somebody's dungeon

0 posted 2002-09-09 10:23 AM



I used to converse
with all of nature
sharing it's secrets
enjoying it's splendor.

Relating in kind
feeling it's pain
I could hear the renewal
in a soft Autumn rain.

What happened to the voices
that once eased my mind?
Why is it that now
I no longer find,

serenity in truth
shared by the world,
have I corrupted
the innocent girl,

who sheltered found comfort
in the whispers of life,
who lived within darkness
afraid of the light?

Please come back
bring nature to me
bring back the forest
and the voice of the sea.

Speak once more
in a language I know
I must hear the world
to face tomorrow.

Deep in the heart

Life's journey is filled with loopbacks and unpleasant feelings ... but it is, mostly, a great journey

This is a piece fraught with feeling and my heart meshed with yours for an instant

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Ah, the language whereof you speak, is one you, yourself, use so well!

Nature gives me so much comfort, peace, serenity, strength...I feel so connected 'twist Mother Earth and Father Sky and to everything in between!----It's a great way to recharge one's batteries and to put one's life into perspective. I enjoy my daily walks along the lake and through the woods. It sounds, to me, as though it has been a while since you may have done this. Sweet rose of white---nature's calling  you!

This poem has so much meaning for me.

The write and flow is a delight, this is a keeper.
