Once again
I reached for the impossible
now, shrug my shoulders
nonchalant
as a whistle on the wind
from nowhere
….gusts.
Sends shivers up and
down my spine
(or was it a panicked gasp for air)
No matter
for,
It carried with it
a smile I once knew
but,
Just when I allow you in
…you leave,
(a reason, a season or, a lifetime)
So fleeting was
the moment passed
and all that happened in one
breathed-in gasp.
I let the silence speak
with its healing touch
and,
in its blessed sanctuary
am admitted to the
fountain of knowledge
where I’ll drink and know
for sure, there
is no future without love
and this truth
…sustains
Gives the reason to see
through a kaleidoscope of colour
A life less ordinary.

Life and Love:
I have never been what anyone has expected me to be. Never lied nor, had to hide my truths from anyone. Always been myself, even if being myself doesn’t conform to what is considered the ‘norm’ ….
Why be a sheep if I can be the shepherd.
Its not about getting through life unscathed and untouched by life or, love.
It’s about being in the ‘now’ moments and living for those ones that are so fantabulous we feel free to really live them and not worry about anything but that moment in time. Those are the moments which take our breath away, then we know we are living ….because we really do feel….alive!

The Perfect Poet
An award that brings pleasure
To a Daydreamer
Thank you for the nomination. I would like to nominate Life Between The Lines LBTL for the next perfect poet award.
Lovely! I loved the structure you have given it…
very well done.. 🙂
Not so ordinary – real good one! 🙂
cool, keep loving.
Beautifully and sensitively written. I admire those lives that are less ordinary.
I love this phrasing,
“So fleeting was
the moment passed
and all that happened in one
breathed-in gasp.”
The sensory response to “breathed-in gasp” is clear and sharp. Love it!
Namaste……….cj
Just so very beautiful. Love is all there is in this short life.

Hello.
I like your imagery.
Where would we all be if we did not have love (be it past or present)?
Nicely penned.
Thanks for sharing.
Yesterday With You
I meant to say: where would we all be…
This is so beautiful. I love the visual element and the flow as well.
That final string of lines just settled so sweetly in the read. Really lovely write ~ Rose
Great poem I love the last line.
Here is my entry:

Oh… Another nice one! I like the rhythm and the ‘voice’ it speaks with. And the line ‘a kaleidoscope of colour’ has me reaching for my pen! Very well done!
so sad when you finally allowed them in they left, this is an excellent poem so well done

Favorite so far!
Less ordinary indeed. I was following the flow of air along the lines. Time passed within a moment and it’s just poof it goes. We are unable to hold on to it, untangible as it is, we can only keep it within our hearts.
love it daydreamer.. my thursdays here: http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/how-i-wish/
a very soft yet powerful write. beautifully penned.
‘smile’ ‘once knew’ ‘Just when I allow you in’
…you leave,’ ~ and all of that trust, hope
‘So fleeting was
the moment passed
and all that happened in one
breathed-in gasp.’ ~ disbelief, bewilderment, hurt
but then ‘I let the silence speak
with its healing touch’ ~ there is such strength in silence ~ what a beautiful journey through unrequited love/recovery ~ beautifully hope full ~ Lib
Amazing…your words flow.

Great poem as always…
I really enjoyed your poem! Very nicely done my friend.
Loved every word. A beautiful write.
I agree completely. If we can’t be ourselves, who will?

You have a great philosophy, Daydreamer. A difficult path to follow, but a great philosophy.
amazing.
this blessed sanctuary is a special place.
this truth does sustain, and frighten a little:)
Just when I allow you in, you leave…
That is a great, sad sentence.
You are a braver soul than most!

Very much agree, live life for me and screw what the rest say, I’ll do things my own way. Not quite as nice about saying it as you..haha…but my point surely gets through.
