Jealousy

                                           I’m jealous of the Rain

      For it can wash away

      The weakness and the pain

                                           That comes our way…

I’m jealous of the Wind

For it can travel any space

From a warm breath of mint

To a sweet and familiar face…

I’m jealous of the Sun

For it’s not afraid of the dark

Irreplaceable for everyone

Starting life from a little spark…

I’m jealous of the Moon

For it has seen the greatest stories

And will witness some others soon

Cause she’s the keeper of the world’s undying glories

 

I’m jealous of the Sky

This ‘’ant hill’s’’ vault

Having a world to occupy

And sometimes crying tears of salt

 

I’m jealous of the Birds

For they can pierce the air.

And are able to fly towards

The sun, the moon…and anywhere

I’m jealous of the Heart

That is brave and fearless

Waiting for the love to start

Unafraid of failure, or of success…

There are so many beautiful lines and phrases in this. And the poetic symbolism is rife too. The 'Moon' stanza is breathtaking, my favourite. The final line is a superb close to this. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for the RR. :))

Yet, my dear friend, from the soul in all your poems, you seem to be the strong woman that can sustain anything.
I like the concept of listing the attributes of each element.

[Ana B.]

:) I'm glad you think so my friend, evem sometimes it does not feel this way at all......thank you for stopping by.
