The Callin’
It happened out back
Behind the summer kitchen
A cold wind from the North
Screamed like a Banshie
I heard my name
Some say
It was a “callin'”
To hear the call
Understand the meaning
The goal is to master the task
Faint words blow across the mesa
An invitation to create
To grow
To stretch
To share
The journey will be lonely
If you catch that train
Destination unknown
You will visit places
Walk streets
Beyond dreams
The seasons change
Mark time
The river crests
The passing years
Cast on the wind
You may keep nothing
For nothing is promised
You will march to your death
Head held high
And you will die
In the end
When asked
You will say
It was all worth it
Note: Congratulations and happy one hundred wordles!

Wow! “Head held high” indeed “it was worth it “! IMO one of your best among many beauties 🙂
ah…the road calls me often…sadly i have to let it pass at times as well…but what a journey it can be…
This leaves me feeling sad. There is some nobility and hope in your words, but the sadness pulls at me. You’ve created a strong tone in the piece.
A strong clear sense of reality, Annell. Many hear the callin’ but so many more don’t heed it and live lives often filled with regret, or of something gone missing, and simply can’t define it. Thank you,
Elizabeth

We all have a callin’ and finding it is the beauty of living. Well wordled. Is nice to have you with us at the whirl.

*It is*
It’s always worth it!
My word is it worth it…I just need more!
Yes, it may be lonely, but it definitely will be worth it……
It is special to hear your name called. I hope that part of your poem is true.
A victorious end head held high..that’s all any of us can hope to achieve perhaps..strong firm marching words..
Thank you for your comment. It is all that we can do. We will be determined, there will be many obstacles, but we won’t let them break us. Therefore we will be flexible, we will be water, we will be wind, and we will reach out and we will hold on. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529
