Walking across water

 

 

 

 

 

You are a mortal with an immortal's soul

 

listening...        

 

 

to the platonic voices of reasoning

 

owning a conscience that filled you with clarity  

 

confident hands that divided the seasons

 

composing...       

 

words of symmetry and curiosity

 

revealing your awesome beauty and mystery    

 

your two feet barely touched the dirt of the earth

 

you preferred...       

 

to walk across water or walking on air

 

gravity seemed to move your energy elsewhere  

 

the cosmos gifted you with a gratis life

 

you knew not...       

 

how lucky you were and how lucky you was

 

to be weightless and do whatever just because

This reminds me of someone so close to heart and then so out of reach. Almost like a lover never touched. Of course I relate everything to my life because I'm selfish that way lol... but honestly it touched that part of me, that waits on the other side.. with arms wrapped around my knees and simply silent...xo "breathe me"... sigh

I was moved writing this...the pic of the bridge...felt like an invitation to cross over.

[Lily Mae]

That's what I loved about it. The clarity is there to cross and the fog doesn't seem to be foreboding but more inviting.. like it's just mean't to be..

[Lily Mae]

Plus up above in the clouds the darkended area looks like two lovers..x

I know where your mind it sweetie...I hope he will breathe the same air as you someday.

Photo and words were beautiful. I drove in the mountain of Honduras in 1994. It was a sunny day. All of sudden it was cloudy. The Honduras woman saw my wonder. She told me. You are driving in a cloud. The poem took me to this day. Thank you for the amazing poetry.

A little unorthodox and I like it that way, how did you get the music to play in the backround? It's a very nice touch.

[Muse]

Most will tell you that being "unorthodox" is my style. You use an embedded html code in Author's note box, if you need more info let me know. And thankyou.

That opening line is amazing, Muse. It seems like such a simple realization....we are all immortal....but do we ever really feel that? Recognize it? We are far more than we ever give ourselves credit for, I think.

To me, reading this, I felt a sense of calm and peace. Not walking on the water in a Christ like way. Not gliding on the air like a god. But rising above the depths of despair and soaring on mended wings, as nothing but a human...who will live on forever.

If we could just do whatever we wanted now....what would we do "just because?"

LOVE this. Truly. Serene and comforting poetry.

[Muse]

Thank you...I feel meloncholy when I say...it was maybe an attempt to find my own peace. Being alive..your feet some days just feel so very heavy. I dream of being weightless...and do whatever...just because.

love the picture, love the poem. like a breath of fresh air, this was a relieving and calming, the way poetry should be. the bridge disappearing into mist gives invitation to cross, to see the other side and the secrets which lay beyond. a dull sense of curiousity amidst the numbness of the ''just because'' interesting contrast there. completely stunning.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

i really like this poem...it makes me appreciate the wonders of imagination and the unreal.

the last two lines were the most moving to me, because i find it wonderful to escape into thoughts of "unrealiities" whenever i feel bad.

[Muse]

I find it wonderful to be just because....

[Relic]

I recognized the spirituality just from the picture alone, your words are what guided me along. There are metaphors within this that to me represent clarity of heaven and the fog of earthly living. To cross over and see the depth and meaning is the goal. Life here is but a moment.

[Muse]

thank you...there's guiding light in all of us...I need to believe this. xo

This is incredible...a stunning ode to idols, which can come in many forms, but I think this piece is applicable to all of them...the last two lines end it perfectly...great work :)

[Muse]

having a spiritual awakening is a complex emotion, just wanted to share. xo

[Jon Roggie]

This is beautiful. Combination of the picture, the music, and the words are stunning. Thank you for this.

[Whiskurz]

You think outside the box which makes creativity a slave to your words....another Great write my friend.....Whisk

[The Analog Kid]
