WISDOM! 
MAY YOU DISCOVER IT 
IN TIME

February 13, 2014 - A Poem for Today




CON DOLORE

Small birds are frozen in the river:
Huddled in inadequate feathers 
              they are scattered upon the ice.
Unable to fly further against descending cold
They came down to rest upon the water.
Dark forces trapped both birds 
              and river in the night.
The frozen river is as helpless as they are.
You, who have wings, why should you perish?
Who seizes the pattern knows the reason.
