FEATHER AND INK

FEATHER AND INK

       
                                     You and I are in the same page,
                                     We may be in another place
                                     And be of a different age,
                                     Yet, we are in the same book
                                     Even if in another phase

                                     We do deeds and seek for meaning
                                     Or just sit on the empty stage,
                                     One believes in god
                                     And the other in the prophets and sages

                                    One collects flowers,
                                    The other the ‘’green and beige’’,
                                    I might write in crooked lines
                                    And you’ll have a full and perfect page

                                    In the end what really matters
                                    Is how happy we can be,
                                    You choose the lines of the pages
                                    But the ink is chosen by me.

                                    We are wrapped in the mantle of time
                                    You and I living in the very same page.

Oh, thank you so much Marion. 
I couldn't sleep the night before (usually sleep like a log), so I got up
and wrote this. I am glad it touched you.

I love the way it's written,  split like our minds, left and right hemisphere battling to be our guide, our heart placed solely in the middle, screaming,  look at me.

Hello Nine Eleven,
I think the way you see this poem is really interesting. And your words
"left and right hemisphere'' gives me an idea for a poem. Will try to
write one and see how it goes. Thank you.

After reading is to count oneself fortunate to be here and admire what you have written Bernadete.
A most elegant poem from one's heart and a captivating one also.
Perhaps one shouldn't analysis it too deeply and simply accept it  for what it offers and then become swept away.
Thank you for sharing.

I know, it's a very late reply but I feel that I have to say something. Thank you
very much Shaun! Your kind words gives the poet a huge encouragement to
keep writing. I used to say that I write to myself, but I've learnt that there is
an immense beauty in sharing our writings. It just warms one's heart. 
Stay well in whatever you're doing. Warm wishes, B
