Meandering Mind

There are times when there is so much on my mind that I seem to go somewhere else...a place where words seem to write themselves as if I haven't any control. Saturday was such a day...I believe there were a total of 14 poems and I've chosen a few to share.
Critique and interpretation are always welcomed!

~Simple Treasures~

Some of us, we ‘grow up’
And stop dancing, stop singing
In market aisles and libraries.
Some of us, we ‘grow up’
And stop imagining, believing
In things we cannot see
Yet know in our hearts are true.
Some of us, we ‘grow up’
And stop our curiosities, our imaginings
Of the people and things around us.
Some of us, we ‘grow up’
And are still wondering…
How long until we get ‘there’
Is there a rest stop soon.
Some of us, we ‘grow up’
And realize
That the eyes of a child
Know of life’s real meanings.


~The Woman~

The woman I was supposed to be
Walks gracefully through the thorns and
Speaks in soft syllables to the serpents.
The woman I was supposed to be
Graciously accepts the fragrant bursts
of honey soaked words.
The woman I was supposed to be
Finds expression on ivory cloth,
and in a bed of clay.
The woman I was supposed to be
Caresses the thoughts of her greatness before
placing them on the altar to worship.


~Emptiness~

I want to listen to you
Knowing your language
like a song familiar-
Catching my heart
Off guard and Open.
I want to speak to you
in a tongue familiar-
Like that song,
the melody catching your heart
Off guard and Open.
Opportunities are few for that.
Perhaps your eyes, they may
read between these lines
Seeing the purity
of my desire
and empty space.

~Haiku~

Can’t stop silly me
Dancing through lines through puddles
Smiles splash your faces


Serendipity
Proposes to me often
As I sleep soundly


Simplicity once
Thought of becomes less simple
For people like us
