As I sauntered almost drifting in slow motion,
eyes freaky...off the wall
gaze into oblivion unaware...
as mesmerizing harmonies
drifted on the breeze,

many colours transcending
across the ancient fields and valleys,
a trance like state
our eyes tantalized
by what we see...
but suddenly becomes unobtainable,

communities seem to undulate
like waves upon an ocean,
painted faces locked in
their own minds...seperate and free...
racing like wild horses on the wind,

darkness now ever present,
precious dreams wrapped in black velvet...
as the music rocks a nation
sending out wave upon wave
of hypnotic sounds...
blending like colours on canvas.

new Hi! Jenny amazing and beautiful, just great. The way you write it, capturing in colour and images. Like you say roll's of the tongue. Great loved it all. They are stating now disco light's some affected from colour and spinning. Stanza Many colours transcending across the ancient fields and valleys, a trance like state our eyes tantalised by what we see but suddenly becomes unobtainable. My word what an achievement of words. julie xx julie xx

Thankyou so much Steve for your fine comment. I love that line too, it kind of reminds me of dreaming in the dark, darkness always reminds me of black velvet for some reason. Thankyou for reading this poem, it's always appreciated and glad you enjoyed. Jenny.

Congrats on the cherries, Jenny - this is stunning! 'painted faces locked in their own minds...seperate and free... racing like wild horses on the wind,' - really love this imagery, a beautiful poem and my new favourite of yours, too. Have started reading your story now and that too is just as rich and descriptive as this is! I'm only up tp Pt3 but I'll let you know what I think when I've finished - think it's brilliant so far, though, really enjoying it! Really well done with this, you captured the spirit of the people really well, I think :) Hope you have a lovely weekend, Rachel xx

Hello Magic, I guess even though you are too young to remember Woodstock, I'm sure that the festivals now are not so different. So it was very kind of you to leave such a nice message. Thankyou. Jenny.

Dear Pia, that's really kind of you to come back and let me know. I really do appreciate getting cherries, so I'm on cloud nine at the moment. Thanks again. Jenny.

Hello Rachel, thankyou so much for reading, it's so great to hear from you. I'm very happy that you are reading and enjoying my story so far. I'm really glad you captured the spirit of the poem, having been to festivals in my younger days, I was able to take from that experience as well, so it was a lot of fun to write and ponder over. I really appreciate you letting me know what you thought. Thanks Jenny. xx

Love this poem. Reading it through it was mesmerising, I was imagining someone in a meditative or trance induced state reaching for a higher plane. V.C.
