JUST HERE


I dedicate this poem to
Trisha, who has missed me; to Steve, who has left Blogland and I'll miss so badly :-(
and to
Calli, who has come back … :-)

________________

Island of peace
And of untold dreams
I am just here

How would I leave
With no good byes
How could I?

I saw the light
Coming in search of me
I saw the light
Leaving me behind.

I saw it giving me
A second chance
I followed the light
But its long steps
Were of a giant
I could not get that far.

It kept seducing me
But in the way
I met fright
So I could not get
That far.

Drowned in black waters
Lost control
While the light shone
Up on the blackness
Of my tiny throne.

It kept inviting me
The sky turned violet
The light got brighter
Sparkling in my eyes.

So I could see
The rainbow
The crescendos
Adagios, minuendos
And the sound of music
Helped me get
Where my light
Now so bright.

Dulce, this is a fined dedication, as I too welcome Calli back, will miss Steve, and want to meet Trisha. You deliver excellence, consistently.

Appreciated as always!

Dulce, that God damned fright always shows up in the way, don't he? Yes, a violet sky and a light illuminating yet soft, to me anyway. Can I lay my head on your shoulder now? ~rick

Sometimes it is to be the one who walks quickly but our fear is that we delay, the fear is achieved, the fear of not knowing how it will be with him Oeller. A kiss.

Hi Dulce. This is a nice poem and it matches pretty well with the picture. You know what, in transcendental studies, there is a thing they call the "inner light." It's something that is found in each and every being. If one can get to that point of illuminating the entire being with the inner light, one can experience oneness with the universe and enlightenment. On a side note, in occult philosophy, the umbrella on your picture symbolizes higher powers that take control over the human mind. I'm not really sure how you interpret it, but to me, since the umbrella is far away from the person and the light is at the center, it looks like one has found freedom while in search for the truth.

Ok, so what the hell did I just say? I think I should really stop sniffing this mosquito repellant...

Anyway, thanks for sharing your poem.

Peace and respect,
Ryhen

I was sad while reading this, thinking of Steve. I know he is going to love this, like he does all you do. This is so wonderful of you sweet Dulce.

How well you write and how you find the depth of my soul

This inner light I think they say if we find this we can find our way even without opening a door or even looking out a window.

Una belleza.
Esa es la luz que nos guía y nos impulsa, a veces nos lleva demasiado lejos otras parece no moverse..., hacia ella vamos de cualquier forma.
Siempre movilizan tus letras y tu luz.
Gracias.
Besos:)

Pure beauty in this poem, Dulce and in your generous dedications.
What can I say but to thank you once again...and it is so obvious to all of us where the true beauty lies

...and that my twin is in YOU!

Dulce, I am so sorry, Sweetest, to have come so late. I was with myself, for a while. And I should have come earlier, to read this... I so needed it. It's just right, and just beautiful... for my soul. Thank you for sharing it.

Hugs,
Nevine
