An Essence of Being








I went for a walk,
in the summer forest
full of crickets and birds.
I am not there, now.
I am here. For just a little while.
Odd, isn't it?

Yesterday I danced in a warm sea.
I knew everything.
I do not remember now.

Today I wonder where I a

    Great!

    This sounds like something of yore. I didn't understand the lamalama but that's okay because the poem took me away. I liked it! Made sense cause my mind wanders from shore to shore each time I think to write! Thanks for your comments, and your interest in my insight!

    Much Love

    This poem has an old feel to it,can't really explain it...you don't come out and just state what's wrong with you,you left that for the reader...but I can tell something is wrong... ~CWM~
