Poetry has been a long-time hobby for me – a place of word and grammar freedom that frees expression to soar. From time to time, I will post my poetry and poetry and writings by others who have inspired me. So this week will be poetry week beginning with this posting today, and Wednesday a surprise quest poet will appear, and Friday another longer poem by me. We start today with a few little pieces.
the soul knows something
I do not know when thinking
but gazing into nowhere
I just am, I am here, all is here
where soul knows everything
I sit here silently unmoving still
these thoughts no longer move me
as feathers flung to nowhere feel
like something glimpsed an instant
and then forgotten and is free
as I am free
to sit here silently unmoving still
A sparrow feather flows
helpless in the unheeding wind
to finally meet the willow leaf
a kiss is born
despite everything
I will be a butterfly
where each mere second counts
an infinity of meaning
an eternity of senses
and surrender lies entirely
in each lovely instant
