From the naked eye,
I see the World as flat.
Even when I hike to
the edge of a cliff, there is another
platform of rock below-
a safety net-
a line I do not cross!
But, from this flat line where I stand to
the horizon line, Life is neither flat nor dull!
Life is alive with:
vivid colours, textures, hues and sounds.
Life explodes in richness and shape!
Life takes on various shapes and forms.
Sounds of life: tones, harmonies and frequencies
bend in appreciation.
Moving, flowing-growing with Life!
Travelling the world in waves Life is
in constant motion.
Giving even further Life
through breath and growth.
The World Might be flat
But, Life is not!
This poem takes us on a tranquil journey. Beautiful words, Ingrid and they share with us such a great sense of peace! Love it!
Thank you Siobhan! There are layers to this poem and thank you for appreciating them 🙂
Mmm. Loved this. Both the execution and the message!
Thanks Cindy! And, thanks for appreciating the message.
Love this! Really surprising and well conveyed.
Thanks Caitlin!!! 🙂
My neighbour was making a lot of noise at the time that I wrote this so his disruption inspired me as I was distracted by the bumping, scraping and the deep resonance of the drilling about my head. Yes, the sounds bent around my apartment.
I love how you make the shape of the earth unimportant and emphasize the importance of life itself. Well done.
Thanks Danielle…Nothing else matters by the Living 🙂
A brilliant turn-around from the prompt — emphasizing what IS rather than what is NOT. I like the layering in both what you see ahead and what is right around you. Well done, thank you!
Thanks Sarah!! I was in the poetic zone/trance during this one. I am beginning to lean towards this one for submission. Thanks for your kind compliments.
