Enveloped

What drives the human soul?

 

Enveloped

 

We are enveloped

 -In hopes, dreams and expectations.

This Inner life

-Longs to come to flame as a candle.

Living in a dance of words

 Expressed through emotion’s refrain,

Do we long to come together as one?

Crescendo then pause in softness,

Begin a measure anew?

Speak to me, even if short the song.

Find my voice in yours,

To learn, impart, question.

Share thoughts, and joyous harmony.

Author's Note

Just a simple description of life's heart need.

I have always believed that we are connected in an ethereal sense, which I picture as the spiritual energy of God. Your poem (which I love) reminds me of this network I imagine, detailed with all the jewels along the path, which are the connections we make, whether brief or long-lasting (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

barleygirl,
Your review was quite refreshing for you gave of your own inner and honest thoughts. That is just so nice! I think sometimes that all the many times, experiences now forgotten are not forgotten to my Lord God and that somehow these experiences still somehow live and shine as the layers which are the foundation of everything I am. As you wrote above, 'with all the jewels laong the path which are the connections we make, whether brief or long-lasting. Your a jewell Miss Margie!
Blessings as always,
Kathy

Your 'simple description' is really beautiful, I think. Lovely metaphor is 'enveloped'. To me, it means that we are safely contained, but also like envelopes (letters in the mail) we can go travelling together 'to learn, impart,question, Share thoughts, and joyous harmony.' What a wonderful way of putting it. And who indeed does drive the Human Soul? A lovely poem.

Great Aunt Astri,
'Envelopes in the mail) we can go traveling together to learn....Thank you. To know that someone really thinks about what I write is very affirming and helpful. You are truly a treasure!
Your review is actually material to add to this poem. Good job!
Blessings,
Kathy

What a beautiful glimpse of our lives flowing together in the most extravagant song. We can feel the harmony of lives, the music rising and falling as one. How your words make me wish the world could be like an orchestra... all different people... different instruments... but all moving together as one, creating a song of wonder and joy.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

An owl on the moon,
And to wish for unity. This seems so much of the times to be the missing piece of the puzzle. Patience I suppose at least for me goes a really long way. Your review has given me a happy and hopeful out look....
thank you!

We sometimes forget that we are all joined in one way or another for the greater good of mankind (or should I quote the illustrious leader of Canada and say peoplekind?) Most will look at life and see pain, others will look and find joy. Those who discover joy will, like David, raise their voices in song.


Let us sing our hearts out.

Good write Kathy.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Ted kniffen,
I love how you use your review to bring a positive apple of gold to others eyes. My eyes are connected to my heart and to find anything related to joy while the world (seems to be sometimes spinning out of control) is truly what is needed. Your ending above is a real charmer too! Do we need permission? 'Let us sing our hearts out'
Way to go dear writing friend!
Blessings,
Kathy

[Ted Kniffen]

No permission is needed Kathy. Sing...dance...celebrate.

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

It's not easy finding a simple loving way of viewing this world, I know. Love hearing from you too! Hugs.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

We are all entertwined somehow- when we connect with another on a higher level our souls feel it - but people are sometimes afraid to speak their truth- I believe in just letting it be the truth sets you free- they may think you crazy but we are under no obligation to be normal as dictated by society- those who understand will and will come to pin the missing links- in time the truth unfolds- 🌹

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thank you for your honest feelings. It is nice to know others thoughts. Blessings, Kathy

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

[andrew mitchell]

Profound write Kathy, yes inner harmony and living harmoniously, ideal choices although hard to obtain for most!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

HI Andrew,
If you enjoy singing, to get the notes just right and blend harmonies perfectly is just the ticket. I think we know when we click with people and our mental and emotional blending is lovely too.
I love your response too!
Blessings
Kathy

we are longing the life of the spirit,together and entwined with one another

[Kathy Van Kurin]

worman,
While life exists on this earth people either work together or find life very lonely with no one to care. I like your view. The Spirit of people long to be connected. A very vulnerable place to be.
Blessings,
Kathy

[wordman]

yes they do,but some like it lonely,or pretend they do

[Kathy Van Kurin]

wordman,
Yea, i get that. Who knows the inner motivations and sensibilities of all people? Not me I guess.
Blessings sir!
