COME SHARE YOUR POETRY
Pain is such a beautiful thing to write about, especially for me. I enjoy writing out my feelings in the form of a poem.
Come and share some of your poems that you would like to get off your chest or even just to inspire or give a message to others who might be dealing with the same thing!
To kick off the conversation, here is one of my recent ones:
FREEDOM IS A THING WITH FEATHERS
The ashes rise
into the sky,
as I burn away
all of your lies.
The fire growing
within my soul,
tearing me apart
yet it makes me whole.
The fluorescent wings
grow on my back,
catapulting me into the sky
and not turning back.
The past is the past,
remain in the present.
The pain won't last,
but only if you won't let it.
So I rise and learn to fly,
fly away into the abyss,
like a caged bird in the sky,
the air in my hair is bliss.

Om Namah Shivaya
Offering Dry Wood
I don't remember my
past lives, I
Recall my
Past living deaths
From this life
The bungled fall, my
After many weird trips, my
Mistaken identities, my
Too many urns.
I wish I
Was Shiva.
I could try
To revive, I
Would be a Cosmic Doctor, I
Would bring back life, I
Would save someone
From (the absence of) dry
Or wet (or any) kind of breath, He
Shows
There is no reincarnation,
But the un-birthing of death.
@ThadSterling This is absolutely beautiful!
@Songbird2625
I am very glad you liked it, thank you <3
@ThadSterling wow! as someone who found this concept to be very unique it helps me still relate to the concept of celebrating what makes us alive.
@Songbird2625
Thank you, woke up feeling kind of off/down/wanting to just sleep the day away, which isn't an option. I loved the flying freedom of your poem, not to mention the urge surfing qualities, good reminders to soar through pain, if we have to, and I like the idea of it being a freedom flight if that makes sense, the flight to/through the abyss is the very way out of the abyss.
@ThadSterling I am glad that my poem could inspire you today. That is why I wrote it, after all. Thank you for your kind words. This is the reason why I continue to write.
@Songbird2625
Please do :) I am trying to do the same, so thank you for the inspiration to keep at it! <3
Here is a poem I wrote. I think it is very motivational.
Obstacles
You have passed the start line
And you're losing breath fast.
You're out of energy
And you passed your breaking point.
You look ahead
And see the finish is near
But you don’t think
You can make it pass.
No matter what goal you set
Or what path you take
They will always be obstacles
In your way.
They can make you lose hope.
And the end of the rope.
They can take your breath away
And crush your heart.
They can make tears roll down the cheek
And bring you down.
They can take your soul away
And cause so much pain inside.
You just got to
Keep your head up
And keep on pushing
Pass the obstacles
Until you reach your goal.
I love the meaning behind your poem and the message that it is sharing, it is very inspiring 💛 Thank you for sharing!
@FusionX33 love how you summarize that the obstacle can be the way! how we see it matters.
@Songbird2625
I love it too good 👌👌
@Songbird2625 I know your with the angels in heaven above,I ask them to bless you and send you my love. A part of me was snatched away on that very fateful day, one-day when my time has come I'll get to hold you in my arms again, but till that day I hope you know I miss you son and love you so. ❤
I now God is watching over you my Angel in heaven . My baby boy
This is a really heartfelt, beautiful poem, with lots of depth and meaning behind it 💗 Thank you for sharing!
@Tinywhisper11 lovely, hopeful message ❤️
Love this thread idea! I host the Writing for Wellness huddle and it has helped me get back to regularly practicing my passion for poetry - in our last meeting the idea was to listen to the song and use it to write something up (any form) and I loved tuning into some of my values to get this:
Someone for Everyone
We all have dreams and beliefs that drive
A meaning to our lives.
To me, success involves touching just one.
Because it's one that leads to others.
A life of kindness and no strings attached,
Many dreams to follow with one main thing to catch
Love and humanity that lasts.
Forever because you’ve touched someone,
Made some things, and modeled more.
You can be the tide that rises bigger,
Each time it touches the shore.
Never dying or fading away,
For it's our actions that matter and are here to stay.
(inspired by “Someone to You” song by Banners
This is a really well thought out, and beautiful flowing poem! 💗 i love the rhyme scheme, it really resembles the sound of a wave hitting the shore. Thank you for sharing 😊
@Songbird2625 love the title of your poem and how it relates to the butterfly concept/general awakening about freedom and that its us who can start flying with it. The resilience theme is powerfully presented.
Here's my poetry :-
The sparkling stars make me remember my dreams,
Calling me in deep dark nights the appealing moon often screams,
Fulfilling my wish is not a piece of cake for me,
But my fortune still awaits under a lovely paradise tree.....
Life may bring up consequences weakening me in my expertise area,
But my aims will find their way one day bringing me the news of euphoria,
I will not remain mundane anymore as my hardships will bear fruit,
My efforts will not go in vain, passion will be my profession's root......
The land that was useless is getting greener now,
The birds that usually mourned are joyfully smiling; ohh wow,
The storm of confusion has finally found peace,
The opportunity is resting in my hands that I am about to seize.....
Yet another beatifully written and well thought out poem, the intertwined writing and rhyming is great 😊 Thank you for sharing! 🧡
