After a short hiatus the team at dversepoets.com has opened the pub today for more sharing of our poetry. We are asked to write no more than 12 lines re-introducing ourselves using six words - three which tell something about who we are or what is important to us and three words for things we are grateful for. I am looking forward to reading what everyone has to contribute.
This is a re-written poem with a few slight changes. The words (plus 1) I chose are highlighted below:
I want to go beyond the unfair paradoxes of this world,
experience the fluid universe,
swim through the salty brine of a cold cosmos -
till I reach that serendipitous beach where I'll find
yellow sunshine falling on driftwood,
a cool place of unadulterated peace of mind
swim through the salty brine of a cold cosmos -
till I reach that serendipitous beach where I'll find
yellow sunshine falling on driftwood,
a cool place of unadulterated peace of mind
Where horses neigh, children are safe, all ills are cured;
There, the roads are paved with sincerity, no bigotry or political foe
Outside, exquisite flowers grow;
inside, friends dancing and bountiful art abide
There, the roads are paved with sincerity, no bigotry or political foe
Outside, exquisite flowers grow;
inside, friends dancing and bountiful art abide
I'll rest in a cathedral of trees, for I will be home,
Sorrow and happiness in my journeys intertwined,
chained together in an infinite, rapturous melody
Sorrow and happiness in my journeys intertwined,
chained together in an infinite, rapturous melody
