 The art of Jeffrey K. Bedrick A gypsy woman searches for a quiet hidden place A meadow cool, with babbling brook A tree to shade her face A place where time exists no more Where love and hope abound What she has lost in former times In that place will be found... The search could last forever, far beyond this mortal plane But dreams are what has held her Also helped to keep her sane And when the pain of truth cuts deep So deep she falls apart A need is borne, to search for peace to heal her shattered heart... A gypsy-woman, lost in time, will search her lifetime through To find the place she knows exists It's there within mind's view And as I spin this tale of rhyme A part of me takes flight To search the regions of my thoughts within my darkest nights... A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour! |

I'm sorry that I've never read your work before, this really was a treat. I absolutely love the flow you created, it reads through like a ballad even though you arranged the line breaks differently. I loved the flow, in fact, I almost got lost in the flow it was so impressive. The sentiments and feelings just flourish in the closing lines, I love how you brought the story into a personal message towards the end. I was reading "The Lyrical Ballads" today (I have been reading that a lot lately), and this poem reminds me of the style Wordsworth used to describe various characters and their surroundings, as well as his own response to the story he tells. You might want to check some of that out, a lot of Wordsworth's stuff is on the netpoets.net main page. It's quite similar to the style here. I'm putting this in my private library, and I certainly hope it makes the pages of Reflections. Excellent choice for submission. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

It's always good to see you here, my friend... Hello Nancy, and I'm so very glad that you enjoyed the essence of this particular piece. I was hoping that it's feelings would come through, and you helped me realise that it did. Thank you! Hello Noah, and you are really the special one, my lil brother! Your replies light up my screen, and put a smile on my face! Thank you, too... Hello Albert, and thank you so much! It's also nice to meet another new friend here, and I am sure that we will be sharing many more times together at this poetic table!

That was wonderful! *claps hands* A dream is but a dream, you can wake up. Reality is ultimate, and those who share it with us are far more important than anything we could remember, |
