You don’t have to correct the world
nor the billions of people.
The stars were placed long ago,
the weary moon constant in its track.
You just may have to let go
and give yourself
to the soft morning breeze
with its gentle hint of rain.

This really resonates with me. In these times, how refreshing to be reminded so eloquently to just breathe. Thanks for you!
This is eloquent, and very timely for me, as I’m sorting some deep questions. Thank you!
I let go…
Don…reminiscent of a Mary Oliver poem….”you don’t have to to crawl on your knees for a hundred feet repenting…”…”…wonderful.
Nature is spirits tranquilizer! Simple and sweet Don – accept that which I cannot change!
Thank you, Don! I FEEL the breeze, soft with moisture.
thank you Don – a peaceful restful presence. I roll over, lie still, think of your poem, listen to the morning rain, breathe deep the wet earth smells – no work today
Wonderfull poetry. I sent one of my poems to Michael Cecil and in his reply he sent “Morning Breeze”. So I have connected with your site now and your blessing words. Thank you!
Thank you for your beautiful poem. I trust you allow me
to introduce this poem in my FB translating into Korean.
To “let go and give yourself” IS the work – easier said than done, at all human levels. Good to have support in doing so!
