Setting My Heart Free

Whenever I feel
down on my luck
I jump into
my old pickup truck
and take a slow ride
into the countryside;
where I can be alone
not far from home
where soothing winds blow
and the wild pigs roam,
where the bamboo trees
sing softly to me,
singing their song to
set my heart free.

Thank you James, this is a very fine poem with very accurate emotions. I wrote a poem that said something like that last year. Go seek it

The true life exists,
gulls which fished ,
I saw them this morning,
some swans accompanied them,
migratory birds of feelings,
a white egret too…
To look at them
took me away
from my thoughts,
yes the true life exists
in some kilometres
of the fermented human relationships…
I breath….
it is not exactly the same feelings and thoughts but you poem made me think of it.

regards

yann

Yo James,

Be careful of those wild pigs. I'd hate to see them get hold of you, and eat you up.

Have a nice truck ride.

James,

I like this one a lot. I love old pickup trucks and I would love to see bamboo trees.

We all need such a place... and while the settings might differ, it's the feeling that's important. *S*

I like this very much! *S*
