My mind goes back
Memory pays respect to those places
My awareness retracts
Familiarity carries on to those places
My soul speaks in tongues
It opens gateways of shadow and light to those places
.
.
Kneeling
Before them in those places
They speak so clear
I can hear
I can feel
I can understand them and their foreign tongues
In their foreign land
The land for which I long
The land from which I belong
.
.
My words do not come forward for I can not speak
My voice is silent
Yet they hear me
They see me
They smile with me
In those places
.
My heart
My soul
MySelf
I
I understand
I am content
In those places
.
.
Slowly I turn and see
The oceans
The suns
The moons
The rings of light and color
All in the sky
Or is it below
The ground of magic and shadows of light
the dust is alive with memories and dreams
The blades of grass which dance and laugh
the waters which run spring and jump with happiness and life
Or are they
Above
.
Awareness distracts once more
I have seen and forgotten the foreign shore
The break within the mind
The moments lost in the ocean of time
.
Again
I say farewell
Those places
Shall sleep
For now
But not for long
.
.
for what was known in a dream
again I shall see
for within the slightest memory
we are revealed to what is and what shall always be

“My words do not come forward for I can not speak”
I am sat in silence…literally… and all I have to offer in terms of words is a humble thank you. Thank you for the images that formed in my mind and for the journey these magical words took me on…These are not just words…
thanks for sharing the most touching message, i can relate to for I felt as if it was my son speaking through your message. My son David crossed over in 2008, he was 19 years young, he went to “The Place called Heaven.” I know he looks down at “Those Places” he once shared with us. I know he is a step of us, so one day we too will share his message….thanks again. “Those Places”
Marlene, once again I am happy you chose to respond. somehow I feel your words are more important than mine. In relation to my losses I understand your words as truths. blessings to you and your son, and thank you for shining your light and his message
You are most welcome J. thank you for being
…For now we see through a
glass, darkly; but then face to face: now
I know in part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known.
Yes, for now; yet tomorrow you will shine, brightly;
for the next day you know more, than even the next tomorrow.
Curious…
I loved it!! Thanks for sharing your powerful message!!
Thank you Marlene for your powerful message!
I am at a loss for words. 🙂 Thank you.. and YES! I agree.
Thank You! MySoul… for the 🙂
very nice. I really need to get back to writing poetry. All these academics are making me… crazy.
Charles!!!!!! Thank you and yes you need to make lots more time! I miss your words! (as I have stated over and over the past few months!) But alas I understand school is definitely more important 😦
This reminds me quite forcefully of some lines in TS Eliot’s Little Gidding:
“You are not here to verify,
Instruct yourself, or inform curiosity
Or carry report.You are here to kneel
Where prayer has been valid. And prayer is more
Than an order of words, the conscious occupation
Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying…”
thank you.
