Power of Thought

All I feel?, isn't all thats known 
always scared you'll leave to go

Gnawing of fears you'll finally see
what is growing inside of me
my body spent weak, my spirit cant fly
glitter is fading, the pain of the fight

The mystery is fading to faraway nights
to beautiful tragedy and lovely twilight's'
imagination set loose into the mist
sets my soul flying and I wont be missed

Dragons and faeries soar in my heart
sharing a love is what I'm about
beautiful verses flowing inside
sometimes coming from lists in time

Spectacular failures and roaring success
they bring me peace till marrow is hit
what will come out we'll never know
muse has her way and we're on with the show

Riding a Unicorn throughout space
wasn't a dream I had been graced
but here in words I was set free
rhythm and rhyme in constant eddy

Painting a picture in black and white
isn't that easy as some will fight
watching print till blurring are lines
furrows appear in the frown of my mind

No miracles are sought and none to be brought
I live to feel in the power of thought

worry not

we will not leave you all alone and I'm sure that your loving family will always be there for you, too. Your body may be weak, but your indomitable spirit seems to fly with every wondrous poem and line that you write. (oh, but you would be missed) As your poem states, indeed, there is power in thought. That would make a good title: "Power in Thought." These are very powerful lines: Painting a picture in black and white isn’t that easy as some will fight watching print till blurring are lines furrows appear in the frown of my mind Love, Cat

I had thought to call it power of thought lol Get out of my head woman ha ha ... really did ... But wasnt sure .... I Know I am never far from people to talk to , but like everyone I get vulerable and this was what came out wasnt sure if I should put it on as it wasn't finished, but one of my friends said to put it on , her words ? 'they can only hate it' ... I dont know about that line 'I wont be missed' I dont even know why I wrote it ... Subconscious maybe ? .... Cat am so glad you liked this one and that stanza you picked is one of my favourites as well Big Hug Much Love Jayne x x x

Thoughts

As they say, usually when one of our senses is taken from us, be it accident or ill health, there is a strengthening of the other ones. I do so believe that to be true. A frail body has hidden, then shown the world what wonders that are in the mind. Look at Steven Hawkins, world famous physicist, or Helen Keller, so on and etc. Hang in there kid, I don't want to have to miss you! I love your poetry, and your reaction to my criticisms. [BTW] I don't have any! Awesome job! L & Hugz, ~Gee.
