Journeys Way

I write to free my soul, to give a glimps of me. I follow no rules when writting, it's what sets me free.

A butterfly landed on me,

I never get lost for too long.

As I watched the bird in the tree,

it’s pure unforgettable song.

 

Nature has a way to call me;

it shows me my soul is not wrong.

I listen, for it sets me free,

there will be a day of new dawn.

 

Follow me on this journeys way,

Misty waters cool your soul.

The end will be a brand new day;

the earth bares food to make us whole.

 

Follow the mother deer and foal,

Be careful what you do and say,

Look deep in the earth like the mole,

Or the colors will turn all grey,

 

I’m a soul within this frame

Simplicity is what I seek

Wisdom will be my only claim

I’ll be full of knowledge, yet meek

~Melody

I really have a strong love of nature poems. One of my favorites is by Alfred Lord Tennyson "The Brook". From the sounds of this poem, you'd probably appreciate it as well. I found it when I was a little girl in an antique book that my mother ended up giving me years later. This poem runs along the same emotional wavelength that that one does. Just enough calm to lull me into sleep I think. I can fall asleep with the images behind my eyelids and share this with my hubby in my dreams. :) Lovely imagery I think.

I have never like embedded videos that start automatically!!!! This one is the exception because it froze my computer.

I visited a Buddhist Temple on vacation and the thought and words including the accompanying music seems to be a perfect match with my experience there. Wonderful read..I am relaxed now Thank you

This poem is very soothing to the mind and the musical background paints a beautiful picture for the writing within!!!

Your name is almost prophetic, your writing all seems to have a beautiful lilting flow to it that i really do love. This was beautiful, one thing i would say, is that i struggled to quickly read the font? perhaps something simpler would be a bit better. But Font isn't really a comment on your writing, which is what i loved.

Relaxing. Great music pick.

Nature has a way to call me;



it shows me my soul is not wrong.



I listen, for it sets me free,



there will be a day of new dawn.


That is the BEST stanza I will read ever in my life, along with the poem! I love how you didn't put any signs descriptive words in, nor harsh or hatred. This deserves to be published, along with your other poems. Great if you are depressed or stressed in any way.

I like the theme of this poem. The beginning was a little jarring but after that the flow was nice and steady. The images are pretty and easy to see. The first few lines reminded me a lot of Alice in Wonderland, and so that thought was present while reading this piece. I think it would be interesting if you expanded a bit on what "knowledge" you get from these adventures and how you get them. That could lead the poem into even more imagery that shows the beauty of nature which is regularily missed.

Many have asked me to expand what I mean, in many of my poems. This is why I do not; I am not simply telling a story, almost all of my poetry is written as a mental prompt. I the poet write half the story, the reader is the other half. What it means to them if anything at all, creates its purpose. Very few I write are a story with clear detail, a beginning and an end. I never want to tell someone what to think…I want them to think about it.

[Clouded in Hopeful Illusions of False Delusions]

I understand your point as a writer myself. I am not saying hit the reader over the head with meaning and give them everything that they want. What I meant was to give a little more imagery to the poem that a reader has probably not heard before. As beautiful as this poem, there are many out there just like it. Since you have a unique writing style, I think it is important for your work to stand out. There is no harm done with just playing around with it and seeing if you can enchance the levels in which this poem works on.

and I shall, thank you.
