Lost in My Wildness

Lost in My Wildness

A Poem by MsJewel



I loosen my hair, setting it free,

and just like that…

                        I’m free

to catch the warm whisper of the wind

Free as the rustling leaves up above

stirring the birds, sweetly…the sound

 

Lost in my wildness, like a stream of fresh water

nourishing an ever-increasing thirst for all of life’s vigor

 

But it goes deeper than that

I’m not fighting against time

but longing for a life to flow clean,

            with passion

                        like poetry

Hungering to live among the wanders, the travelers, the poets

Surrendering everything

to create a life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in my imagination

 

Call me a tramp,

            or a gypsy

But I’m not looking for anything

                                    nor am I aimless

My aims are just different than most

 

Lost in my wildness

                          My lover is calling, 

                                                    but I’m not answering

Featured Review

It starts off giving the impression of a woman, experiencing a wild and invigorating outdoor environment; embracing and almost seeming at one with it. Then, at the very end; there is a gesture of defiance. When in the last line, she refuses to answer the call of her lover; preferring to be lost in nature's arms instead...

Thank you Thomas :) Julie
That was pretty great. I can identify with the desire for freedom and this poem invoked that desire. I like that it set the foundation with you freeing your hair and catching the wind.....

Thank you Jim. :) Julie
Love this opening line;
“I loosen my hair, setting it free,
and just like that…
I’m free”
It belongs in a beautifully singular moment in time and speaks to a truth that feeling free is a perspective we can create for ourselves. Loosening your hair, and feeling your feelings loosen with it. The poem just falls beautiful thereafter. Lovely poetry

Oh, Julie, it has been too long since I've read you. The imagery you employ is always so vivid that I can see you running along the beach...not a care in the world. You are...and always will be...a free spirit. Wonderful poetry, my friend. Lydi***

I think you have always answered one lover...and that is your muse.
This is imaginative and makes the reader want to look at his or her life...and set a goal to have this kind of freedom. I like the layout as well....that in itself is free. Outside the box.
