breathe and know
I'm inhaling the sky; I will
kiss clouds with my words

love the words for being mine
I will
understand the moon and

and succumb to salt-water; I will
comb the tattered yesterdays
from my salt-streaked hair
I will
know better than to whisper;
I will
smile in the mirror
and be glad to see it's me.

Really beautiful, an understanding of the nature that lies dormant in the majority of us.

Wow girl.
Is there a poem of yours i do not like? I think not.
I love it.
And, though it used the same words, it doesn't sound repetetive.
I love the way you describe...
This part caught me
"I will
understand the moon and
become a grain of sand
on the beach
and succumb to salt-water; I will
comb the tattered yesterdays
from my salt-streaked hair"
I had a great image of you combing yesterdays out of your hair...
Great write hunni.

It is an excellent outlook on life itself. Setting and meeting goals is an extremely important aspect of life. Without goals (dreams if you wish) we would just flounder in the sea of uncertainty. Seems at your young age you have already realized that, old soul.
Much love,

Oh, I like this so much. This is so liberating ...so empowering...so self-actualized. Just what I needed to read right now. Bravo!

Aww, Nora... yw. Not that I did much. lol. I truly love this poem, it's been a long time since I was actually touched by something so optimistic and positive. Usually I just scrunch up my nose and say "ick". lol. But this is really beautiful, and so "you". I love it. :)

Very vivid and poetic! This reminds me of the ancient Celtic poetry of Taliesin. Excellent piece.

This is so..... wonderfully you. Incredibly wise, strong, insightful... touching. It is, as it always is from you, so very much more than the words on the page. I envy your clarity, Nora - I truly do. You are (and ever will be) wise beyond your years.
I am sort of intrigued by the revision. (I was here previously and hadn't the time to comment.) I understood, and somehow miss, the prior ending of "(I will)". Though the words are used thorough the piece, the added italics at the conclusion were... rather moving I thought. I will not question or second guess why you removed them... but... I must confess that I will reinsert them (at least in thought) each time I read this piece. And... I will, re-read this piece.
Another masterpiece,
SNM |
