The Quest
From fairly innocuous opening lines I had no idea where Muse would take me - the middle and end of this poem was a surprise to me, see where it takes you.
The Quest - 29 Mar 10
Aurora paints the sky
Dawn lifts the veil
The sun peeps between
Misted trees
New day
Birds serenade
As animals scurry
Returning to their rest
Shake the dew
From grassy banners
Feeling the early fire
Of the day
Touch my face
Pull the sleep
From stagnant corners
Of my mind
Awake my body
Propel me into action
To try to find me
Amongst
The remnants
Of old me
Shattered pieces
Discarded
Scattered across the lawn
Or hung to dry
Like tattered clothing
On leafless bushes
Will I find me?
I have no idea
But still...
I quest
Now written, I ask Muse what it means but all I get is an enigmatic smile...
Spring's awakening
ReplyDeleteis not just for the
birds and bees
time for us to shake off
the sleep of winter
let go the things
that no longer fit us
and leave them behind
Look to the sky
watch the sun
burn holes in the clouds
Look the the wind
feel it shake
you and wake you to today
Look to your soul
and feel it's pulse
showing you what you need to know
Ainsley... I love the visual of the tatterd pieces on the leafless bushes...naked to the world...letting go of the shreds of the old.. while looking towards what is coming
beautiful...
