Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is happiness.
Today’s poem is a number poem for someone who knows enough
to will the wind.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Forty-five finds fortune in her favor,
Old enough to know to will the wind.
Reason sees no reason to rescind
The choices that would lead to love she'd savor.
Yet there is much that she would leave behind.
For her there's joy in relishing life's flavor,
In being ready rather than resigned,
Vested in the play of heart and mind,
Embracing all the gifts that fortune gave her.
