Again,I Am

I,
a daughter of oceans
held in the palm of mother earth
a being ignited with a fire
that wove a heart of the wind
lifting,
torn from pages
floated in the firmament
I was
----
I,
a whisper of echo
that was the call of sorrow
in a moments Ecstasy,
being all and nothing
floating
I,
a speck of dust
finding niche within earth
a sarcophagus made of crust
healed with time,
and budded
to life
-----
I am a daughter of the sea
held within the spirit of mother earth
a being ignited with a fire
that weaves a heart of wind
lifting,
to be rebound in all chapters
floating in the firmament ,
I am,
again

I am. Such powerful 2

I am. Such powerful 2 words. I am all and nothing. The beginning of true poetry. You are amazing, my darling daughter of the dance of 1000 veils. ~A and you forgot an apostrophe. ;-) "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha

And we have another winner! I love it! My favorite lines, are the lines that I think are the heart of the poem: I am a daughter of the sea held within the spirit of mother earth a being ignited with a fire that weaves a heart of wind lifting, to be rebound in all chapters floating in the firmament , I am again Remarkable beauty, that you are! Love, Cat

Pagan Rites!

Daughter of Mother Earth, I know where you go, and what you do. You worship at the altar of the Dragon, and bring the ketchup to the table! Older than all of organised religion, the Pagan Mother seeks the comfort of the Pagan Father. Sunrise brings the warmth and strength of the Father. Humans are the product of such a union. The tale is told over and over, in every religion. Fire and Earth. Love it! ~ Gee

That's what old Geezers do...

We look for the unusual, [we are so jaded] and we pick at it, until it gives up it's secrets. We have plenty of time, and insatiable curiosity. And I have a few dragon friends of my own! Yes, paper only it is...but the meaning underlying, the feeling of union. Is worth more than all the treasure in the world. ~ Love and higgest bugs, Gee

Dear Jayne-Chloe,

This poem is steeped in repetition, like a mantra to a rosary. Ritual repetitions or near repetitions have a feel of sacredness and calm, something that I think you have achieved here. I am constantly amazed at your fortitude Jayne-Chloe. Hig Bugs, Brian (I read it to Olya and she sends her bugs too)

Dear Brian and Olya

this poem started its life as a rhyme lol and I decided the theme was much too good to waste soo I rethought the process and over a couple of weeks I came up with this ... and I was trying to achieve a sense of calm ... thank you for looking at this one and I am sooo pleased you both like it ... and constantly grateful I met you both love and hugs Jayne x x x

i remember once a little voice

seeming timid in the fear of its' confines- those little momentary self doubts that prohibit- as if trapped within, beauty had no way to escape; as if inspiration belongs to others and may not be touched without permission. i remember your little voice, shyly wondering how you could be; alas! so you see ,see you say - you are~

Dear Rob

(hugz) thank you sooo much for that ... brought tears to my eyes ... and a much needed smile Love Jayne x x
