Feeling Again

A prose poem by my girlfriend, Kelly

Feeling Again

By Kelly

February, 2012

Feelings, they are a sumptuous banquet

I savor and drink from the cup of their fathomless mysteries

Attempting to understand their challenges concerning love and fear

They tease in both gentle and harsh parables

Creator speak to me within and feed this hungry soul

Ignite the wisdom of my flame with the passion of your desire

Fling truth naked through windows opening within the chambers of my heart

Free me to fly with feelings of raw wonder

Show me who I am in the glory of mother nature

A Metaphor likened to frail flowers covering a field

Which blossom in delight as garments cloaked by the sun

They sway and dance gracefully in the breeze of life

And whisper their fragrance like ethereal ghosts

Brewing an effervescence of memories

Seething and bubbling to the surface of my mind

Enabling knowing to embrace myself within all life

Memories come from ancient times and roaming of strange lands

When the old ones, angels, spirits and gods of magic

Walked with humanity and kissed our trembling souls

With miracles of abundance in the beauty of simple ways

Alas, these days are forgotten by the world's people

They breed senselessly with other races and cultures

In a colorless blend, their heirloom seeds have dissolved

Tribal rites of celebration, myths and natural ways cast aside

The roots are shallow, with an unquenchable thirst for Mammon

And they whither with addictions of drinking material delights

May we cast aside this siren call of consummation

For it leads to insensitivity, deafness of life

And seek what is calling inside to unfold itself

The grail cup of Nature is being offered by feeling 

Just unheard through the noise of modern life
