    SUBTLE ARE THE SIGNS
    subtle are the signs
    for us that you have placed
    stepping stones of guidance
    and all are fairly spaced
    you tap us on the shoulder
    and slap us in the face
    to some your signs are bolder
    whatever may be the case
    not every picket fence implies
    a garden full of flowers
    neither a dark cloud signifies
    nurturing spring showers
    sometimes you leave an open door
    we fail the test and close it
    we want to waste time no more
    wondering why you would impose it
    you place mountains before us
    and let us climb them on our own
    if we slip you don’t implore us
    to mistakes you know we’re prone
    instead you sing words of wisdom
    because our human eyes are blind
    you’ll lead us to your kingdom
    with directions whispered in our minds
    subtle are the signs
    because you love us so
    your gentle hand of guidance
    to a life you want us to know

    This was an absolute pleasure to read, I loved (and agreed!) with all of it....."stepping stones of guidance/ and all are fairly spaced/ you tap us on the shoulder/ you slap us in the face" This really is a gem, I loved the flow of it all, and the rhyme scheme was great! thanks for sharing....

    Well done. Just a little reminder that the signs are there if we'd only look. TS

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
