~ Iced Road

~ All is a Paradox, I am a Paradox

~ Iced Road

 

 

In a dream, in which I found myself

I hiked somewhere, I have never been

Everything so distant, it blurred my sight

Like black blindness darkened the light

You were invisible, and not seen.

 

 

The road of snow was heavy and long

The colored sky, and the clouds among

I never would find the way back home

And also, I forgot my mobile phone

But I just knew, I loved it here, all alone.

 

 

It seemed, I weren't in the modern times;

This world was just created in my mind

All was the opposite way, and in despite.

The snowy road, not even was long and white

My unconscious just loved to hide?

 

 

Was I in another century? I was not sure;

Fragments, of people flashed my mind

Nothing was glamorous here, no mankind

I was simple, like a statue, standing sometimes still

And sleepwalked the iced road by my own will

Hi Elisa,

I read this poem a few weeks ago, and touched gently on its surface. Just now I have revised, and can make no excuses for my delay. I am exceedingly sorry for neglecting you, and hope that you might forgive me. I suppose that I am like a bird that flits in and out of your lovely pieces, catching them at their finest moments- there are do many. Perhaps I am really constrained through wish to spend the proper time with every good quality these pieces have to offer, when I land.

This one is particularly strong. It has a certain air, speaks to a certain notion- it is unique. I think I would describe this piece as ethereal, but its form of uniqueness does not come from that trait alone. The lightness of the words inspire the mind to a greater wisdom. You bring awareness to the other worlds in which we live; this is done on a daily level. What you have essentially captured is a 'fragment,' of thought. The fabric of the mind is so interesting to examine: it almost has a scientific thought to it. A little purple cloud seems to pass through its content . . . as it floats by we can see and touch something rare, and then it lifts . . . What fine talent you have, my friend. I will be back for you soon, my lovely friend.

XoXo ~

Hi Brooke,

Thank you my dear dear friend, for leaving such a thoughtful, and heartfelt review for me, I know how you are, and I can only appreciate it the most! Your reviews, always make my day, they are beyond good, and you truly feel the essence and meaning of my poetry. I'm off and on too, when it's summer I try to enjoy the outside world, and I gain new inspiration to write, so no, I don't blame you at all, be as free with me as you like, I know we always come back to each other.
And I will for your stunning works too. This meant the world to me, truly. Sending hugs, and love Brooke, take good care. ((YOU)) xx

This makes me think of those dreamscapes, we create, beautiful places we have never been to before, yet because they are our daydreams, we want to grow them to larger places... explore...
A lovely poem Elisa, the form and the thought. I feel dreamy now... floating over snow, and yet, I am not cold...

And Reading this, I am reminded you were going to post a certain piece and let me know-- do, ok?

Thank you so much Sis. Yes, we want them to be real... oh and this one is not the one, I was going to post for this one, just rolled out after a dream yesterday, while I was traveling. But I remember what you mean, and I will tell you when I am going to post that piece. ((HUGS)) -xx- Thanks for being here dear.

I love being invited into your dreamscape, it always makes me feel calm and serene as though I am meditating (and your beautiful choice of music is inviting as well). Your imagery is as vivid as ever, and though you are alone on this ice covered road it feels like you are happy and centered, unafraid of abandonment. Gorgeous work my dear friend! I loved this.

Thank you dear one, again, for your wonderful words. Yes, it brings out the "loner" in me, which I adore to be from time to time. You got it perfectly. Much love to you.

The whole concept is amazing. I have always had a thing for cold countries and landscapes but in my years of life i haven't got a chance to escape from this heat of india.. ha ;) your building of the picture " iced road" enhances my interest exponentially to travel.. The last line was brilliant" and sleepwalked the iced road on my own will".. .. subconcious and concious merged together.

Thank you so much Sophy for finding the concept amazing. I had a feeling you would like this one... Oh I can imagine how you would love the snow... I am partly Asian too, but raised in Northern Europe, so true hot weather, we have only in summer, (not always) for it can be rainy too. I'm glad you could travel a bit through my words, thank you very much. :) -xx-
