Again I Live and Die
World of shadows
Of now and then
Of before and the next
Gusts of weary air
And I stand again
Under the fragrant linden tree
White sweet bitter flowers
Falling on my hair
My mortal coil yet warm
Under lavender flowers
Is without memories
The I that knows, close my eyes
against the bright pure light
so familiar in unknown ground
picking flowers from walls
circles whispers of hopes
I hear the vague calls
Of lost siblings in the mists
Of past lovers gnashing revenge
Of soul-mate’s unfound
Lost in the whirls of living
Passed by unnoticed
While skies clad white to black
And back to azure again
In the circle of cycle
I travel on, back to life
To bow to death again
In love, in faith, in devotion
To live life to, lose once more
Bound on mysterious quests
As yet unknown nor ever revealed
But to abide by unquestioningly
In the meadow there I stand
Listening to thunder claps
From afar the screaming wind
Fly me to silent calm,
there be I born.
Of now and then

against the bright pure light
so familiar in unknown ground
picking flowers from walls

What a lovely work here, and strangely of The Nations for me. It possesses their quiet ideologies.
Much enjoyed :)

Defininately evocative of a deep something and there is always the smell of that Linden tree to spice things up. Have you ever watched the lightening and just sometimes they forget to put in the thunder?

I love the smell of lime, so fresh. Beginnings just seem apt with this fragrance. Yes there are silent lightning but much prefer the full display. Thanks , Sui.

The vivid mind pictures make me think of Ireland's beauty. Very serene feeling that seems to transcend time.

Jazz, thank you so much for reading me. I hope when we get there the beauty is such too; transcending time indeed, especially when one awaits birth.

Oh My Grace!
You have penned one of my favorite moments in life. I love storms how the earth reacts, the imagery you penned is lovely.
Dark, yet light...you have presented the balance of nature my friend.
Simple stunning pen
much love
