Walking through life knowing deep in my soul where I was meant to be Thoughts and actions not those of the pack I could clearly see
I did not understand the path for my journey Instinctively, I would arrive It was as if I were acting in a play, and the final scene I would contrive
Heights of happiness Depths of depression Wondering what I’d become Confused by the wait Never giving up hope Knowing what would come
At times despairing Thinking I might be wrong Just another lost soul With age comes serenity and needed patience Waiting for the perfect role
See it and believe it Visualize it, breathe it Imagine it and it will be mine Have I lived this life before? Knowing fulfillment or did I just see the sign?
Today’s prompt is based in a poem by Larry Levis called “The Two Trees.” It is a poem that seems to meander, full of little digressions, odd bits of information, but fundamentally, it is a poem that takes time. I’d like to challenge you to write something that involves a story or action that unfolds over an appreciable length of time.
love the ingredients to this poem of yours Christine, the serenity of waiting for something to reach maturity, how wonderful to reap its benefits at the end, makes me want to slow down and take stock of the goodness I have around me, wonderful words my dear

Thank you Gina. 💕 Yes, exactly! On the flip side, the writer perhaps missed out on things along the way, because he/she was so certain of where they were supposed to be in life. 🙂💕
i can understand that, i wanted life to turn out a certain way but have realised through experience it never does, but i got instead was so much better in retrospect. always two sides of the coin, reason why I enjoy your poetry and thoughts Christine, you make room for everyone

Thank you dear Gina. Empathy is possible for all if only we try. My story here is one of intuition. I experienced very strong feelings as a child as to where I belonged and what I wanted to do and my life unfolded that way. However there was much to overcome as is the case for all of us. Heartache and pain affects everyone sadly. 😢

you have much focus, and am glad life turned out as you wanted it to, not many of us can say that.
I waited a lifetime for my happiness. I do understand. We have plenty of living left dear Gina. Yours can change course if open to receive ❤️
thank you for the encouragement Christine
A lovely poem.
Thank you so much 🙂💕
