a new poem


In my imagination, everything exists the way I choose to imagine it The things I imagine are in the wonder of it all: the possiblities that exist and the feelings those possiblities evoke. Imagination has no beginning, no end, no flaws. It's our playground, we create our images and we can change them. We create our daydreams. We create our world.  Maybe that's why another word for playtime is "recreation."...re-creation


 


The boy I see


 


There’s a little boy I see


He skips, he dreams, he plays,


He runs beneath the shady tree


In golden sunbeams on endless days.


 


As I gaze upon this boy


His heart of light shines from within,


His playground is a place of joy,


He holds no sadness, has no sin.


 


On his knees to feel the lawn


His fingers slide in silky earth,


With a hedge leaf on his tongue


He fears no death, he had no birth.


 


He pats the dirt where the grass is not


Smoothes it gently with his hand,


And writes upon the empty spot


I AM, I AM, I AM.

That was awesome, you're so talented. Your writings make me "see" the poems as they unfold. Very visual writing.

Thanks mac!

Mac,


What I love about this poem is that you show us that there are many ways to get to our HP. Someone told me once that as many people as there are on the planet are as many ways as there are to get to our HP. That little boy in your poem is reminiscent of all that I was as a young girl. Not questioning anything, just blind faith and belief - all coming FROM me. Thanks for reminding me again that she is in me, just like that little boy is in you.

being a very  visual person.... I completely saw (see)  the images as i read your poem and it was just   soooo beautiful.    throughout the last couple of days.... I have found myself going over it in my head &  seeing this small innocent child  enjoying life.  small but so powerful  a    "special " moment, (moments,)   in the day of a young boy. 


I also  know...that ~ ( if he lets himself)  ... he can   ( i know i will ) continuue  to remember fondly from time to time   THIS  very special little poem.... a special moment... a beautiful image. (a short inner thought ~ a kind of video ~ to laugh and feel.  ~  I know it will be that  some t h i n g  GOOD.)    I will use it. I will think of it. I will and I can.  AND.....   at those times  ~a time~  an instant~ when inside of me I am  reaching out for "something to feel"   I will pray for a moment of beauty ... an inner image of   that kind  of  *some thing that is only heartfelt,  that is sooooo  innocent ,  and so truly comforting to me.


I want to thank you for giving of yourself in this way   .. I want to thank my HP/God for our paths crossing.    I (and I am positive that others)  have captured this special moment ~   a poem ~  of an innocent young child~  I know I can  STOP and let myself imagine (JUST  within  MY SELF) this wonderful scenerio.


 


Please keep sharing-you are such a inspiration to me and I know to alot of others that are blessed to witness your special touches~ writings., like this poem.... you have beautiful wamr and memorable ways of sharing your es&h.  I  cherish them all.  You Are Sunshine ~   ((((BIG HUG)))
