing the song of happiness for many moons, Sheila! Thank you for the wonderful review. Lydi**

[shallimarRose]

dang forgot the points again.. lol 100/100

[Lydia Shutter]

:) thanks again....I am a happy poet!

[shallimarRose]

Love this Lydi.. "weaving nothingness into loveliness" This is what the poet does.
Sometimes I feel like that courageous bouquet and sometimes more like the insect that was trying to hold on. "Time to shift the Rhythm" I am all for that.. care to share your wine? Great piece. Rose

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, that is what we do....and you do it so well yourself, Rose. Thanks for the great review. Lydi**
