Earthed

On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it. Jules Renard

Feelings earthed, as the salt of my gentle tears

sublimating in a crystal abstracted from my eyes

so they spring to life, flowing out as they rise

as the flood of my sorrow, as the sum of my fears.

 

Feelings earthed, in the waterfalls sits a treasure isle

as the current splashes in this rainbow high

or broken and sometimes two to say goodbye

the sounds of the silence, a grin or a smile.

 

Feelings earthed, in the tenderness of my caressing

in the softness of your touch, in the thrill of the height

and the deep of your skin, in the heavenly unloading.

 

Feeling earthed, in departing from a life that was so fine

the days now shortened, and finally it’s only becoming

as it has to be, resting in that piece of earth that’s mine.

I enjoyed the poem. Gave respect and beauty to the earth.

I like the journey and visions create by the amazing poetry my friend.

You are welcome. Always a pleasure to read your words.

the tears represent the beginning of life...first thing created was water...then the departing from life, back to dust we go...back to that earth that we own...each of us a plot of it as we go through life...perhaps it is what we earn, inherit, amass...

but i really like the double meaning of "piece" in the last line...

Well penned!
I really enjoyed reading this piece, because there are little pieces or glimpses
everyday but we must be aware of them, my example would be, today I saw
a father hugging his son with pure love flowing out of his heart and I knew
right away that was a glimpse of heaven, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you so much, James, indeed we have to look good to see them. :) Rudi
