No man's land

remember the no man's land
no road long enough to take there
blurry vision of memories live where

nothing matters but water, sun and air

dancing like crazy till you forget who you been
diving deep in the ocean to forget your skin
making memories of you and only you and your zen

in the no man's land

this journey was a hell of a voyage

wide, sunny and sheltered mirage
I may sound crazy to the people of my entourage
But I remember the no man's land

I remember using the term "no man's land" as being an unknown far away, carefree place...where people
have no idea of what it really is.... and that's how you describe it; dance, swim, forget about your troubles, etc. Yes, it's a heck of a journey, definitely worth it, a memory. nice write!

We all need an escape plan. Whether that be for a moment or longer it's important to blast that song that can relieve the stress. Maybe its a palm tree or who knows what it is for each individual but as you said we all need to shed our skin. Awesome poetry!

Well-said! Thank you for reading & sharing your thoughts.

A peaceful place....a place to find refuge. In such a place, reflection and introspection become possible. However, not a place I would want to live forever......I need people! Good write. Lydi**

Yes indeed. We all need people, but we need some isolation as well. Thank you for reading.

I guess this is type of no man's land where just few want to go. It's like retrospective self reflection of personal spiritual journey. Sutendly you are alone but is not dark or depressive . There is silent joy and calm stability. Last stanza make me confuse cause the crowded but it's can your mind is full of thoughts and you wanna get ride of them. This was very pleasant and deep writing well done again.

It's "sheltered" not "crowded." I modified the last stanza but forgot to proofread it. My bad. Thank you for your kind review dear poet.

That last stanza make me confused . But I was thought it's just maybe another personal observation etc. I am glad my comment was helpful. It's really nice vibrating poem.

I have been contemplating no man's land after reading your lines Lale. Quite frankly at the moment with so much disturbance and unrest it sounds an appealing place to go. A place of perfect peace. A place to stand in awe of the silence. That's where you took me my friend. I was glad for the respite.

Thank you for enjoying this dimension with me. Thank you for your encouragement. I couldn't be happier.

i often envision a real zen...going back in creation to the days when all that existed were land and water.
No other forms of life...just a total silence...how fun it might be to be there, and be the only human...
getting to take it all in...
but then, impossible because by nature we long for company....we don't do so well alone...and this poem reminds me again of "crowded mirage" in reference to gatherings of many people...But no man's land...is
desolate...too quiet...not the peaceful kind but the crazy kind.
You are Definitely a Poet.

Actually the use of "crowded" was a mistake. I modified the last stanza, but I didn't proofread it. My intention was to refer to that dimention as a mirage that is protected from whatever harm the real world cause us. My apologies.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
