Lasting Vision

If I could take the weight
that burdens your mind
I'd bundle it up and
send them through time

A yesterday will come
today a gentle dream
all that's left in sight
drifting velvet gleams

Eternity exquisite
awaits a needful soul
beauty to infinity
within an angels hold

Freeing from earth's pull
flying winds of right
pain is just a memory
a spirit does excite

Memories have erased
as divined to be
but living deep in energy
wells of love for thee

Loves the ~Flow~

Love this one my friend..the flow is truley wonderful..was very easy to read was done before I knew and the sentiment of it is always touching for who doesn't want to take away the pain that a loved one feels and make it all better for them.. Beautifully written.. ~SweetSpirit~

Thank you for your kind comment, I am a music teacher/Singer so a lot of poetry, for me, it does have a beat or flow, I do write freeform but that tends to be whims or serendipitous inspiration most times ... I appreciate the read and the comment, big smile Regards Jayne x x :)

Jayne,

your flow is awesome here. I admire your ability to write so smoothly. Stanzas 2 and 3 are perfect, I think, and I love "drifting velvet gleams". Please do correct the odd (typo) and reconsider one of your [word choices]. If I could take the weight that burdens your mind I’d (bundle) it up and send them through time - Freeing from (earth's) pull flying winds of right pain is just a memory a spirit does excite Memories have erased as divined to be but living deep in [soul]-> already used in stanza 3 (effectfully, I think) wells of love for ->? for who? Yours, ~Nina

Sunshine is ......

Sunshine is good for the soul, and you seem to spread it everywhere. I would bundle [the words] up, and send them through time. Glad you are enjoying the sun, stay out of the wind. L & Hugz, Gee.
