Element Number Eight


Pixabay


breathe in, breathe out
element #8  keeps me alive
it's called the "breath of life"

fishing in the waters of my
imagination,  I bait a line in
hope of catching a dream
hooking a bit of poetry

Oxygen forms in the heart
of the stars,  shinning from
the heavens,  I gaze in awe
breathless
casting
my
wish
of
peace

      That they do Bjorn. The heart of the star is oxygen.

    Love this especially; "I bait a line in hope of catching a dream
    hooking a bit of poetry."💝

    I love that you have called your poem ‘Element Number Eight’ rather than ‘Oxygen’, Truedessa, and the lines:
    ‘fishing in the waters of my
    imagination, I bait a line in
    hope of catching a dream
    hooking a bit of poetry’.

      Thanks Kim, I think all poets have hopes of baiting a line and hooking a poem.

    Truedessa, as I read this something strikes me. 8 for oxygen. 8 turned on its side is the symbol for infinity. connection? i think so. Your poem sounds good read aloud also.

      Infinity, that is interesting, it hadn't occurred to me as I was writing the poem. It is also featured on the Tarot card of strength. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

    I like the idea of fishing for poetry, casting a wide net.

      Who knows what the net might bring in? Fish away...

      Me Too Frank, dreaming offers us so many opportunities for exploration of the waking and sleeping life.
