The Old Windmill

The windmill stands as a reminder
Of days gone by long ago
It now stands sentinel guard duty
Over a desolate land
Impartial in its heightened presence
No set opinion does it offer up
Is totally driven by the wind
No source of energy all its own
What function does it provide
Perhaps only a silhouette against the sunset sky
On a proper windy day
It could provide some power and purpose
Its function has now been resurrected
A commercial use has been found
To provide a renewed source of energy
For which the windmill knew its role all along
Funny how things can be old and discarded
Until a rediscovery resurrects them for a function to serve
It seems we waste a lot of time
Being an old squeaking windmill on some deserted farm
Possibly we need to draw more attention to our self
However important we can still draw water from the well
There is still a function that we can provide
Maybe we all have a windmill down deep inside
What direction will we go with our life
all we need is to provide the power
Where will the breeze take us
Or are we just a loner on a deserted plain

Wow, this is great!
I'm glad u told the story about when it was written. That makes it even more intrigeing, mistical, powerfull and definently a masterpeice that we all need to read daily.
If u think back I bet that someone u luved and had confidene that's gone on and passed, you'll probanly realize that they were giving u the message.
As I said very, very, very powerfull masterpeice.
luv, huggs, smiles,

Much like the windmill, the words were there all along, Terry. When your spirit was moved by the "wind" it knew what to do, say, and write. The tears were very justified and well earned. Sometimes it is those writes that are allowed to simply flow from mind to pen with no second thought or guess as to their meaning, that will amaze us the most. I am indeed amazed.
