A Sweet Release

A Sweet Release

In your heavenly gladesย 
I felt myself mingle with the sunlightย 
That shone downย 
to softly batheย 
your verdant browย 

How the air felt so invigorating against my skinย 
I was akin with your charmsย 
As we dwelled within each otherโ€™s natural balmsย 

Lingering between what had been
such a peaceful dawnย 
To now mourn the sunย 
But hail the moonย 
Where dreams completeย 
the meย 
the youย 

Through wishesย held highย 
in the glistening droplets
of that gemstone skyย 

And I...feel readyย 
to let my soul driftย 
To shift
To fly...ย 

Whilst I permit my flesh to dieย

Such a soulful write Gwen

'Through wishes held high
in the glistening droplets
of that gemstone sky'

these lines speak to me of an ache that never ever leaves, an utterly private agonising pain that can make life seem at times unbearable.

utterly beautiful โค

Yee ha.ย 
Yeah.ย 
True spoken words, that linger. whilst I permit my flesh to die, mentality this is difficult for the soul to do, as grows fond of the wrapper it was born into.ย 
Great poem about release, made me think of releasing a few lingering things of my own.ย 
So thank you.ย

Yep .. quite beautiful & with a most unexpected ending .. although I can not explain why I found it so .. I shall have to pop back later, just to check and maybe satisfy my curiosity ................................ Nevertheless, Neville enjoyed 'A Sweet Release' ... Heck, maybe I should have guessed .. Doh x

p.s what I meant too say was that on my subsequent visit & further reflection, it hit me .. and not surprisingly, it ended perfectly x

Aaah my friend. Many many thanks for stopping by a second time and for sharing with me your honest thoughts.ย 

I was deeply thinking at the time, on how the physical body returns to the earth. I started writing about releasing the flesh to the earth and finding peace on leaving the body behind. So this is the moment where you feel your physical side connecting back to nature. Whilst your spirit lifts to the universe itself. Hope I make sense ๐Ÿ™ƒ x

The physical world meets the spiritual world and of both outcomes good arises.
Beautiful, beautiful writing here on display Gwen and captivating to journey on your poetry plane.
Every poem you write has that essence of Gwen feel to it, I believe many on here would know it's one of yours, without your name attached.
For each is an original theme every time.
Thanks for sharing and especially the beautiful journey.
Shaun. x.
