Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is free will.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .
A philosophical poem about the hard fact that fortune owes one nothing:
Fortune is a favor to be earned.
One's will is like a wind on weathered stone.
Remnants of one's dreams lie all around,
The leaves that nourish well the fertile ground,
Uniting the imagined with the known.
Neither slave nor free, nor blessed nor spurned,
Each borrows life and must repay the loan.
