Special People Deserve Special Love
Waking Up Is Hard To Do
Off in a sleep
So wonderful and peaceful
Like nothing else matters
Then we awake to a world of craziness
Always changing our life and the people all around us
We have to remember
This is happening simultaneously to everyone
With this energy I explore
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
Many times I am still trying to figure out yesterday
I do feel and believe we have to keep moving forward
Striving for the best we are capable of
Whatever that may be
There are no guidelines
There are rules
They are hidden and some are out in the open
We have to pick and choose which to follow
Which apply to our life where and when
Then we have to stretch the rules at certain times
Taking us out of our comfort zone
Finding us the inner joy
That can not be bought in any store or even on line
As hard to believe as it sounds
It is true
Letting our mind take us half way
We have to search our own heart
Going the rest of the way
We have learned so many things in so many books
Teaching us all about life
It is up to us to live this life
In our own direction with our own thoughts and feelings
Not following anyone else's path
We are on our own journey
We can tag along only for so long
Then we realize we have to part ways
As difficult as it may be
Life is always preparing us for this challenge
When people physically die we call it death
We don't call it rebirth
In society we pay tribute to the person we loved and cared about so much
With a wake and a funeral
Saying our last good byes to their body
All our experiences that we have shared are over
We must go on without that person or persons
Until we to leave this earth
I have never seen a wake that celebrated their welcome home
I would think it should be more like a graduation party
We all will get our chance
We just don't know when
So from the time we are born
We are coming one step closer to death
Yet we don't talk about it
Teach our children about it
We spend so much time in the living
We hint around what comes after
Like a party that is in darkness
Mixed feelings and each person only vaguely discusses their views
Because they don't really know
They don't want to be wrong
Well all my life people have been openly telling me how and where to do everything else
Why is this so different
So why not take the time now to discuss
Things not discussed
How many people have taught us things and only later we found out they were wrong
Now they aren't around to tell them
The opposite is true
I don't want to keep it a secret
Life is the most amazing thing I have ever felt
I wake up and body shakes with incredible joy
Every day I try to find a new way to express it
Like the wind
Sometimes fierce and powerful
Other times soft and gentle
Unpredictable
You never know when it is coming
You never know when it will stop
Appreciated non the less
I don't want to change it
I want to respect it
Feeling its enormous strength
Some people put it's power to great use
On this windy day
I listen and I am off for a walk in the wind
Why can't we all learn a lot from the wind ?

Gypsy Rose Lee Listen to the wind tell you a story. How each day begins and how every day changes ever so slightly. Giving us the wonders of nature to enjoy and share. Thank you so much for reading and caring.

I have always found the wind to be inspirational from a whistling to a singing to a howling wind.

Michael-Milec The greatest joy is the love shared by all. To be a small part of that makes the littlest things in life turn out to be the greatest feelings in life. Thank you for your wonderful comment. Blessings to you and your family.

A great challenge of a " special people ''. Sometimes it can be each of "us" - you, or me or next person, for love is inserted within us by the Creator. Since it is written "love your neighbor as yourself,"- we will continue to labor in love till the last day of our walk on this planet earth.
Lovely day.

Louise Powles The wind is only everything we need to survive. A portion of air brought to our attention. Sometimes things right under our nose are so quickly forgotten. Little reminders help me every day. Thank you for being the first to comment and as I write this the wind had gone away. To somewhere else where it is needed the most. Thank you Wind for blowing in my direction. On the next windy day I will put this hub on paper and let the wind sail it away.

That's another lovely poem. I agree with your last line - why can't we all learn a lot from the wind? Very true!
