[hometext] => I think this is one of the most beautifully descriptive poems I've ever written. I'm very proud of it.
[bodytext] => I want to feel free I want to feel the soft breeze and the warm grass on my skin I want to dig my feet into the sand And listen, and watch Oh, I could spend hours on end just listening and watching To hear a windchime or laughter in the distance Or the soothing sound of water chasing water over rocks Separating from itself just long enough to flow back into a stream River, ocean, brook It gathers into one mass, inviting me to jump in Or even to just dip my toes in To see the trees standing in their magnificent glory To hear the birds telling stories And feel an insect crawling on my arm uninvited To slip in between the cool sheets on a clear summer night To feel the sweet kiss of another's lips Emotion To let the wind blow through me and replenish my soul This is the life Perhaps these are the things we take for granted far too often How sad it is to wait until something's gone to begin to appreciate it's true beauty. 2003 [comments] => 3 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 27 [informant] => Alli [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )
