I pump it out
It bleeds through my skin
Rolls down my back
Like drops from a faucet
I lean in to hear a whisper and the words are scrambled
Drifting listlessly out into the universe
But the I stop and I realize I don’t need the words
The answer is in my heart
In my soul
Bleeding from my center
The knowing from eons
It is not new
And I have also known
But what is known is not always seen
Not always felt
Not always lived
Stop
Quiet your mind
A bird is heard in the distance
A fountain of water is running
Circulating over an over
Always moving but never going anywhere
The suns rays burn my skin
Makes it hard to breath
But I keep trying
Keep pushing farther
Leaning into the wind
Wishing for an escape
But it got too loud
So loud I couldn’t hear
And it got too hard to move
So I crawled
And then
I Cried
The beauty of life is revealed in an instant
One moment that miraculously becomes all moments
All the moments you’ve ever had
And all the moments you will have
The moment is now
And it can be replayed
Over and over again
Without you ever realizing it has changed
The mystery of life lies in the secrets revealed in the moments that you don’t pay attention
In the moments you spend in another time
Another place
Another thought
Come to the now
Bring your heart
Your soul
And listen to the words that seem to come from nowhere
But actually come from eons of
Your knowing
Your truth
Your spirit
Blessitude

Oh, Lorrie, wonderful soulsister! This is amazing! You are such an inspiration! You are wonderful! Your poetry is healing and beautiful and full of love and understanding and wisdom! You are a gift to us! ๐ I am so thankful for you, and you mean so much to me! ๐ I love this poem Lorrie, you are an exellent poetess! ๐ Truly gifted! Especially your empathy is exatrordinary! Keep blessing the world with your presence Lorrie, I am sure there are many of us who feel inspired because of you! ๐ I so feel like packing a good bottle of chardonnay and flying over to see you now, we would have had such a wonderful chat!! ๐
And nothing would make me happier!! How awesome would it be if we could have a WordPress “convention” where we could all meet face to face!! I am so grateful for you…because YOU inspire ME!! So many people do here. My energy…and creativity has been so elevated since I started writing here. If what you say is true then I am “giving” myself…my words…and my healing. And nothing raises our vibration like “giving” does!! You are a part of my healing…A part of my inspired heart…and I couldn’t be more grateful. ๐ ๐ โกโกโก
Loveley!
Thank you Julie!! Much love to you!
I agree with Line. Lorrie, this poem is a delightful journey to the mysterious, ebb and flow of living, searching, finding and connecting through our souls and hearts. That glorious instant when we feel at one with life. blessings, Brad
Oh Brad! I am so honored to be a part of what we have here. I’m not certain I have ever been this understood in my entire life. To say something from my heart…to be heard…and to be understood. ..it truly brings tears to my eyes. Not sadness…immense happiness because we CONNECT…and I FEEL the energy!! Thank you so much ๐ โกโก
P.S. I hope your Birthday was a blast!!
How wonderful. I’m glad you feel heard and understood. That’s a great gift. Yes, my birthday was great. Thanks!
You take us on a wonderful journey with this one. thank you!
Hi Kimberly. ..Thank you so much. This life is one wild…wonderful journey!! ๐
It is a wonderful journey you took me on! I am inspired by the visions of Love. Hugs
Thanks Louise!!! Journeys and visions of love …yes!!! Hope your Sunday was as good as your Saturday! !! Love to you ๐
I am with Line on this one. I think you tell such beautiful stories with your poetry and you have so much wisdom that you generously share here on your blog. I would love to sit around on comfy sofas and laugh, cry and share an evening away. You should compile your work into a book of poetry!! Light & love sweet thing.
Thank you Lisa…I am so thankful we met…and how cool would it be to meet in person!! We all live so far away…but I have to tell you I feel I know you better than some people I see everyday. Thank you for the suggestion to publish a poetry book…you never know ๐ I know (and have always known) I would write a book one day. Have the best week Lisa…live in love…and listen to those beautiful dragon flies!
I will. And FYI , Line left a message on my dragonfly post that she was seeing lots of…turtles. You two have something special going on dear lady!! I feel like a beautiful piece of the puzzle and love the interconnectedness of it all. Have a beautiful day Lorrie
Oh my gosh!!! I know….I read that too and it is so exciting!!! “I feel like a beautiful piece of the puzzle”….perfect…just perfect!! We are all connected and I think we will all help each other immensely on our journeys. If this isn’t all a living testament to the power of energy…I was just telling a girlfriend the other day how amazing it is…the connections here…the people who vibrate at the same level seem to connect! Love it!! Love you…so thankful …so grateful!! Blessitude ๐
Humans do have an amazing capacity
for believing what they choose,
and excluding that which is painful.
Which is perhaps why we are able to be here long enough to come to self actualization. At least I hope so!! ๐
well said Laurie – I am deeply humbled!!
I love this. I kept reading faster and faster. ๐ So much truth.
“And listen to the words that seem to come from nowhere” …love that. <3
Wow Laurie…that is how I wrote it…and when I read it I do the same…it gains momentum. It’s neat to hear you read it the same ๐
