Poetry Friday - Inspiration

          At Imagine The PossibilitiesPoetry Friday is with Rose Cappelli HERE, sharing a poetry springtime post. The three wonderful poems she shared might make you impatient! Thanks, Rose, for hosting! 


        I've spent a fair amount of time in both Taos and Santa Fe in New Mexico. I've vacationed there, traveled with students there, and spent time at the Taos Pueblo. One visit in all those years, I discovered Nancy Wood, who wrote poetry and prose, married numerous times, and led an intriguing life in both New Mexico and Colorado, among other places. You can read her bio here if you are interested. 

        We are stretching toward April, poetry month, so I'd like to share one of Nancy's poems, one that is inspiring to me. I hope it will be for you, too!

The Old Man Born of Dreams
                                       by Nancy Wood

You must not be afraid to travel
       where there are no roads.
You must not give in to the darkness
       when there is no sign of light.
You must not be afraid to grow wings
       when you are tired of the ground.
        
                         read the rest here

This is a favorite book of mine by Nancy Wood, but there are numerous others you may enjoy!


Have a terrific weekend!
