You Move Me

A very lovely woman I've met here sent me this photo, I was moved by it, read it as you wish.

Awe struck... 

        by the beauty of

        your light

       all the colors of passion

 swept me away

to a mystical place

 in my soul's sight

Fire and ice

 rapturous entanglements

weaving and staking

 its claim in space

I see the wonderment

     of a child's' laughter

The dignity of royalty,

 the fight for life,

tearful cries of joy

 and blissful encounters

a newborn life

   that explodes onto this earth

           crimson that connects

 our lifeblood and ardor

  Fierceness of a lioness 

         protecting her cubs

honesty and true blue

          dedication with fervor

majestic moutains

            of pride and grace

A safe place to rest

 the weary head at peace

  I see all these colors

          that shade your luster

it shapes my world

            glistens my hope 

     and moves my being

Only someone with a beautiful heart and spirit could have written this poem....You...your heart...and the words that you spill...Sometimes its hard to see the rainbow through dark glasses....such a tender piece that reaches into the depths....
I think this one is very telling and very well done......I thank you for the share....and for being so special....:)

[Frieda P]

That is quite a compliment coming from you Angel, one who writes such constant beauty in her work...thanks so much for this great review.

[Delilah]

I love the way you begin the poem, "Awe struck," you know with an opening like that the writing is going somewhere.

[Frieda P]

That's exactly how I felt when I looked at that photograph...thanks Deliah.

[Coyote Poetry]

Great description gave life to the poem. I like the many strong statements in the poem.
"Fire and ice
rapturous entanglements
weaving and staking
its claim in space
I see the wonderment
of a child's' laughter"
The above lines were my favorite. Always a pleasure to read your poetry. Thank you for the excellent poem.

That's my favorite too Coyote, glad you enjoyed it...thanks.

[Priscilla Sayers]

This piece leaves me "awestruck". Such passion that rises to the surface of your poetic soul! I love each line, each description you vividly place into my mind. Bravo Love!!!!

[Frieda P]

So glad you think I did it justice since it belonged to you first lovely friend! Thanks so much xo

[Priscilla Sayers]

Lol, the pic, the words were the passion of you:)

[Frieda P]

You were the inspiration though my friend! :-)

[Priscilla Sayers]

~blushing~

[Frieda P]

Is that from a fever or what? ;-)

[Priscilla Sayers]

Hee hee hee, aw silly, from the praise homie. Although I do suffer from the crazies now and again;)

[Frieda P]

Crazy inspirations you mean!

[Priscilla Sayers]

Naw just crazy me lol...
Fever of the overly emotional sponge, the extreme analytical mind, and the humble creature who loves to inspire yet when the inspired makes such a beautiful creation I am but a child quick to blush from being humbled once more. You are an honor for this crazy soul of mine love:)

[Frieda P]

Now that's funny, 'fever of the overly emotional sponge' sounds like there is not cure...just keep looking for awesome pictures my sweet wife! ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This poem is mesmerizing and gorgeous... the wonder that is love goes beyond this universe. You certainly did the picture justice and then some.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Dale, missing you....no planting weird pics on my profile! ;-P

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well have no fear cause I am here... weird pic a coming :)

[...Relic...]

First of all, the picture is immense. It show the vastness, turbulence and astonishing power of space through vivid colors and perspective. It is no wonder you have penned such varied impressions within this poem.

Elements of space are mysterious; elements of life can also be enigmatic. For millions of years space has existed in turmoil and serenity. The earth has also experienced this. Yet here we are. Life is a wonder to behold if we just look around. Scientists have known this for years. The picture in this poem is a good starting point for those who are interested in being amazed and inspired as you have been through this writing.

Good poem.

[Frieda P]

[...Relic...]

[Frieda P]

[...Relic...]

[AYVID]

There is so much beauty in so many places in this world, giving such bliss to the soul... if only we would just look around us...Our amazement and delight would never cease.
Joy, dignity, compassion, beauty, of our fellow creatures...it is this that gives us the strenght to go on and brightens our outlook on a gloomy day.

Once again superb! Thanks.

[Frieda P]

You said it Divya...some days we are blind to the beauty...thanks so much.

' Fire and ice ~ rapturous entanglements ~ weaving and staking ~ its claim in space ~ I see the wonderment ~ of a child's' laughter '

What a wonderfully touching stanza .. made me gasp. For me, this entire poem makes me pause and think, pause and wonder, go back to the picture .. stunningly beautiful and extraordinary .. then see how you've actually written illuminating words. They stretch.. no, radiate out and tell secrets such as, 'moves my being'.

Just realised that i feel as if you've displayed a special room in your mind. Beautiful.

[Frieda P]

Your review made me gasp...thanks so much for leaving this wonderful response Emma.

[emmajoy]

Meant every word; got to the end, wrote what i felt immediately. Still feel the same..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are the color of love and refuge....

you are the breast to lean my head against when i feel sad, or threatened...you are my rock...

i really like this poem and its expressiveness--the fierceness yes, but the tenderness too.

one spot...should be "its claim in space"---

good write.

[Frieda P]

Thanks jacob for the lovely review and correction.

[Renée]

Wow Incredible photo.. I can see how it inspired you to write this uplifting piece..Nice work !

[Frieda P]

Thanks Renee, it really is gorgeous, didn't take much to be inspired by that beauty.

[Renée]

your right it doesn't take much to be inspired...but it does take talent to convey feeling like you did

[Frieda P]

Awh thanks, that was like a warm hug..... :-)

Wow - really enjoyed this. I can see why the picture inspired, and you went beyond doing it justice. I love the hope, intrigue, and wonderment of this poem. Truly spectacular, Frieda.
