Excellent I completely love your choice of words to get across a very simple understanding. I myself agree that there is always a plan and you will not see what it is if you keep repeating the past. Good job.

First let me say I don't think much of the piece of art the Author chose to present this very good poem. It is a very deep piece and one must think about this piece as a look at life it's self. Very good work

I believe it is called Predestination. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very enlightening read.

"Your life...." What you have written about is absolutely true. Your writing via your author notes are just as good and may even make an equally good poem. Well done.

don't let the past's persuasive talk,
come to steal your harvest's dream!

How true! And well written throughout. You are so right about not living in the past, for then you will miss those gems that we find put there for us to keep us going. :)

A lovely portrayal of the circle of life. It had a nice flow and meter with an intricate kaleidoscopic image to add to the expression depicted. One of my favorite songs of all time is 'Turn,Turn,Turn' by The Byrds. Extremely profound lyrics that have been around for centuries. You captured the essence of existence perfectly in the first line. Splendid metaphor.

Good alliteration --seek/spirit, search/seen, past's/persuasive, vision's/view.
For God has planted treasured gems,
where the naked eye can't view,
it's sown within your vision's view,
reap when the season's time is due! Everyone has an ability that can make them a success but they must recognize it and develop it

Life is like a cookout. You first put the raw food on the grille then cook and season until almost perfectly done. That is how life must be lived almost to perfection. Almost meaning God is the only Perfect one. I love the Song by Simon and Garfunkle "There is a Season" Which has the same verb age you have stated from Ecclesiastes.

Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you Debbie, for the comparison, a great review! I always write the poem first, then I try to find the scripture that suits, this one seems apt! There was couple of groups that based their song on these scriptures! Blessings, Roy.
