The Windmill Speaks

The Windmill Speaks

Canon Powershot A400; edited in Picnik

Generations have come and gone
Many winds have blown
Rain, snow, and storms of life
The windmill’s strength has shown

If it could talk
What would it say
About those
Who have passed on

If I’m quiet
So very quiet
Maybe I will hear…

“I lost count of the hours
they worked the fields around me
Night and day they toiled away
So a future you would see”

“Live the things you learned
Forgive the hurts long past
They gave the best they could
Now make their legacy last”

“The time to grieve is over
Be grateful that they gave
They left behind such blessings
No one can ever change”

    Lynn, this is deeply moving.

  • Lynn Moore replied

    Thank you Mary Ann. I don’t think the words do justice to what my heart was wanting to say…maybe sometimes there are not enough words or the right words to really speak the heart. This was my attempt and I’m so glad it spoke to you : )

    Love the vintage feel to this image, Lynn. But it’s also a little sad, too. The passing of a way of life hinted at by the rickety windmill. I show my age by admitting to have lived when these were used regularly in Iowa. : >D

  • Lynn Moore replied

    Thanks tps. I felt a bit sad putting it all together and yet I do feel more ready to let go of some things and live more fully. Thanks for checking in : ) I think you were fortunate to live during that time when things were simpler, but that’s just my opinion.

    Much too long since I visited your gallery. The windmill here has a heroic look, strong in aspect, perhaps getting fragile at the joints. A really memorable image.

  • Lynn Moore replied

    Thanks so much Peter. What a nice compliment!
