'Free To Be'

Returning to here and now 🌹

'Free To Be'

When you free
To just be
And drink

A cup of coffee

Dunking
Ouma Rusks
While distant
Wind chimes

Chime

And echo
In each
Corner
Of your
Mind

It's there
Within
The peace
That you lose
All space and time
Upon waiting
For

'What's mine'

For that certain
Place in time

Incense burning
Slow
With aroma
And a glow
A light
As if it knows
Each story
That's
Been told

Sunshine
Burning
Bright

Powerful
Beauty
Shedding light

What is wrong
And what
Is right

The do's
And dont's
Of every life

The "ticking tock'
Of
The mantle
Clock
To chime
What's set out
In the
Hands of time

Orchids blooming
Bright within
Golden sunlight
While others still
In bloom
Removing every
Gloom and doom
That's hanging around
But
Has no entrance
To be found

Keep your feet
On solid ground
Pretend you are on
A merry go round

Hear the silence
Each sound
Return to the
Here and now

For that is all
It is

In each
Measure
To be
Found .

I agree dear Kelly.
"Keep your feet
On solid ground
Pretend you are on
A merry go round"
The above lines, we must do. I like the twist or words and thank you for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.

What an incredible dance of words, each wee phrase set en pointe as if ready and waiting for its next partner. You have a specific style which is very endearing. I know your words offered themselves three times and if there was time, would read them again! They are music to my early morning ears. Kelly! Many thanks for sharing. Take care.

This reminds me of some of my college days...zoning out with a bit of a toke...feeling very peaceful...

listening to music feeling like I was there in the grooves of the record.
If we can hear the silence....I think that means we find inner sanctum.
I like how you topple words upon words in your pieces...
such a style that is your forte.

dear Kelly... every day is a pleasure to rearrange
the flowers of captured moments... spent in quiet places where green moss is soft and cool on a hot Summer day... Honeysuckle sips of nectar will bring the evening Fireflies. A day well spent. tenderly, Pat

Yes how wonderful is each moment to gather up all that is near and beautiful and just waiting to be noticed and appreciated asking nothing but giving much x 🌹❤️🙏

The curse of the human ego is to wander in fantasies while neglecting all there is, the here and now. The poem is a nice way of illustrating this truth.
