Lose your self
lose your self
stand in the dappled shadows of time
see with river eyes
breathe in and out the glinting currents intertwined
let love move
in perpetual motion, theirs, yours, with mine
stand in the dappled shadows of time
see with river eyes
breathe in and out the glinting currents intertwined
let love move
in perpetual motion, theirs, yours, with mine

"What the world needs now..."
alan
this piece is so fulfilling.. thanks for making me feel so positive after reading this :)..
Your poem inspires one:
fill this body
take shape, rising in equal light
from a new sun
the day begins, see shadows fall away
your fingers move
the first, unfamiliar reach of life.
"see with river eyes" - marvelous! It's all love, every breath and molecule, and you are the poet of love...
TLR, in my own experience of it, it's more of a visualization, almost a prayer, than instruction.
Snowsparkle, woman becoming a river, I shouldn't be surprised that this hit home for you.
Michelle, thank you!
Pat, I wish we could, I wish we would!
Mermaid, thank you!
Alan, yes. You certainly get it. I wish more in this world would.
Lee, thank you!
Cliff, oh you honor me, to think my poem might inspire another. Thank you.
Brenda, every breath and molecule. It's there, if only...
Word verification: gefeod... isn't this an Anglo Saxon word? (Dale?)
I love "see with river eyes"!
And the subtle rhymes, again...
Is this form something traditional that I don't know? It is quite irresistible!
And I see Cliff was inspired by the form, also.
A beautiful place to live in, this poem.
Ahhhhh...thanks for the respite.
Firebird, if it is a traditional form, I'm not aware of it. The form of this came out of my desire to alternate a short, more emphatic call with a longer, more soothing response. The rhyme seemed to me to fit well with the second line as part of setting up that rhythm. Thank you for your kind words.
Lori, thanks as always for reading!
mb - this is my plan. soothing and beautiful!
