Energy

I awoke to the blessed sound of the universe expanding

The fact that I drew breath that morning evidence enough

That I was a part, big or small, primetime or extra, of the exponential growth

I ate breakfast as energy, I worked as energy, I wrote as energy

Oh and I loved as only a creator can love, passionately, with my socks on

Look at you, you bundle of life, look long into the mirror

And take stock of how deep your eyes truly are and smile

Your day has just begun and yet you know by the end, you will have built empires

That poem you wrote is a bridge, that story a skyscraper, that painting, good lord, that painting

Come sit with me and let's hold hands and talk about what makes us happy, because it all should

Come lay with me and let's hold hands and think about how to make the world happy, but not at our expense

Come walk with me and lets hold hands and not say a thing until the universe needs our input

Wow, an opening line that lets you know you are alive and there is lots of living and loving to do. A great way to awake.This write is full of power from the minute eyes opened. Your last lines speak earnestly and knowingly. An awe inspiring write.

[Chris Shaw]

What an energising poem, so fiull of positivity and it started before you even sat down to breakfast. Electrifying in its uplifting and radiating mood. I was left thinking cor, I wish you could bottle that and sell it. I'd buy it. Thank you Crowley

A poem that gives you a pretty good kick and reminds you to LIVE! I loved it. especially the first line "I awoke to the blessed sound of the universe expanding" had me hooked right there! very creative! :)

Passionately with my socks on. Genuinely laughing

The last stanza is astounding in the fact that it shows real love and a partnership. Holding hands and walking or laying side by side shows equality and respect for one another. Has been ages since I read any of your work and I must say it’s brilliant as always.

That is a visual...lol. I love my creative family, even though I haven’t met many of them. They all keep me on my toes!!!

[Poetic Beauty]

It’s good to see that you still have a way of spinning a visual tale

We all crave more energy! We all love it when a message is conveyed with energy! This poem is the antithesis of sluggishness. I love how this poem is the perfect blend of straightforward & whimsical . . . of making focused points while meandering thru your observations. The last 3 lines are particularly thought-provoking becuz they do not follow directly from the rest of your message, but feel a little "all over the place" in a pleasing energetic way! You finish with points we weren't expecting to follow from this topic, but which are brilliant in their inventiveness (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Crowley]

Now that you say that there is a bit of a disconnect there. Margie!!!!! So good to see you love. I am so behind in reading, but the good thing is you have a plethora of new things, plus the new book! Have and loved the last one and will be ordering the new one! I have missed you!!

Thanks, sweetie . . . seize life when it's in your face! *smile*

Perhaps what we feel inside is what we need for energy, relativity, and most other words ending in
y' that make sense. Every day we have the right to our view of life and its clasp of and on human comings and goings. We can join in, stir and mix a little, or, sit back and watch, nodding, laughing, learning. It's so easy to forget that dawn comes every day, whatever the weather; that love lies somewhere in its own human or spiritual form.. and, we are blessed with a daily helping of energy from any source we choose, greed excepted.. Like the loaves and little rishes, . leave some for others and gently strengthen an energy nobody can or ever will understand. Perhaps?

Your last three lines could sink a ship with tearful wonderment, Crowley. Your words inevitably inspire - gently;, often with humour, rarely demanding.. and you inspire.. And I for sure could do with a heap of that right now.

[Crowley]

Yeah, it’s the last thing I wrote in a while. Been a bit overwhelmed lately. Mind working, pen is not. I love when I write something you can identify with because I know I’ve reached something on a human level. That’s how I view you, human first and to a great degree. So glad you came by and that I saw this today. I needed it!

[emmajoy]

Perhaps because I've been searching here and there, I recognised just a little something. We all plough through stormy oceans at times, sadly. So hope you find a safe harbour very soon, truly.

your title drew me in .. i love when science and poetry are combined .. spiritual undertones seems always the outcome ... i get up early, Crowley, ... its 2:30 AM and iv'e already been up an hour and my 2 cups of coffee self limit ... i appreciate the focus of your poem ... taking a breath first off .. grateful once again to wake ;) the intimate sharing with another human being .. without taking ... is sublime .. to stop and think about energy ... the incredible power swirling about in all things ... what have we got it down to now ...quarks and leptons ...who in the world gave them names like that ... maybe we need more artsy fartsy people in those circles eh!? :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) nice scene you create sir! thinking about the gift of my breath right now

Thank you so much! I think I need a little of this lately as well seeing as how it is the last thing I’ve written in a bit. Reviews like this are one of the reasons we keep writing. Thank you and I hope you are well!!!!

[poetgurl]

I really enjoyed this write, love your last stanza a lot. Very creative and well thought out write. Awesomeness!!

[Crowley]

Thanks so much!!!! Been gone for a while but promise I will give you a visit!!! Glad you liked it!!!

[R.E. Ray]

“That poem you wrote is a bridge...” among the many truths in your poem! This is why I read poetry. It inspires and binds me to humanity—the good parts. I need to read words like yours more often. An extraordinary poem I’ll recall tomorrow morning when I wake. Thank you for sharing!

[Crowley]

Thanks for the great review, sorry so long in commenting. I have had a bit of block lately. Can’t wait to visit your work!!!

[R.E. Ray]

You're welcome. And, please don't feel obligated to read my work. I always appreciate reviews, though I do reviews only because the good work appeals to me. Hope your block is gone soon. I've been there.
