Lost in My Wildness

I loosen my hair, setting it free,

and just like that…

                        I’m free

to catch the warm whisper of the wind

Free as the rustling leaves up above

stirring the birds, sweetly…the sound

 

Lost in my wildness, like a stream of fresh water

nourishing an ever-increasing thirst for all of life’s vigor

 

But it goes deeper than that

I’m not fighting against time

but longing for a life to flow clean,

            with passion

                        like poetry

Hungering to live among the wanders, the travelers, the poets

Surrendering everything

to create a life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in my imagination

 

Call me a tramp,

            or a gypsy

But I’m not looking for anything

                                    nor am I aimless

My aims are just different than most

 

Lost in my wildness

                          My lover is calling, 

                                                    but I’m not answering

[Gee]

I wonder if there are folk out there who are lucky enough to realise all of their dreams and get to leave this world with no regrets.
I would love to have had the balls, when younger, to have packed a bag and took off to who knows where to do who knows what.
Enjoyed reading your words, good morning

So thrilling to read your most-valued poems with sparks going every way life and love goes!

Oh.. how l love this. I often wish l could just get in my truck and drive with no specific destination, but take time to stop when l desired, see what l want and let that wild wind entangle my thoughts.
My soul wants to be that wanderer your poem speaks of, my heart feals every word.

This is the Julie l ❤️

I really love this poem. We all search for something. But those that think outside the box have a better chance at finding it.

[MsJewel]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's nice to see you :) Julie

"with passion, like poetry", what a stunning line! I will call you "gypsy", not as an aimless roamer, but as a wild wind disturbing everything you touch with "passion". Your dreams written in your poetry, has certainly stirred me, thank you. -Curt

[MsJewel]

We all need a little passion and poetry in our lives. So thrilled to have you stop by and leave such kind words :) Julie
