Looking at life from the sidelines

 

REFLECTIONS ON LIFE

 

I flew to the Sun that had warmed my cold heart

after it had been broken

 I saw my heart was slowly healing

scars left as a reminder

 

I drowned in the ocean of my tears

only to find myself learning how to swim

above and through the pain called life

growing stronger and less naive

 

I climbed a mountain overlooking my soul,

 saw my thoughts swaying gently in the breeze

to the collective music of love

I have been fortunate to have received

 

I sat in the meadow of my deepest desires

with my eyes closed

to avoid disappointment

of opportunities lost

 

I knelt before God

bowed my head

ashamed to ask for anything

when everything had already been given

 

I retreated back into myself

to a familiar place

pondered all I had seen

and stayed there

 

Looking out from my window

I see life living itself

It is very beautiful

out there.

This poem was amazing. I love how you used such vivid words to descibe something so abstract. Such a sweet message, too.

i really enjoyed this piece. i love that last stanza. this has some amazing imagery. i loved how you've mixed nature and inner pieces of you like your heart and soul. a very deep and amazing piece.
