New Dawn Listening

Your birthday gift

 honored with a tragedy, 

so you go ahead and 

lie your shadows down.

 

There is silence in the slowing

crazy network 

mind hives

over 5000 exoplanets

with two water worlds

close by.

Infants in the eons 

perhaps

life will start there

and they too

will infinitely wonder

outwardly seek their creators

amongst the wonderous firmaments

just like us

When all they have to do 

is close

their infant eyes and

 listen to love.

Maybe the real universe is in the womb...infants have it best living in there before they have to come out and join the cruel world that is so full of questions of existence...and why
there is so much chaos. It is peaceful when protected by the mother who loves us.
and maybe Mother Nature is our real mother, like the Virgin Mary....and we are in her womb...
but treating it badly...when all it wants to do is give us shelter and love.

I adore the words of Jacob about being in the Womb of Mother Nature,,, like the Womb of the Virgin Mary,,, Prayer for Jacob as his heart 💜 surgery heals, and once again when the Moon is Full he will share his Poetry .. Amen Pat

I did not know about Jacob! I certainly will! And on Monday, Feb. 6, at 1:29 p.m. EST I will expect to see some wonderful "near death" poetry from him :P

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Corset… how did you discover Monday February Six at 1:29 p.m. EST to be “ the day” for “near death poetry from Jacob ? Pat x

[W. Barrett Munn]

This is so good it makes me want to chunk my pen and take up a hobby more suited to limited abilities.

pffffft, who put you up to that review? Kidding right? However you are the bomb for that sweet little white one. Thank you Winston :D

[Coyote Poetry]

A wonderful poem dear Corset. I wanted to know more.
"When all they have to do
is close
their infant eyes and
listen to love."
I did like the strength of the above lines. We must listen to love. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Thank you Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome my dear friend.

[Ken Simm.]

Complex relationship poem that speaks to all relationships from the beginning to what I'm increasingly realising might not be the end in a way. Beautifully done

[Corset]

Thank you Ken! always good to see you :D

Wow, after reading Jacobs comment I think that anything I could say would be inadequate and lackluster to say the least. So let me just say that I always look forward to something new from you because your poetry always leaves me thinking and dreaming...this was no exception. Beautiful my friend.

[Corset]

J does give good reviews, however yours are always wonderful and welcome as well! :D Hope he is up with pen in hand soon! Thank you for stopping in

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

O! Wow! That opening stanza is heart-breakingly beautiful! "So you go ahead and lie your shadows down." The depth of despair here is ... just ... devastatingly sad.

The closing stanza is beautifully writ, so full of beauty and hope.

[Corset]

Thank you Linda Marie Van Tassell (what an amazing pen name)

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Thank you. It's my actual birthname, which makes it all the more special. :-)

[Corset]

yes it certainly does!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Corset… so beautiful that Babies will close their infant eyes and listen to the sounds of 💗 Love. tenderly, Pat

[Corset]

So beautiful that for some worlds it is automatic, no trials, some might believe we contract our stories and then live them, I really wonder what kind of horrible mess I was in to accept this one lolol. learning free will world, what was I thinking!

[Patricia Wedel]

It is shocking that many Flower Babies may be lifted to heavenly realms to become baby angels… Praying always it will not be so….

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Corset.. my hubby and myself just saw the first Avatar Movie made in 2009… it was fascinating with the “ blue people creatures”. I understand the latest Avatar Movie is mostly under water. My daughter and her family have seen the latest movie. Somehow your Poem seems to reflect on the Premise of the Movie in some way. gently, Pat

[Corset]

Yes, Thanks Pat! love your comments!

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

A powerful message within this creative piece of poetry. This really speaks to the way I see the world and my place within it. Thank you for sharing your art in words with us.

[Corset]

I'm so grateful you were able to relate in some way, thank you for your kind comments.
