I pen words, creating my life story
leaving imprints, signature of my soul
verses in a field of morning glories
inscribing messages on birch skin scrolls
leaving imprints, signature of my soul
singing songs of the weeping willow
inscribing messages on birch skin scrolls
tucking intentions under my pillow
singing songs of the weeping willow
embracing light of a higher presence
tucking intentions under my pillow
lacing stars around the neck of heaven
embracing light of a higher presence
believing in mystic dragons; unseen
lacing stars around the neck of heaven
honoring creator for gifting dreams
believing in mystic dragons; unseen
following the beat of my inner drum
lacing stars around the neck of heaven
honoring creator for gifting dreams
following the beat of my inner drum
verses in a field of morning glories
honoring creator for gifting dreams
I pen words, creating my life story
author's note: Form used Pantoum
the inspiration for this poem came
from an unexpected oracle.
And keep on penning away, as step by step life comes your way. A neat form indeed too, like the repetition of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, Penning the wanderings of my mind.
DeleteWhat a wonderful Pantoum! Following the inner drum & honoring creator....the best way to live this life indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I haven't used this form in awhile and it seems to work with what I have to say.
Delete"tucking intentions under my pillow"
ReplyDeleteI imagine a little piece of paper on which are scribbled the words: "Joy and peace through the night."
I might try something like this, except that I toss and turn so much that the little piece of paper would probably soon be ground to dust!
haha - maybe put the intention in the pillowcase. Some nights are like that with tossing and turning.
DeleteLove the use of the form... and even more the belief in those dragons.
ReplyDeleteThank Bjorn, I do love those dragons..
DeleteThe imagery here is to absolutely die for!!💞 Love; "following the beat of my inner drum verses in a field of morning glories."💞
ReplyDeleteThanks Sanaa, that inner drum always knows the way.
DeleteLet the impressions of your soul echo through eternity. Writing is a wonderful way to do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert, may they be lasting impressions.
DeleteWow! I love the glorious imagery in this pantoum. Pantoums are my favourite form. This is exceptionally beautiful to read. Love the weeping willows and the morning glories. Our thanks to the oracle who inspired this poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry. Oracles come in strange and mysterious ways.
