Lost Property

My heart can't disguise
what I'm yearning for,
time for the giving
and I'm wanting more

Drifting of thought
to dreams in the night,
weaving to magical
I slide in starlight

Watching the wonders
of other worlds
soaking in memories
left to unfurl

Listened to melodies
streamed in the light,
broken dreamed fantasy
in the twilight

Cracks in the mirror
echo my soul,
something got lost
out in the cold

Searching for self
lost to the winds,
was it a dream
does good ever win ?

Crying a heart
bled in the fight,
sleep be blessing
this witches respite

Looked for hope
dropped to the seas,
swim to the bottom
lay peacefully

Resurfaced from depths
floated in hope,
these are the dreams
that help me to cope

Lost in the child crying in me
someday soon, be in wellness, shall we

As I read this I swear I could hear a melody. You ought to turn it into a song. I loved it all, so I can't pick out any favorite lines. For a lack of sleep, you sure do write mighty fine lines! Love, Cat

I must echo Cat here

Hey Jayne, I have to echo Cat's thoughts here this reads as a very insightful melody though i have to add to the fact, the rythm contained therein is perfect!!! and the last two lines offer the quietly spoken thought of hope that all will turn out well. For a sweet soul such as youself this can only come to pass!! Thank you for this it was a truly lovely read! Much love in script. Jill Mistakes happen, do not dwell on them, live them, mourn them and move on to better things. (PS: if that does not work eat lots and lots of chocolate)

That is the sweetest compliment you could give me I am a music teacher/singing teacher and I always love to have a nice flow in my words sometimes I wander away from these types of writes and try something different but these are me flowing in freeflowed rhyme .... Cant help it its just the way it comes out (hug) I am so happy that you all enjoyed this one I am always tentative putting them on and when people like them I am always amazed ... I have only been writing since march so I am new but that people are enjoying them ... that is the best gift of it all ... Much Love Jayne x x

This is truly channeled

This is truly *channeled* poetry, effortless truth from the heart, somewhere beyond the beyond.... lovely! ~A "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood." T. S. Eliot
