Peace, Love and Adamite

You may have seen this poem posted before. It has been edited a bit. Please feel free to let me know what you think.

Drowning in misery,

Stumbling along,

A Namib desert,

Forsaken and dry.

Reeling mind,

Replaying the day,

Slander spreading,

Ducts breeding tears.

Walking and wandering,

Nowhere to go,

Sauntering aimlessly,

Lost in poor perception.

Tripping suddenly on rock piled high,

Randomly placed for my own humiliation.

Rubble in hand,

Brimming with rage,

Ready to launch

Crost’ this desolate place.

Sound reaching ears,

A crumple of paper.

Beneath assumed rock,

A letter is bound.

Name atop this parchment I find...

Interest brimming... separating pair.

Eyes open wide, skimming the page.

Curiosity engaged, I thoroughly read.

Sweet Dalon, you’re here.

You’ve found us at last.

The wind whispered to us

That you’d arrive someday.

We patiently waited for our paths to cross.

We felt your agony grow closer each day.

We hope we can offer

A symbol of hope.

We represent joy,

Spirit and guidance.

We appear to be rock,

Nothing more than debris,

But in fact, we’re a stone,

A gem to be precise.

They call us Adamite,

A symbol of alignment.

We can stimulate your mind

And physical well being.

We’ll awaken your heart

To the beauty of life,

And align the chakras

Of the solar plexus.

We come to help, my friend,

So take us in your hand.

Place one in your pocket,

And another in your bag.

Keep us with you through trouble,

And remember us through triumph.

If you choose to keep us,

Your existence will grow.

So give us a chance.

Simply reach out...And take us.

Peace, Love and Adamite.

[Dayran]

An illustrative poem of the way we relate to the stones and rocks of creation. It makes for a feel and belonging.

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[Chris]

debri has an s

I found the piece thought-full and follow-able.

[Briana O'Connor]

Thank you for pointing that out...my spell check apparently had a brain fart :P

[Chris]

they do that a lot don't they?

[Briana O'Connor]

that they do!

[R Smith]

I like how this poetry is also instructive, the use of Adamite was previously unknown to me and i'm intrigued to find out more, the poem is beautiful taking us across this desert lost and alone until sweet fate intervene's to bring us to the magical properties and saviour that is Adamite, a great story/poem Briana :)

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[Rana]

Poetically educating and totally enjoyable. I had read this poem when it was first posted and I remember my amazement on gaining the knowledge about something new like adamite and my wonder if it really had such power. This time, I was amazed by the creativity of the piece itself and it's clarity as well. It's already great but if you wanted to make it even better you could do some changing in the order of words in some lines to make it flow even better. It's nicely spun out of fact and fiction and imagination. A real delight to read.

[Briana O'Connor]

Thank you so much for your positive review :D Are there any lines in particular that you would suggest changing?

[Rana]

Not particularly but take a look at these if you want: Randomly, for my own abasement, placed. Lost in perception poor. A gem to be precise..

[Briana O'Connor]

I messed with the wording a bit. Still not completely happy with it but I will work more at a later time.

[Rana]

You're heading for the better :)

[Rocans]

Hmm I thought this was a refreshing narrative. I had heard of the gem prior, but I've never heard the range of its uses as you outlined here. If I'm not mistaken you wrote a poem some time ago about another gemstone. You seem to love your stones...but dont worry we all like to get stoned :) I like it. Thanks for sharing.

[Briana O'Connor]

I had a bunch of them at one point. I took all my pieces down some time ago for editing. I like to find different topics and use them as inspiration. Gem stones was one of those topics at one point. Thank you for reading.

[Rocans]

No prob. I enjoyed it. I guess I can't knock your topic much since a (gem)stone features prominently on my upcoming novel.

[Confuser]

I enjoyed it Briana and the insight about Adamite: It sounds like we all wander this crazy world and the character was destined to find guidance at a low point. This poem is relateable to everyone. A journey lost and lonely desolations and our spirit is guided. I like the prose; the help from spirit guides...It's fun, inspiring, uplifting and hopeful. I'm wishing right now it's waiting for everyone to stumble upon and I do in some ways; we just have to find our destiny. No? Thank you very much. Dale

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you so much for such a positive review. so glad you could relate :D

[Confuser]

You're welcome.

[AaronFreitas]

This is definitely an awesome piece... I learned about something totally new... I like that. Good work... I have nothing constructive when I am educated on something new :)

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D
