Flying on moonbeams fair
Over flowers and with bees,
Caressing a sleeping child’s
hair,
Seeing what only a Fairy sees.
Standing on a mountain peak,
Weeping at the beauty of
grass and sea.
Wind sweeping, I cannot
speak,
As if God prepared this spot
for me.
Gliding hands along heads of
wheat,
Almost golden, yet still
green.
Discovering a single red
poppy
Bravely,
gracefully greets and humbles me,
for what I have seen.
for what I have seen.
Each week, Delores creates a writing challenge for participants. This week she also asked for a poem telling what we would do if there were no restrictions placed upon us. Hmmmm...
What would you write?

Beautiful Susan.
ReplyDeleteI wish all this were true. Well, the poppy part is true.
DeleteSimple beauty, simply said.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Joanne.
DeleteDear Susan, I think if I could write with no restrictions I'd fashion a novel about the growth of the human spirit through darkness. But the thing is I am restricted by a lack of ability with regard to writing a truly literary novel. And I'm restricted by not having the type of mind--the mental capacity--to think deeply enough to do the exploring necessary for writing such a literary novel. But I can write what I do have the talent for. And so I do. And I'm so glad that your--with your great gestalt for life and your mind-bloggling imagination--write also. Peace.
ReplyDeleteWe must all write from the heart, with what direction God has given us. For me, it is in few words. For you, I hope He sends you the capacity to do that novel. I know you can.
DeleteIt only takes one to rise up and one can persevere if they choose to
ReplyDeleteHow I would love to be on that mountain peak!
DeleteWhat a wonderful poem filled with vivid imagery! Excellent Susan!

So glad you enjoyed going those places in your own mind.
DeleteWhat an absolutely perfect poem.
ReplyDeleteI think you would go to those places as well.
DeleteHow very, very beautiful. And evocative. I love the places of your heart.
ReplyDeleteOh, to go there in reality! In my heart and mind will have to suffice.
DeleteI've tried poetry in the past, but mine wasn't really that good. I need to spend some time studying and practicing.
ReplyDeleteYours is lovely.

Being a musician, you can hear the music and the rhythm. Let that lead you and you'll find the poetry that already exists in you.
DeleteI love where you have found beauty and peace. Only nature can give us that.
ReplyDeleteIt is impossible to imagine anywhere else to find such, except in the nature in and around us.
DeleteThis is awesome, Susan. You did a great job with the challenge.
ReplyDeleteDelores really opened this up for so many options!
