just knowing

just knowing

A Poem by Emily B
"

it may grow

"

I took a walk one rainy fall evening

as if I could leave behind

the dark cloud of unease

that I couldn't explain.

 

The neighbor's pond called to me;

orange and red-leaved trees

stood tall against the horizon,

every brilliant leaf reflected back

from the rippling water.

 

In a moment, I realized

that my churning insides

moved in time with

the red and orange shimmering of the water

 

I was part of the vibrations I witnessed.

The realization brought tears

that were neither sad nor glad

just knowing

I love those fleeting moments of knowing. This poem describes so well that I can almost feel the sensation myself. We are all part of the natural world, we are like leaves floating on the water. A beautiful vision as well as depth is to be found in this poem.

Our feelings seem to be in synchronization with the seasons...mellowing with the leaves and days of autumn...will winter be bitter or mild? We will wish for the best and prepare for the worst and hope we will meet again in spring. Lovely dear lady.

I love those times of reflection and knowing. Knowing you are part of a huge scheme and reflecting upon where you fit within it. Being sad about what some have done to it and happy that so many are working hard to protect it. Just the knowing you are a part of it. Great write!

This is true in my mind. I wandered around my new surrounding last night and I could feel the autumn change occurring. This resonates with me deeply.

the neutral 'just knowing' - important place to get to and often overlooked in this emotional and opinionated ride inside human skin. You poem builds to this point very nicely

The melancholy feel of fall as the background, yet really just neeeding to feel. This is all brought to us by nature. And in a strange way, melancholy can sometimes drive us to find the thoughts that make us happy.
