The Pool of Life

Musings ....

I dip my pen into the pool of life

And let it paint some pictures there for me

It shimmers in the glorious midday sun

And words begin to flow so pensively

I feel the love I share upon the tip

And passion burns a trail for every age

My hand is tearing wildly back and forth

And all the words are tumbling on the page

I see the world creatively so clear

As light and life are cleverly described

For all my heart is flowing through my arm

And no emotion is allowed to hide

I let my mind run free expressively

No subject is diminished by my thoughts

A raging torrent is inside of me

That shows a strong and deep emotive force

I let the spirits take me to the sky

Where albatrosses wheel on thermals warm

I ride the trade winds through the clouds

And feel the essence of the lightning storm

I am as one with nature now

For all of me is bidden by the world

I let my mind just spin and turn

As all the feelings now inside me swirl

For life is full of strong impassioned needs

Each era shows us different demands

So as the years go tumbling behind

I’ll write my feelings through creative hands

Wonderful..you expressed how I feel when I switch my pen for my oils and paint brushes..I love painting more than writing but can't seem to part with a picture as easily as I do a mystery or a poem as I always have the original copy..artistic natures have so many different forms..it is just being able to release them from the heart and mind and set them to music, paper or canvas,,Nice write Phil..I enjoyed this one..God bless..Valentine

uuuuuuuuuu la la!!! I really enjoyed this one. It was written so clearly yet with such intricacy. I really enjoyed it, especially how you described just letting it all out on paper, you made it sound so passionate! Great piece :D
