Searching...

a little searching of self~

 

 

 

I search my soul
with each sunset
standing, arms outreached
in awe of sequined skies
as wind carries clandestine thoughts
through tangled tresses
to become only whispers
between Angel giggles.
~
I search my heart
with each new sunrise
hoping for strength
but here it is...still all a-flutter
dangling from my sleeve
screaming my vulnerabilities to the World.
I am just a lady; a flower
filled with passion, compassion
and I don't know how to change,
or if I would even want to.
~
I search my mind
hour upon hour
a tug of war amidst emotion
where beautiful flowers fail to bloom,
for here lies cold, hard reality;
the battlefield where all meet
to contemplate consequences of my actions
and try to decide my destiny,

but when all is said and done,

I shall follow
the path of petals my heart leaves ~

"dangling from my sleeve
screaming my vulnerabilities to the World.
I am just a lady; a flower "

"just"
No you are a lady capable of exposing her inner beauty
and I do not believe you would not change if you could.

This is just wonderful. Also very reflective & familiar.
Familiar in a sense that it feels like I have a personal understanding
of the meaning behind the words. Great one!

[R J Askew]

I enjoyed the psychological progress and intelligence of this poem. I sort of move in the opposite direction, with everything starting in the mind, which tends to stifle with hard realities. Above all I applaud your conclusion. We should not be repressed, as far as possible, poets especially.

The complete search ( spirit, heart, and mind). Wonderful imagery and lovely "hints" of alliteration. A deep and emotional write well penned.

[Leo Gems]

Imagery at its best! This is an amazing piece with so much thought and feeling. Beautiful Lynda!

I have to say of your work I've read so far this is perhaps my favorite.
eloquently written and very since, truly personal.
the imagery simple but profound, and the voice never overbears but is always present throughout.
a really fantastic piece. well done.
