Walking across water

 

 

 

 

 

You are a mortal with an immortal's soul

 

listening...        

 

 

to the platonic voices of reasoning

 

owning a conscience that filled you with clarity  

 

confident hands that divided the seasons

 

composing...       

 

words of symmetry and curiosity

 

revealing your awesome beauty and mystery    

 

your two feet barely touched the dirt of the earth

 

you preferred...       

 

to walk across water or walking on air

 

gravity seemed to move your energy elsewhere  

 

the cosmos gifted you with a gratis life

 

you knew not...       

 

how lucky you were and how lucky you was

 

to be weightless and do whatever just because

This reminds me of someone so close to heart and then so out of reach. Almost like a lover never touched. Of course I relate everything to my life because I'm selfish that way lol... but honestly it touched that part of me, that waits on the other side.. with arms wrapped around my knees and simply silent...xo "breathe me"... sigh

[Muse]

I was moved writing this...the pic of the bridge...felt like an invitation to cross over.

[Lily Mae]

That's what I loved about it. The clarity is there to cross and the fog doesn't seem to be foreboding but more inviting.. like it's just mean't to be..

[Lily Mae]

Plus up above in the clouds the darkended area looks like two lovers..x

[Muse]

I know where your mind it sweetie...I hope he will breathe the same air as you someday.

[roarke]

The first line is solemn truth. Then,
"Owning a conscience that filled you with clarity" brilliant insight.

The whole tone is classic until the last two lines, bringing it to earth, the see through reveal, a common tone and statement that reflects the first line.... Super piece.

[Muse]

Thank you Roarke..bringing spiritual wisdom down to our tangible reality. That was my hope...that is our blessing.

I enjoyed this. If you dream of flying do you fly to or away from your dreams? I dream everyone is singing and I pick up my guitar and play along. It's no great accomplishment when I dream the music to every song.

[Muse]

In my dreams..when I fly...I hit ceiling..what does that mean?

[Fabian G. Franklin]

That there's something holding you down...of course.

[Muse]

:(

I always wondered...

[Fabian G. Franklin]

It may not be real but in our dreams we imagine our reality and so our subconscious presents metaphors in picture form. I actually do play guitar...but I do not know the music to every song... it's a longing to share more socially I think... of myself...the dreamer is the one who always best interprets the dream. I think David Fontana's book, The Secret Language of Dreams might help you better find your meaning. It's very interesting stuff.

[Muse]

will check it out...thank you...your thoughts...that was most generous.

[Adam Lebzo -RonninWarri..]

Nice description! liked it

[Baby Ricochet]

Beautiful poem Muse

[Muse]

thanks my friend.

[Larry Dyson]

nice transition in your "life"...gracefully executed..

[Muse]

you were part of that walk. xo

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this seems like an ode to a poet.

you seem to walk on water, but of course poets don't really...but we do listen to the platonic voices of reasoning...and try to reason things out enough to write about them..

i think we are really lucky to get to do this...and we should not forget how lucky we are.

[Muse]

and a poets "luck" should never be taken for granted my friend.

[-----]

This is so light. I felt you were in awe of this person's ability to touch everything and anything and have it always turn out all right. Very moving to the soul and the picture is perfect

[Muse]

you left out...turning it to "light"

thank you

[Renée]

I don't really pay attention to music or photos, though i am sure they might have inspired you in some way. I like to read thoughts before me. I hope you see this as a compliment, for I find they don't really need much else..dreamy almost unearthly...

[Muse]

That is an awesome compliment...I will admit...to obtaining inspiration found behind a tune that catches my fancy...or an image. I did however...start with words..inspired by inspiration itself...the pic..the words...came after...which gave this more depth I think. So yes..thank you...

[Renée]

always a pleasure ! ( :

"Because..."

And so I do, to you I say, that when it comes time to play I will play just to say, I do whatever just because. Because it intrested me, because it caught my eye, because it made me cry and laugh. Because doing something is better than being bored.
And so to you I say I will because you inspired me to push beyond the normal and see past the mundane. Because the truth is far greater than any fiction will ever be but the truth is that we are all in this together and its worth it just to try. Because every time I see a man who needs help and I can't help him, I cry a little more inside. I do it just because I can, because the spirit told me too and I figured it would be fun anyway. Because when push comes to shove I'll shove back.
And so you to you I say, I do it not because the world wants me to, because I would rather be free. I do it because I am me and I do what makes me happy.

Awesome poem and, as you can see, very insperational...!

[Muse]

THANK YOU...for nailing my vision. I thought about using the John Lennon song "Just Let it be"..just be what we are...it is what it is...knowing that we are free...to choose who we are...what we are....to be whatever..and do it just because.

You wrote "Because when push comes to shove I'll shove back."
Hell yes. It's okay to be angry...okay to cry...okay some days...to wanna live...or even die.

[Muse]

"Because every time I see a man who needs help and I can't help him, I cry a little more inside. I do it just because I can, because the spirit told me too ...."

I love inspiration that spreads! I really feel this.

[realmwriter]

Thank You so Much for the Poem you wrote and the review. :) Thats really cool and now Im feeling better just from this exchange...! :) :)

[Muse]

I think the poets move each other naturally here on the cafe. We understand one another's convictions...and conflictions.

[realmwriter]

I agree...!
