I wrote this poem a couple of years ago as I was thinking back to an earlier trip I took to Greece. As you can see I love to travel and especially to this part of the world. The light there is so pure and the colours electric ~ an inspiring combination. It is this I try to capture so that others may see and understand. When I write I seize a moment in time just as I do when creating art but by putting words to paper instead of paint. My mind and spirit are filled with this creative energy and I love to share what it is I discover.
The Dance Of Life
Here I sit beneath the
olive tree
Waiting for
what I do not know
I see clouds float by on the gentle breeze
Hear the song
of the winged
Still waiting
The long grass
flows one way then the other
Lovers walk by not
seeing outside of themselves
I listen now
for the right words to come
They seem to fail me
Still I ponder
from within to hear
The sun now breaks
through the clouds
Warmth radiates
against my face
A leaf dances
Caught in the
breeze
I see its joy and now
all is clear
The answer is
told through all of these
Live for now
Breathe deeply
Accept
this moment
For I am a part
of
the clouds
the flowing grass
the sweet melody
The sun and the
fluttering leaf
We, each of us
are from this place of same
and I smile~
"On The Threshold ~ Greece"
