All the songs and poems

A Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)

Are all the songs and poems written
Are there any more to write
I look out the dusty train window
The houses rush by
The fields and horses
and clouds
In blue sky
And stars and moon
On country hills horizons
Wait patiently on nigh
I close my eyes
And wish my one song my poem
I’ll one day write
No
Not to make me famous
Or to be so great
But so that my near and dearest
Will read
And see me clear
Like turning on a simple light

I really like how relatable this poem is on more than one level, I like the questioning of how has everything that is worth saying had possibly been said and at the same time trying to find the words that uniquely convey your thoughts and emotions..I mean after all everyone wishes to be understood, great work.

thankyou Amen
love your review thanks so much
I think that's a nice thought at the end. I know I would like to leave a body of work that family or friends would be proud to read and come to understand like an epiphany. It's a good dream. I also contemplate the first two lines of your poem. I feel like a thief sometimes even though it's not true. But we keep writing though. All in all this was a lovely poem and I'm glad that I stopped by. CD

Thanks so much
Glad you understood it
I’ll stop by yours now
You are such a beautiful soul and your poetry reflects your light and your truth. I love your work and your thoughts. The theme and lovely pastoral imagery in this poem are both wistful and transcendent. I hope your family will read your wonderful words and see the real you in them someday.:)

Xo.....:):):)!
I want to express who I really am in just one poem
So that my soul will live on in my words
Even my family don’t really know me
For who I am deep down
