Wrap Your Thoughts by Michael Close your eyes and wrap your thoughts around the distant mountain peaks. Feel the cold, search each crevice and remember its shape. Wrap thoughts around a forest. Can you feel the exhale of pure air? Yes, the forests have lungs. Is it no wonder that birds and squirrels build nests in those trees? Wrap your thougts around a mountain stream. Can you hear the music that it makes? It is the music of ages. Now wrap your thoughts around me. What is it that you feel? |

...what a refreshing insight on "wrapping"... "...don't ever stop loving, don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams..." |

You drew me in with the first stanza....I loved the different wrappings throughout the piece. It touched me. It makes me homesick for the mountains that I grew up with and have been away from for nearly two years now, in Alaska!! I liked the way you transitioned from one stanza to the next. It gradually became closer and more personal!! Me likes!!! Good piece!!!! This is the first poem of yours that I've read. Welcome!!

Another thing is that I also really liked how you took me into the forest and then to listen to the music of the stream. It makes me recall the wonderful times of being outdoors in nature what wonderful feelings!!!
