Once I sat for hours,
Just to watch the flowers grow.
I was at one with nature.
But then I did not know.
Once I lost myself,
In admiring the trees.
Which whispered ancient stories,
While rustling their leaves.
Just lying in the grass.
But growing in experience,
My innocence would pass.
I can't recall those moments,
No matter how I try.
When I felt the joy in life,
Laughing at the sky.

Just beautiful.
P.S. Ommmm. :)
wow!..that is almost like meditation.
You remind me of Blake. [Songs of innocence & experience] & his deep symbolism.
You write beautifully!!
:)
This is a little bittersweet I think. I really enjoy your imagery.
Cathy, I hope you feel better soon.....
I agree about the bittersweet part. Is it temporary? Cathy, please find the simple joys again.
But then again, you have to be all sad and tortured to make a deep poem, don't you?
Ah, poets, I pity y'all!
Bravo.
Loving that I can brag about my wonderful and very talented sister :)
Dan, do you THINK so?

Beautiful, Cathy. I think it takes a dash of bittersweet angst and a pinch of PMS to write truly eloquent poetry.
Cathy...Pizza Boy Here!!
I finished my 55 and posted...Hahaha!
I have my own verse to shamelessly tack onto the end. I hope you don't mind.
Once I picked some mushrooms,
'neath matter most organic.
I partook of some and laid to rest,
but then began to panic.
Where did I leave my clothing,
skinny dipping in that pond?
And who was that now leering,
over there behind that frond?
Sorry.
I used to experience extreme highs and lows. Somehow I realized happiness was in the middle.
I also realized(for myself)as we grow what was once our high can be our new low and this cycle continues as we grow.
Love these writings and the pictures with them.:)

That was lovely Cathy. :)

On the contrary Cathy. After reading your works, I want to start writing again but I have to be in the mood and sometimes that mood hits me at the wrong time. I love your works.
