Treasure Chest

Party of joy within Birdsong and tree life's setting in Spring and I was allowed a seat.

                                                                                                     

                                                                                                       

Back-lit, blending- surrounding, drifting;

Cottonwood seed puffs, in air, through marshlands flicker.

They play copy- cat, snow fluffs caper.

April is turning transitional song; Soft raspberry sun dress weather.

My eyes rise at your waves of cresting new flurries;

Cotton crystals caught blazing.

Strata trees depth, many bird- canopy-calliopes,

Carry musical tones, sounding like water jewel piccolos.

Feathered air crafts, balanced wings spread;

Aerodynamic tail tillers domain.

Air grace parlays- trapeze innovators; humbled at your door step I wait.

Imagine and wonder, your ability to fly.

Wish- dream -yearn; tethered moorings are loosening at the seams.

Each thread has become vanquished, fraying.

These symbols’ haunt consciousness; awake, vision or dreaming?

Through reflective reversal’s screen; my understanding stops.

I fear I am missing strength’s potent truths as I bask in these inner glory tears.

From edge’s angle to faraway note,

Understanding is known and felt perception.

Inner treasure chest, each shimmering sweet barb calls.

What is the key? Who is to claim it?

Queries the question: Does this yearning point to a clue?

This treasure Chest of who I really am lives still:

 For it is given from My savior and creator; the Lord Jesus Christ;

 -The clue and the key.

initially i was on a flight of fancy and starting to put myself in a wonderland..i love when the cottonwoods start to "snow" ..it is truly a magical time ;) but your poem turns much deeper into that inner journey ...searching for self ...just the thought of it gives me a headache ;)))) we spend our youth on that journey don't we?! the clue and the key in Jesus again puts another spin on this one ... He to me is forgiveness and redemption ... we find peace and comfort in the Faith He brings ...but life and searching remain in the domain of human choice always ... and our resultant adventures are so colored :) really enjoyed the inspirations your poem brought me ... it has me re-thinking me own Faith :)

Einstein Noodle,
I need a place to just be, just sit, just feel....inner ponderings; to analyze. Life just seems to move to fast for me and spending time with the One Who Loves Me Most is not often eneough but sometimes it is extra special and brings strength and help to my soul. What can I say. I know I need Jesus! You review left me feeling that human hearts are more similar then not and encouraged me to keep going, keep loving, keep serving others and caring. God just used your honesty. Keep it up. We all need that in each other.
Bless you dear friend!

there is great peace and comfort in Jesus .. resting in the Hands of God is so simple it is hard ;} what a wonderful thought that all those in that place are sharing it ... your poetry always uplifts and inspires me ... very grateful to be getting to know you here at the Cafe!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thanks,
I get what your saying... "resting in the Hands of God is so simple it is hard" Resting and trusting go together here. We are like children as we learn. We all come from different places and experiences and God knows how to help us for He knows us. We are His direct responsibility. It is neat being able to be part of a writing community too...really nice.

I now have the time to sit and ponder

who I am and why
Until I read your writing
I had not given thought

You woke me from my inner slumber
See if I can learn who /what I am
definitely more than just a man

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Wild Rose,
To ponder, to think and acknowledge why and how we exist. Not just what culture says but who loves us the most. Thankyou for reading. Your review is so lovely!
Blessings,
Kathy

Pleased you liked
we (most people) just get on with life as it happens
You have to look to the side > and may be the back to see what its all about
Like riding a bike/ driving a car

the creative flow of words makes me sit up and really read, an awesome writing, i can't write anything more.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

sette,
Sometimes our inner soul's antennae is activated because we are designed to be intuitive. We are spiritual beings. We are made to be loved. How can we find true and real love but by the only God who created all for His Glory. We are safe when we acknowledge our need for Jesus.
(Jesus answered; "I am the way and the Way and the Truth and the Life.No one comes to the Father except through me.) New International Version (NIV) Bible.It is wonderful to meet you and read your wonderful input and thoughtful insight.
Blessings,
Kathy

The day it came to be was one of those days where the inner soul felt full of expectation; like a little kid that can't wait to "get there." I was just along for the ride and the loveliness of the day just pulled me a long. Your a peach and I appreciate the kindness of your input. You have a really spiffy day!

Hey there; you so naturally give vent to thoughts flowing and they are poetic and winsome. I'm impressed. You are a talented guy. I actually am so into the night sky! It is just enthralling!

it was a pleasure my friend

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

So very true these words- when we watch nature it opens many things internally and thoughts- nature is true wisdom- yes we have been given the key to unlock the heavenlies- we need to connect with spirit to see deeper and ask and we’ll recieve- we are made in perfect image - wonderful words and questioning🌹

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thoughts in Time,
Oh Thank You! I feel sometimes that we all really are so much alike. The wonderment of being open to the beauty is such a gift. Stars, light, sky. wind, etc and etc. The list just flows. I appreciate your lovely honest introspection.
Blessings to you.....
