Harmony Breathes In

I see your heartbeat in every man

and I can hear your mind

even though you hide

behind the sun.

You disappear

into places of mystery

where you survive

inside your fun.

You see yourself

as the lost make believe

and leave no room for reality

to ever be the same.

All those bridges you are burning

have you drowning

inside of your

own shame.

You want to vanish

into a spiraling truth

and be heard

by your feelings

while reaching out.

There is no such thing as honor

when sitting on a velvet seat

where you only shout.

Your tears will soon pass

when you think

of the anticipation

of the dreams you had

in your cradle.

Harmony breathes in a quiet breath

lasts forever

if it is able.

The price we have to pay for being inconsiderate and downright mean to those who love us, but get no love in return, is loneliness and friendless in the end. To be so selfish as to think they are superior in a love affair is a shame. Those who take pleasure in hurting others is a sub-human and not worthy of a second glance. The only thing is they hide that side of them until the hook have been swallowed before showing their true selves. Good poetry.

Many places and journeys you took me in the poem. You open the door to many questions and led the reader a interesting ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Sounds more of a discord than harmony is this lovely write Neva. A cacophony of truths and harmony all sung on key. Nicely pen'd as always. Much enjoyed!

Thank you Frieda :)

There is harmony in our chaotic life and relationships but we have to slow down and find it for when we breathe we take in air and thoughts and then exhale our processed outcomes. We want to harmonize with heaven, Mother nature and even our fate to feel that we are not our own island in a vast universe and oceans wide.
You always capture us with the magic of your words and intellect...:)
