In The Spirit Of Things

In the spirit of things…

 

         I embrace a ring of fire

         For it is what lights my passions

         That guide me to my lifelong destination.

 

In the spirit of things…

         I embrace the winds of change     

         They keep me from becoming complacent

         When I have achieved a dream.

 

In the spirit of things…

         I embrace the raging storm

         For it keeps me calm in the eye of a hurricane

         Washing away my spontaneous sins.

 

In the spirit of things…

         I embrace Mother Earth

         For without her my life would be

         Without a solid foundation that are my roots.

 

In the spirit of things…

         I am the flame

         I am the breeze

         I am the rain

         I am the soil

 

Making me immortally human in the eyes without a face.

In The Spirit Of Things I believe that this leaves a lot for my mind to ponder upon! I loved how you stated in each stanza how in the spirit of things you would be this or that, and to me we can do just that in the spirit of things! BRAVO on this poem!

Great intensity here although I stupidly disagree with some of the impressions shared, not to anyones fault other than mine, but that doesn't take or add to the journey expressed. In the spirit of things could just be an expression, a declaration of intent and/or a descritpion of metaphysical qualities and so it could go. I guess then it would depend on the reader what meaning to associate to the words kindly shared. It only then became challening to me at then end. As the I never is. Only becomes and hence I become or I am imbued. The I can't ever be the performer of the action and the one feeling it all at once. I think that definition is in proximity of omnipotency and omnipresent.

But then again if I wasn't this stupid I woudn't have to comment on that fact.


Great intensity!

Thankyou

The great thing bout poetry is it is open to interpretation and there is no wrong way to see a poem. For we all see things differently through our own eyes.

[Rene Salinas]

Yes indeed I just did not want it to make it sounds as a criticism ....

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Nope, ;like I say to each his own.

[Frieda P]

Gorgeous statement here Dale, you seem to be on a different path these days within your poetry, muchly enjoy the courage and strength this one conveys. We are all things indeed.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much Moonbeam, when we are at one with nature then we are complete.

[Frieda P]

Only if they share their cocoa and coffee beans. :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

haha, I can't argue with that.

[Frieda P]

:D I didn't think you would....

[TL Boehm]

I embrace the raging storm
For it keeps me calm in the eye of a hurricane
Washing away my spontaneous sins.

so many of us run from storms, from threats instead of hanging on and riding it out. Love this part - love the whole write.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you so much Tammy, always a pleasure when you enjoy my work.

[Jennie Baron]

This is probably my favorite of all your recent poems! It's brilliantly laid out and amazingly well stated.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you so much Jennie, that brought a huge smile to me face.
