When I choose to connect with life my soul is filled with song. I laugh, I hope, I dream - I dance, I love, I long. Quiet breeze caresses my face and brings gentleness anew. Moonbeams rest upon my shoulders as a silken cape would do. The moon creates a soft glow upon my moist, warm skin. Sand becomes cool slippers to wrap my feet within. Stars glowing far overhead cast out a shine so bright, piercing through the deepest dark, pinpoints of brilliant light. Water lapping at my ankles, delightful, teasing play. When I reach out to the life force, I'm always touched this way. < !signature--> ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is....

I love the images you provide her, my favorite line is, "Sand becomes cool slippers to wrap my feet within." I can really feel that line as well as see myself doing it. Used to be a beach bum, maybe that helps. |

Ohhh how very beautiful,i like the way you speak of the moonbeams as a silver cape....that's very original.....a very peaceful enigmatic poem. i adore it. I love nature,and the night so this was really one i could get lost in. GREAT WORK  Swamp faeryie of the black lagoon And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

Certainly was a beautiful poem. You caught my attention with your opening line-"When I choose to connect with life..." We do all have that choice, don't we? I was waiting for the darker side to immerge and tell us what it's like when you choose not to connect with life. Another poem, perhaps? Enjoyed it.  |
