This poem is about a feeling of being open to experience what life
is presenting with an open heart and living in the joy of the moment yet knowing that moment changes in a heart beat. I relearn this lesson daily.
This poem was written 12 years on on March 15th. Two weeks later a heart connected love died unexpectedly at age 45.
Wishing everyone wonderful and loving holidays continuing in the New Year and beyond
on a day to day basis.
SEEKER
Angels and Visionaries
traveling through
my here and now
frogs of beauty
who would be Prinzes
Mama's voice in
high adoration
on the inner air waves
Daddy on a John Deere
Waterford Crystal
warm beer
Misty Air -
Solar Eclipse -
Joy on the wing
Wanting to be
THERE NOW
Fractured prisms,
ancient wisdoms
my heart has
my head on line
Incense,
Starstones,
Sticks and Bones
Amethyst Crystal
caught in sunlight
Trailing
dustmotes
Beware the
Ides of March
Celebration,
Sound and color,
Mid-Life Crisis
Glory Hallelujah!
Going home in
a red
convertible
mustang
Ole Time Religion
Unicorns,
foghorns,
sailing vessels
put to sea
Arthur & Guinevere,
Tristan and Isolde
Ralph and Alice
You and Me
Soulmate,
Heart and Head
Out of sync,
The song unsung
Will the circle be unbroken?
Touching
Reaching
Longing
A Yearning Journey
Ecstasy. Despair.
Riding on a Harley -
Sunlight in the air
Children everyone.
Love always there
Sometimes now is
all that's needed
And to breathe
For awhile

Linda. I miss Ralph and Alice in the old black and whites.
Nice car, you found that under the tree. Good Santa.... Hehe
You and yours have a wonderful Christmas season and a happy new year..
I was just about to click off this post (as I'm usually, usually, not a fan of poetry on blogs...).
I read it and it wasn't so bad.
Have a happy Christmas day!
Michael.
Breathe and savour the season.. Happy Christmas to you, thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts.. I like them, all the best for the New Year too, Katie
This is beautiful, Linda.
Living for the day :)
Merry Christmas

What a beautiful poem! Waterford crystal and warm beer. Are Christmas memories complete without Waterford crystal?
Sugar, I hope you and all those you hold close to your heart have a beautiful Christmas filled with love and joy and laughter.
Merry Christmas,
~vk~
Lovely poem Linda.
Merry Christmas to you. I hope you had a wonderful day. X
Very Nice indeed!
Happy holidays!
Nice to meet you. I agree with the Haiku comment above, but not with the poetry comment, "usually don't approve of poetry in blogs", meaning, I think, most people who write aren't really poets. I would recommend discovering the serious poets. There are some terrific quarterlies out there and some poetry collectives and all that.
Of course people who like even good poetry are in the minority, just like people who actually like classical music. These are not the same people.
Seeker is quite good as far as I am concerned.
Ummmm, one day at a time :>
Thanks for your comment on my blog hope you had a great christmas.
Loving this poem!

Can't help it--I'm a sucker for the occasional poetry blog. And I DID like SEEKER. Thank you, Linda S S.
SHADOW has got to be my favorite. I even 'study' her stuff, I believe it is so well thought out (usually) and she so well communicates her inner feelings, thinkings, believings.
Bless you both. Please keep it up...again.
Linda - I know I've already commented once, but this line is so beautiful

This is really great, you're such a good writer, sigh. I like the riding on a Harley part a lot for some reason, it's so dreamy.

Hi Linda
The parallel paths of your poem and what occurred so shortly afterwards are astonishing.
Thanks for visiting my blog ...

Your poignant poetry ( both this one and below) immerses your reader into the depths and crevices of how you feel.
It is a searing sense of loss to lose a connected heart. Much like losing your own heart as well.To think that this was written so many years ago doesn't diminish the soreness of the pain. Then again such is life.
Beautiful.
Have a blessed prosperous year ahead. Thank you for dropping by my bloggy' home and leaving such a pretty comment:)

Yes, new options. I am investigating my own new options at this time.
Balloon Release is up to 20 released and there's a cool story, sad really, of a man putting a $8,800 ring in a balloon for his fiance. Can you guess where this is going? Check it out.

Hey, write more blogs! lol. Thank you for your comments on my page. I hope that your christmas was great! anyway, take care.
After I posted my comment here I added that gadget to my blog. I noticed that George knew how to choose me as a favorite without the gadget. I think I've done it too, once. I think you do it from your own dashboard. But anyway, the gadget should be available now.
Linda, this poem is enormous in
its scope and love. Thanks for
sharing this beauty.
