Let us follow destiny's song
through sun & moon's mystic eye
there's a world where we belong
sometimes angels get it wrong
lost souls in life, reflective sigh
let us follow destiny's song
opening hearts singing strong
pathway vivid, don't ask why
there's a world where we belong
can humankind learn to get along
heaven's tears turn to a steady cry
let us follow destiny's song
spellbound by a tuneful throng
changing winds, shadows mystify
there's a world where we belong
dreams sweetly string us along
mystical eye watches from high
let us follow destiny's song
there's a world where we belong
Thanks for visiting..
sometimes angels get it wrong...like that!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes angels get it wrong...
DeleteOoh, I love the way you just twisted the meaning by repeating it. Clever! Like, sometimes angels get it [by doing] wrong. OR, sometimes they "get it" (understand things) incorrectly.
DeleteHumans all getting along would only happen if aliens put us under some mind control lol
ReplyDeleteI don't see humankind getting along, it has been a battle since the beginning of mankind. Well, one can hope!
DeleteHope one can do for it to come true
Delete"through sun & moon's mystic eye
ReplyDeletethere's a world where we belong"
Love this. Absolutely. Let's make it happen.
Let it be so!
DeleteWhat form is this, Truedessa? I love the repeated lines......this is beautiful to read. Love the sun and moon's mystic eye.
ReplyDeleteThis is a villanelle, I thought it might work well for the subject matter as I wanted to stress my main idea.
DeleteI agree with sherry š the form itself lends a magical touch to the poem. Beautifully penned (as always) š
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Sanaa
Thank you Sanaa, I try..
DeleteThe world in which we belong sounded out and each time I read I thought differently about it - how perhaps we force ourselves to be something and someone in places where we don't truly belong.. I wonder..do we know when we find the right place.. Is it when we no longer need seek it?
ReplyDeleteI guess it could take on a couple of different meanings. I'll leave it up to you to decipher. Maybe, it is just about the journey in general.
DeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts Jae..
How I wish we could find the world in which we belong. And learn to keep it rather than trash it.
ReplyDeleteI too wish we would be a bit more respectful of the land, we are guests for a limited amount of time.
DeleteThis is like a song... up where we belong, that film I saw when I was young... maybe angels do get it wrong...
ReplyDeleteHi Bjorn, I do remember that song. Joe Cocker
DeleteLove lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
I wouldn't mind flying to that tune..
Well done! Well written. (This only means I liked it alot :)
ReplyDeleteZQ
Thank you so much ZQ (so glad you liked it) you made me smile :)
DeleteI liked the rhythm through out this piece, and the subject matter a good read.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julian, Can you strum a bit for me?
DeleteI am so honored...
ReplyDeleteThank you
You dreamed masterfully on this villanelle
Thanks Martin, I guess a dreamer will always dream ;)
DeleteCan human beings learn to get along? Sigh....I wish I could be optimistic about that. Your poem has a beautiful rhythm and flow, Truedessa. Lovely Sunday read.
ReplyDeleteMary, I don't know if they can learn to get along if we review the past, I would say no. Let us remain optimistic.
DeleteThe only good thing is that humans have been trying to wipe each other for millenia and haven't really succeeded. The greed and mess we are making of the planet however seems to suggest that somebody in charge has given up on us. I think that the reason dogs wag their tails is they are next to be top dog (as it were).
ReplyDeleteOld Egg, you a good point there as we are still here. The question remains who will be top dog?
DeleteAnother beautifully rendered piece. "sometimes angels get it wrong" - Wowzers ... what a layered and thought-provoking, and really: indelible line of poetry.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting and leaving your thoughts!
DeleteAngels may sometimes be wrong, but humans will probably never get along. I love the way this was all put together, and the message behind it. Definitely one of your best.
ReplyDelete(Oh, and thank you for checking out Lost and Found! That means a lot to us both)
Thanks, I am enjoying Lost and Found, may do a little review as it is a spookalicious read.
DeleteSuch a beautiful, lyrical flow to this. "Heaven's tears turn to a steady cry" is particularly poignant.
ReplyDeleteNick, thanks for visiting, perhaps the steady cry will bring release.
DeleteI do so hope that there's a world where we belong!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I don't know what more to say than that. Such a lovely flow and ambiance.
