New Spirits

the girl with the dandelion hair by franzi


Words search any way
Whichever
To come out
.
This scene I can beautify
Still a little bit more
With the help of the voices I hear
Singing their soul out
 .
This mystery I can purify
But all the thoughts
Talking in my head
All at a time
Get no escape
.
This simulation I can dignify
By trying once and again
To hold on to myself
 Self-pity or revenge
When I disappear for two
Maybe three days
.
I travel with ghosts
Whose bad intentions
 Make this one
A new spirit of perfection
And laments fly
In the sky
No redemption.

Don't disappear. I know the desire, and I, too, sometimes suffer the "ghosts" with the "bad intentions," but it always seems to get better...

dulce - the conversations in our heads often get in the way of a good time! i talk back to them. they leave soon enough and let me get on with my true work! steven

To spirit away mindful play at the dawn of day is a dream to shake, rattle and roll in the essence of dance, as this is a remedy to glorify and sanctify into the prying eye in your thoughts! Ha.

Have a wonderful new year. Sentiments to you, dear Dulce, and blessed are your intentions for worldly interventions of supplications.

Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.

Pfffft. There's always redemption.

Traveling with ghosts...that sounds intriguing, whatever their intentions!

Dulce, this is a wonderful poem in word and spirit and is set off so well by the illustration. Wow! Dandelion clock hair. May your words float free on the air and return to you to nurture your inspiration, as they inspire me.

Your words are so beauty-full!
"But all the thoughts
Talking in my head
All at a time
Get no escape"

It seems that way doesn't it...they just keep talking in circles contained inside our minds...but if we listen-in as a witness instead of engaging we discover that there are pauses, brakes in between...and once we see that, we realize they are not as steady,not as constant as we first imagined,something shifts and they start to pass by. The spaces between lengthen...the despair, the overwhelm lessens. New messages arise, lovely healing ones...then more space...then old messages...then space and new ones and the old voices soften to sound sound...to whispers...to memories.

Yep! Fire the old committee in your head, let the Muse take over, singing her songs yet unwritten.

Listening to those sweet 'Songs-of-Dulce', you have learned to beautify, dignify, purify, and, in those days of isolation, bring all adversities to perfection.

AWAY with laments and lamenting! Let them redeem themselves!

Really, you put some of the 'fine' in "FINE ARTS", Dulce!

Oooh...those inner voices can sometimes be too demanding.. don't you think? It's just a matter of who comes out stronger in the end .. you or them! :)
I think your poem expressed this tumultuous situation very well...
