The Journey~

Missing image





Turn my pages gently,
for fragile is the heart that dwells within.


I will not allow superficial things
to cause me one more tear
or waste one moment

better spent gazing into his eyes.


My fingers could be picking daisies
watching his smile

as he pulls them from my hair



    and we fall

 
           

    into the sweetest garden
      which is life


realizing it is not which path we choose
that truly matters in the end,
but the beauty

in every starry night,

the blessing of each sunrise
and the wonder


of the journey...




♥♥

Author notes

Write about "Since Feelings is First" (an ee cummings poem that changed my life), and explain what it means to you.


since feeling is first

by ee cummings



since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom


lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

    Wow

    Another amazing poem. I liked the way you used visual art along with the words in this. It gave it a sweet, summery, floaty feeling that accompanies love often. It was sweet and sentimental, and nostalgic, and.... I think I'm running out of words... (or space...) lol on this one. Great Job!

    You can always tell a true friend for they accept you for what you are, not for what they want you to be.

    I see something in the first two stanzas that we have talked about lately and I'm glad to see that you are looking into the eyes of those who love you rather than the backs of those who pretend to love you.

    As always sis you pen such beauty.

    There is a dedication here and it is the same a awakening to wisdom caught in the last breaths of the poem. It is not the goal, but the journey and who you share it with that matters. Life is all about process. Your poem lets it come to view in a way that pulls the reader into the picture. Well done,
    Love, Tom B.

    Oh my... This is such a beautiful piece! The gentle wave of adoration, of soft intensity; pouring within the lines - so very well composed. You have such a graceful way with words, weaving each emotion straight to the readers' heart!

    Excellent piece!!!

    "...the beauty

    in every starry night,

    the blessing of each sunrise
    and the wonder

    of the journey..."


    Sighhh...You're right, my Friend...I DO get it. There are several profound sayings I can tell you here (not my own words, but others')..."The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." ~ "Life is a journey, not a destination." ~ "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." Many others would suffice...but then, they pale in comparison to the loveliness of this piece, to the beauty which dwells within your heart. Life is far too brief as it is, Sweetie...Enjoy it while you can. Even when others throw bricks at your garden, keep planting seeds...they WILL bloom. Good luck in Timothy's contest. Wanda
