Weather or not
I stand
I hold to my nature
I embrace her presence
Weather or not
She is swayed
And bent
And occasionally splintered
Because we all change form
Weather or not
We persevere
We keep trying
Though the general atmosphere
Is prying at our spirit
Let love reign to the last
Weather or not

Riders of the Tempest: The Story of WE
by H. Hennenburg
There is no “I”. There is no “you.” There is only WE. “Reality is in the possibilities,” and Riders of the Tempest is a quest for the heart of what can be.
This collection of poems by H. Hennenburg tells the story of WE. Born from Supernova, we bear the imprint of the universe: the mandate to expand. Gripped by a deep yearning, we march into a tempest…a great storm…a war between our desire to expand as individuals and our desire to expand into the truth of our oneness. We believe we are mere “echoes to the sea and gathering storm,” but there is more to the universe than what we see. We are “more than the caged experience of sight.” Endowed with an infinite stream of choices, what happens in our story if we reach for more?

Positive! But nature will fight back if we keep interfering with her…sadly.
True. And I am alive today. I hope today. I love today. Even if – perhaps more so because – tomorrow is not promised. Thank you, Thotpurge! ❤️
Yes, weather or not. Whether sunny skies or torrential rain, it’s all in how we approach the situation. Are we changed or do we remain the same.
Beautiful observation, Lori. Thank you!
I love the play on the words whether/weather, and the image of nature swayed, bent and occasionally splintered.
Thank you, Kim!
