The water sends ripples up my spine
as it cascades over the mountain side
blowing the winds of time,
where the sediment of layers are imbedded,
telling stories of historic times.
I absorb each message like a sponge,
and hear the whispers,
that impart wisdom from sages,
blowing the winds of time
as though they were standing by my side.
Truth never escapes us as we ride the winds of time
and climb the mountain treasures that erode one by one.
We are the same particles from which they came
blowing winds of time,
never the same, returning to ash
each one of us united,
where there is not time and space.
It’s been hot as bejesus here the last few days out of nowhere. Last night at 9 p.m. I went swimming in the pool and I wrote this piece. My husband said “let’s weed wack” and I said “no it’s gonna rain”. He said there was no way it would rain. Sure enough at 5 a.m. we had thunder and lots of rain and it’s raining on and off all day. YES! We are so in need of rain right now. The fires have been better in California this year finally! Soooo happy.
It’s all or nothing for all of us around the world. My heart goes out to those that are struggling with flooding!
Have a beautiful Wednesday!

Nice poem 🙂 I haven’t heard that song in awhile and always really liked it. Amy
I appreciate that.. I hadn’t either.💖
Thanks, Cindy. I’ve always loved Blowing in the Wind. It certainly takes me back to my college years. And your poem reflected my experience of nature and its messages about eternity. –Curt
You’re so welcome Curt and thanks for being here. Loved that song too. Glad you had some nostalgia here. That’s a great compliment from my nature loving wanderer. Thanks my friend!
💖💖
Wonderful
Thank you!! 💖
At first I thought you were writing a poem about my photo this week in WQW. It’s lovely and it really works.
Oh that’s so funny. It really does work.. I think that’s the one I loved the reflections of. We could use it there Marsha.. Thanks my friend. 💖💖
Aren’t reflections wonderful? I’m working on a book of poems based on my WQW themes and other things along with a photo for each poem.
OMG Cindy, the music marvelously complements your amazing poem. Did your hubby not look at the weather forecast??? LOL ⛈🌦🌩
I love this part:
We are the same particles from which they came
blowing winds of time,
never the same, returning to ash
each one of us united,
where there is not time and space.
What inspiration in a moment of time. Love this girl. As I look outside my window, a gentle breeze is blowing right now. Thanks for setting the mood my dear! 🌬🌙😍🌺🥰 Hugs and smooches! 😘💋😊
I know such a classic that song and I just fixed all of my spelling lol. It’s rolling like rawhide 😂😂😂 around here so I kept trying to add and update and screw up. Thanks for noticing what was working and your great comment my friend. Glad you enjoyed those lines.

Hahahahah I’m with you on that one. I don’t have time to go to the store to buy a ticket lol 😂
The layers of sediment in the rock and contemplating history is one thing I especially like about this poem, Cindy. <3 The genetic material that make us who we are is an inheritance from countless generations before us.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me Cheryl. I really appreciate it and you’re soooo right!! 💖💖💖
The sands of time hear no commands Cindy … love your visionary words … laying in bed ,using my iPad ..
Oh thanks so much Dear Ivor. love that and your kind visit!

“God bless us every one!” said Tiny Tim, the last of all. ~ A Christmas Carol.
Oh yes!!! 💖 🙏
Lovely poem, elucidating the paradox of space and time. I loved it. Ah, that rain must have felt good after the blistering heat. Have a gorgeous rest of your week, Cindy! 💖
Elated to hear you liked it Jeff! It sure did and the plants are sooo happy. I will and you do the same! 💖💖
“I absorbed each message like a sponge” I love the figure of speech used in this line – Simile. The overall poem was pleasant to read. Love it🙂
Thank you so much Chris. I’m thrilled you liked that metaphor and it’s great to see you! 💖💖🤗
Beautiful 👌❤
Thanks so much!! 💖💖
These extremes of heat and rain are frightening! My dad’s garden nearly caught fire the other day, and we are in the wettest part of Britain 😳 stay well and stay safe 💖
It really is Ingrid. First thing that always comes out of my mouth is oh no it’s earthquake weather.. Yikes. Oh that is really scary to almost have a fire!! Yes, stay safe as well!
💖🙏
Nicely done, and relatable. The heatwaves this summers have been terrifying, and we’re desperate for some rain. Please be safe, everyone!
Thanks so much Joyce and it truly has been crazy alright. Hope you get some too! 💖
A beautiful and well written poem!! ❤️😇
I appreciate that… thanks💖💖💖
What a beautiful poem, Cindy! We are the same particles from which they came…this resonates well with me. Beautifully written! In a country like India, we witness drought in some areas, while flood in other.
Oh Thank you dearly Kaushal. I’m happy you enjoyed this. It’s really something this climate change. hugs and love 🤗💖 💖💖
You’re more than welcome 😊💖💐
🤗👩❤️💋👨
This was a such an incredibly stunning poem. I loved every line of this beautiful masterpiece, dear Cindy!!
Thank you so much Jan. I’m so appreciative!! 💖💖💖
Such a powerful take on truth and time, Cindy! Loved ‘winds of time’ – that’s such lovely wording ❤️
Wonderful poetry 😀
Thanks truly!
💖
Thank you so very much Deepthy!!!
I appreciate it!
💖💖
Your poems always blow me away! 😉
What a lovely poem, Cindy! ♥
I’m glad you have rain there, it must be so relaxed after the fires and scorching heat.
I fell in love what that opening photo and again with your words! This poem is beautiful to read and the words just flow. <3
Attraction in words….Wow✨
Cindy, your choice of Peter, Paul, and Mary singing works so well with this post. Their music always seems to touch a heart.
A beautiful poem actually!!
Love it.
In my city, there’s a lot of rain.
Now we don’t need any more rain, haha.
I should send some.
When the winds blow, time flies, the heart chasing butterflies, catching the second wind! Lovely share!
👌❤️

[…] Winds of Time (a poem by a visitor here) […]
Great poem! Amazing how you have intuition about the rain. This summer, it didn’t rain at all. It rained once for 5 minutes only. It’s October 2nd and temperatures are still summer hot.
Thank you so much Sadje!!
We’ve barely had any either.. let’s hope for more.. we need it!!!❤️
[…] Winds of Time […]
Beautiful 💯
Thank you so much! 💗
You’re welcome 🤗
