Encounters attained are all different,

Thoughts upon this day swiftly alter;

Linking to what lies beyond.

 

Flickers ephemeral – never repetitive,

Keeps the poet contained In wonder...

Like morning billows concealing

Blink of sun's rays, then suddenly

Disbanding,

 

I too experience revelation like clouds

Swiftly alter, floating; no longer huddled,

Catching fleeting glimpses of other worlds

Wrapped in warmth...soothing this poet's

Mind.

 

Pools that drift in bursts of gleaming

Light as breath flows, essence thoughtful,

Reflecting ripples of intuition that surface

And soar...awakening the poet in me.

I couldn't resist the I P this week Rhiannon, though it took a while to put this poem together, it was while watching the clouds that gave me the idea, thinking about how the sun hides behind the clouds, then imagining my imagination being cloudy, but then clearing to bring together the words.

Thank you for your lovely comment which is much appreciated.

 "Morning billows concealing / Blink of sun's rays, then suddenly / Disbanding" I think captures perfectly the blink-and-you'll-miss-it nature of inspiration. I wonder how many great ideas pass us by just because we are not paying attention?

Many thanks for your kind words Soulfire77,

I always find words and thoughts can be quickly forgotton if not written down straight away, especially at night when I can't sleep and ideas circle around in my mind. If I don't get them down straight away, they tend to disappear very quickly.

The room where I write I can look up at the sky from my window and watch the clouds floating by, it's very therapeutic and stirs my imagination, that's how this poem came about.

I'm glad you liked it and very grateful for the feedback.

Many thanks again.

Jenny.

Hi Turlough,

great to hear from you and I'm glad you enjoyed my poem. 

It's always great when ideas and words come together rising from the imagination and readers like what they read.

Many thanks for letting me know.

Jenny.
