For What Have You Arrived upon This Shore

March 9, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is fate.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical number poem for someone who, like a seed, has been blown by the wind to a distant patch of ground.

For what have you arrived upon this shore?
In search of what did you once set your sail?
For you there always has been something more
That ought to for some greater good prevail.
Yet life so often tells a different tale.

So are we like seeds upon the wind,
Each planted where we fall by willing chance,
Vested in a fate we can’t rescind,
Enveloped in the soil of circumstance,
Now blooming, if we would, as passion grants.
