Setting Them Free

                My thoughts are cast upon the wind

                To intersect with people where they dare.

                Floating out like notes from a woodwind

                To the world as a gentle prayer.

5              To be picked up by others, twinned,

                Sent flowing out again to land elsewhere.

                I hope they will not be dimmed

                As they traverse the world midair.

                My poems, I cast you into cyberspace

10            Read by netizens I may never meet.

                My blog I use as a showcase

                Inspiring others to say, “No” to defeat.

                Take a chance and write your case

                Display your vast talents without conceit.

15            Each poem a flower in a vase

                To be admired by common and elite.

                My life is cast throughout the world.

                For good or bad I touch lives.

                And they touch others, all are enswirled

20            Into the grand waltzing dance of life.

                I want people to meet, hands uncurled,

                With no hidden agendas in their motives.

                I want people to enjoy the world

                Each and every day of their lives.
