The power of the word is awesome
Expand horizons, said with passion
I heard birdsong in dream as anthem…
If dispute of the war been only phantom…
When we’re careful enough with word art…
Who knows... listen parable; when hopping
frogs were traveling, what happened:
two fell into the deep pit; although a group
was sadden,
“You-good as dead”, - they said them.
One – stopped, gave up the battle,
another kept, heart pounding, the
hopping.
When a frog made out, a group tried to
fathom:
“Have you been listening to us?”
“I’m deaf, thanks for empowerment”, -
was answer.

This is very cool. The deaf frog was able to keep his belief since he couldnt hear the nay-sayers. This is a very wise parable. I love it.
ReplyDeletefaith is important in surviving life's unexpected sadness.
ReplyDeletevery wise words..
ReplyDeleteHow important it is to believe in oneself, then all things are possible.
ReplyDeleteSomething deep is going on here, something I can't quite name, for parables don't yield their fruit easily.

Thanks for words, Magical....
DeleteThe powr of wrds can sure go far, creating much and not always good
ReplyDeleteOne – stopped, gave up the battle,
ReplyDeleteanother kept, heart pounding, the hopping.
Some give up mid-way but a few soldier on. That is a clear picture of humans who react on seeing barriers to their desires. Great lines humbird!

ReplyDeleteHaha this is great.....sometimes what we see as our biggest liabilities can actually end up being our greatest assets!!
