What I feel takes me dew

drenched mingling with

nature, quietly slipping

away from reality into

reverie of fantasy;

 

imagination rambling

along where enigmatic

ambiance sets me free,

tracing a waiting trail

carpeted with richness

of autumn leaves...

 

then beneath haunted

shadows of naked trees,

from flimsy branch one

lonely leaf clings as if

afraid to let go –

 

I too feel that strength

to hold onto life, upon

which has enduring

virtuosity; when feeling

energy of exchanging

musings with whoever;

 

taking delight in shared

stimulating atmosphere,

for what is life but the

meeting of like minded;

 

we fall from dreamy

waterfall into flowing

inspirational rivers of

thought, soaking our

aspirations while

quenching thirst

for wake of new

tomorrows.

Hi Jack,

I think us writers need to chase our dreams, they are so magical when we are able to create and have fun too.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.

Hi insert,

so glad you liked my words, I just had to express the way I was feeling.

Thank you for reading and letting me know.

Holding on to life like a  clinging leaf: quite a picture! especially as we get older. And the stimulations of shared conversations, and fellowship flow, inspiring our thought into rivers.

I empathise with that, though also it means to me the flow of refreshment and guidance from the Spirit of God once in relationship with him.

Hi Rhiannon,

I think it's so healthy and important to have somewhere to share thoughts, and express what we're feeling.

It's always nice to hear others views.

Many thanks for sharing yours.

your poems are always so comforting :0) I admire so much too, how you express feelings, completely abstract things, in words. You really are a magician!

Good morning Di,

it's warming to me that you find my poems comforting. Sometimes I just like to escape the realities of real life, which is so much easier now I'm retired, but then I've always been one for drifting off into my imagination.

Thankfully I have a partner who keeps me grounded, we're like yin and yang. with me the female who is away with the fairies, while he's the man that supports me, but has his feet firmly grounded in the here and now, which is not a bad thing at all.

Many thanks for your kind words which were lovely to read, and I'm happy you liked.

Don't let go of that flimsy branch Jenny. A bit of mulch round your roots and a mild winter and you'll be grand, I'm sure.

I completely agree with what's been said here about escapism. Reading the words of others and writing my own takes up part of every day for me now, armed with my little note book and my little phone. 

Your writing is particularly inspiring. It takes me to your places where I have never been and to similar places of my own that perhaps I should appreciate more than I do. You're a regular wake up call.

I'm sorry it's taken me a while to read this. I've been away recently (twice) and I'm playing catch up. I'll try harder from now on.

Hi Turlough,

I'm overjoyed that you find my writing inspiring, especially as I'm having writers block at present...though I'm sure now I;ve spoken it probably will return, wink

I always welcome your comments and completely understand about catching up with reading, so no apology needed.

Thank you kindly for reading and sharing your thoughts.
