Just Be

Life thrummingly beats along
in prose and song
While whispers echoing from the past
evoke memories that clammer strong

I look up at the thundrous skies
darkened with threatening clouds
that pass on by

A rainbow's hue follows across
widening and reaching within
Bringing me back to my senses
from soulful reverie

and I know that I can in stillness

Just Be

Author notes

My first piece in a very long time. Let me know truth in what you see, but try not to be too critical.

Please tell me what you think

    Classical. It's a good, solid piece. I'm new to writing so, anyhoo..
    I think the images could be stronger, particularly the third stanza. Though it's close to being bang on for the style and theme, it has a calm serenity to it and is a very enjoyable read. Personally, I'm not into the last two lines- though I'm not sure why I'm saying that because I really do think that's just me lol. And poetry is beauty, not a gaging of shock deliverence or crazed innovation. . so I respect it's fearless simplicity and Wordworth-like moments.
    "soulful reverie"
    ~ still gotta love that.

    Yeah, start writing

    I like this a lot, and it's even more impressive if you've had to brush the cobwebs off the old pen and paper. I love how you set it up to lead to the last couple of lines, and I think you did a great job of it.

    "I look up at the thundrous skies
    darkened with threatening clouds
    that pass on by"

    This stanza really captured the stillness perfectly to me.

    That was good. Maybe a 7 or an 8 out of 10. I think you Should start writing again; you'll get better as you do, and if you're writing this well NOW...
