TODAY

I want to dance outside today
to feel the earth beneath my bare feet 
to know the power of the sun on my face 
to lift up my arms to the sky
experience the healing joy of letting myself go

I want to shout out loud today
roar like a lion
call out to the angels
a loud deep emotion from within
a releasing scream of power from my soul

then I want to listen quietly in the woods
to the whisper of the trees in the wind
the joyful singing of the birds
with the harmony of natures gifts
to the message in the waterfall

Not everyone can appreciate what we have around us at all times, this poem is beautiful.

'.. .. lift up my arms to the sky ~ experience the healing joy of letting myself go .. .. '

If only one could go barefoot lifelong! Your poem - for me, is the recipe for the best kind of feeling in life. To give freedom to feel physically uncluttered and to let life's colours and shapes control the how, why, where, when and what! Blow conformity, constraints and all - sing to the heavens and listen to their echoes. Yours in the most beautiful and inspiring piece of writing. I could happily bathe in it until my spirit turns to whatever you suggest!

Thank u emmajoy! I strive to feel that way every day...taking off your shoes and feeling the earth beneath your feet and letting life connect with you. Our earth is a beautiful menagerie of living things each with its own life force and message. Thank you for your review :)

I meant every word...

Nice rhythmic flow. Liked the words and the depth of your thoughts `bout peace. Sometimes, we all do wish do be free--free from all kinda worries but it`s hard... cus, the sun can never stay alive anymore without its raged rays nor the heart without its beats so, it`s a nice imagery you`ve plotted here to be free ... to inhale the breeze of being free. Good to read!

T, I love the straightforward beautiful simplicity of life wanting to live, to connect with the wisdom of mother earth, a smiling sunbeam, a joyous sky. This poem lightens the spirit, removes the dross from our minds and massages the soul leaving the reader refreshed, renewed. Loved it.

Your words sing out it's wonderful to be alive:

experience the healing joy of letting myself go

What a beautiful feeling. we live by so many constraints, to just let go is releasing and the greatest feeling of being alive in this world.
