she remembered

and as she sat, 

perched upon the volcanic shoreline

she remembered …. 

wind cavorting across her cheekbones 

daring her to join the dance of life

and she sank 

without realising she was 

cultivating her own moment 

blue waves crashing into white foam 

offering the everlasting 

she remembered …

dancing the eternal 

shedding 

now 

and she felt 

tears stream along her windswept 

cheekbones 

as she wandered in her own

gratitude of existence

tears can be of total sadness, but they can also be tears of joy, or tears of understanding life, oneself...
coming to terms...she found a reason to live...she remembered why her existence was important.

quite like this one KWP and so sorry I missed it first time around.

a great rush of inspirational poetry KWP. A warning to us all, to stop and ponder the wonders all around us, for if we do we may just find our own inner understanding

Good morning,
For me your poem is about life and how important it is to live each day in the present.
To be grateful…
When we are in touch with nature our impressions of our lives changes.
We feel the magnitude of what beauty is around us. The wind, the ocean, etc…
Loved your poem,

Those moments are so precious. Being close to the natural environment puts things into perspective for me. I find solace there. I really enjoyed this write and how it made me feel. I find freedom in moments like these. Hope you are doing ok hon. Good to see you.

It is difficult to define my first impression after reading your poem. I had to think hard about the message. I needed time to understand the punch line. I admit I really like your writing style. Your poems are full of beautiful feelings worth paying attention to. I admire your talent. Greetings!

Hey You!

Thank you as always for reading and I very much appreciate your honest thoughts :)

I guess this one was about remembering to live in the present, that we can have winds of emotions stirring up all round us which can direct our thoughts all too easily. Sometimes we forget to fee grateful for all that we already have.
