I Am

I AM Being
Oblivious Grace, Eternal Serenity
awareness ebbed
languidly infused
undisturbed, ubiquitous

Thought stirs essence
a seed of need quivers, a fidget
flutters the fabric
irradiates a candle far away
now to be forever perceived

rippling breeze gently brushes substance
a yawn takes space from me
a spark of perception
I own interest

a quest incites energy
born exploding a singularity

colourful bursts of vibrant brilliance
shatter the dark

light streams -
swirls magically in whirlpools of incandescence

a gasp
within, a knowing is allowed

i am manifest

freely wrapping, vaguely knotting
roaming
gathering knowledge

endlessly
through myriad experience
illustrious time
immeasurable emotion

occasionally to circle back
for a Day in Benevolent Grace
until a dream again stirs desire
and boredom compels to explore
to remember

no destination
forever somewhere

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

dreams of beaut y

"undisturbed, ubiquitous"
fave line

languor about this thats pleasant
and a sharp underlying meaning
about taking that pause midstep
for me anyway to examine
something more then just
the sense of the ordinary

Tossed in the leaves of

Tossed in the leaves of ancient thoughts
your spring poem gives a vitality to its message,
clothed in words of colourful description,
we can read this many times
and each time get something else...from somewhere!

roving down the corridors of a hospy i looked around

at every sister,
but couldn't find one like you
wow…
I begged for dictionary to improve my vocabulary ,
they all laughed at me
mad maybe!
ask for oxygen or an intravenous injection
or take one a side maybe…
what blasted dictionary
I had to come home to bathe in your loveliest
of loveliest poetry

until a dream again stirs desire
and boredom compels to explore
to remember .........wonder f u l l l l l l
