| Wind of History by Jacek Yerka |
Never, Never, Never
©2013 Susan Noyes Anderson
History is not
an open book.
Ofttimes, the gate swings
shut. Don't fret.
Few pillars stand
inviolate. Even the
best-laid blockade
crumbles.
So don't give up
no never, never, never...
(Or was that give in?)
You see? The winds of
history elude us, as
the words that ride them do.
But that's okay.
Take Churchill's car.
Jump in. Climb in.
Just get in; find
a way, a vehicle
to storm the castle,
as lord not vassal.
And then go sideways
d
o
w
n
arOund.
Record the whisperings.
Touch touchstones. Capture
one bright window.
Make it yours.
The past endures.

Or as Shakespeare put it, "Through indirections find directions out."
Love it..yes, never give up. It may be your voice that finds the past needs to be rewritten.
A beautiful poem. Delicious.
Fantastic. Especially:
"Capture
one bright window.
Make it yours."
Oh, YES.
This was a thought provoking poem; brilliant as usual. I think I tell you that your amazing all of the time and you truly are.
Blessings to you,Sue!
I like the message here!
wonderfully written!!!
The tradesmens entrance is usually mypreferred way in as well, thanks Sue
Still trying to capture one bright window, finding example in one who has. Nice one, Sue. rb
Thought provoking, as so much of what you write is.
When it comes to history, I often wonder how much we think is true is actually fact. We all believe what we want to believe and tend to ignore what doesn't fit in neatly.
A great message in your poem - don't give up hope!
Such inspiration. Much needed as well. Thank you.
Churchill's car...it is, indeed!
"The past endures.".....I like to think so. :)
I read your blog every day even though sometimes it takes me awhile to comment. Coming to your blog each day is like my daily slice of bread.
