not alone

Missing image
walking in solitude
I find love

all of me  
alive and alert

on the edge
earth
heaven

this new place
peace and passion
warm and wonder

alone yet aware
souls break through
their presence, a home
this journey, a uniting

a path
lined with trees
and wildflowers
along a river
on a spring day
or
wide open
on that soft
curved line
where the tide
meets the shore

a blend
seen and unseen

the sun, my beacon
gently cups my face
as if saying, look at me

the breeze, my friend
holds my hand
easing
come with me

    Simply beautiful, my friend. I need to read this when I feel lonely. It is a good reminder we are never alone. What comes to mind is that Jesus said, "I will never leave you or forsake you." and "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
    I don't feel alone when I'm in creation. I have a sense of peace and belonging. Beautiful write. Once again you connected with my soul. Stop doing that.

    Peaceful and lovely

    I like the message of the first couple of lines. This poem reminds me of the feeling I get on a spring day walking on the trails behind my home. I feel like I am part of the surrounding beauty. Thank you for your entry.

    THIS is breathtaking. This is beauty. This is hope. This is why there is life.
    Ever seeking souls finding a way. I am astonished. The way you so peacefully describe the most uplifting and awe inspiring miracle there is, because those things only exist within the other, with such calm AND enthusiasm- I feel this as warmth. Everywhere.

    • Hi Billy,
      I just realized I hadn't answered your comment. Thank you for seeing so deeply into this poem and your encouragement. I just sent this to the artist of the painting, I hope she likes it as well, or even close.
      blessings,

    poised

    I love the song. Great stylistic achievement; you demonstrate a great aesthetic approach to the topic, a sensitive ear for the rhythm, choice of words is precise, no redundant words. you present two worlds in a poised manner, what is revealed and what remains to be revealed are equal and both positive. I could say more, these are just introductory comments. I congratulate on the poem. Genie =)

    wow, great wording! I love that you have found the peace and love inside yourself and don't expect someone else to totally provide you with that. Contentment in yourself will make any 'outside' relationships all that more special, as you will just be adding to your world.
    great write!

    • Thank you for reading and your insightful comment! I agree with everything you have said, basically, self love is the key to all love.
      blessings,
      Michelle
  • I love this!!! A sense of being alone, but complete in oneself... what we all must strive for really!

    Such words of beauty here and a soft feeling of comfort from the forces of nature around us.

    Love it!

    • thank you, I am so glad you liked this. Yes, being whole in solitude, is IMO the key to happiness. Thanks for your thoughtful comment!
