Pomegranate

Inspiration found in the darkness of night with Mr. Jimi Hendrix.

Twisted my heart at core, feeling the anxiety subside

Heading forward towards the waves, beckoning me in awe 

How calm it is here, among the crashing chaos surrounding me

Pomegranate moon sinking into the dark horizon

Taking the strength and energy quenching my souls thirst

Leaving little balls of fire to burst color in my mind

Words start putting themselves in little rows

Meanings healing and calming my twisted heart

Imaginations breathing life back into my soul

Unreachable but understandable, confusing but on track

Two more verses and it'll come together again

There's no true way to write nor is there to live

By the books as history repeats, by the wildness of the heart

Mistakes are unavoidable, questions sometimes unanswered

Moving along with time, searching for who

An adventurous ambitious ardent child

Experiencing life, not taking wisdom from the wise

Pen to paper each lesson learned to date.

I love the idea of a pomegranate moon sinking into the dark horizon, a very evocative sentence. I do love the way that inspiration is caught in the strangest of places. Jimi hitting a chord just so, or a word or phrase sung that whisks you off into that strange old world of the inspired.
I really like how you acknowledge that each thing written is a lesson. I do believe that it is one of the things that is best done, and not explained.
Thank you for sharing Gloria, great piece.

Thank you! I always loved sitting on the shore, watching the hue change, and just following the inspiration wherever it takes me. You describe exactly what usually happens when a song just gets me going haha
I agree, sometimes explaining doesn't hit the heart the way poetry does. Lessons are best understood using our sense, at least that's how I take life.
Thank you, again, for your very kind, encouraging words :) I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Souls not to be changed to Soul's...
I love t he expression..but what is it about?

[Ms. Twitch]

I'm not sure if you mean "Taking the strength and energy quenching my souls thirst" OR "Imaginations breathing life back into my soul" but I always found watching the moon turn into a blood-red color, the energy it gives and watching the waves as a way to re-start my soul, cleanse of it negative energy.
Hope that helps :) thank you for stopping by and reading!
