Seeing

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Seeing.

 

In this enlightened age
the nearer I come to my final
breath the brighter sun
looks when it rises each day
and the fiercer tumble
green waves to break on beach
bleached to more silver
than I can remember seeing.

Louder each feathered song,
flowers extra vivid bloom under
much bluer sky, ultra
intense howls a storm as gale
thunders thru' landscape
renting and lashing with wilder
falls of cleansing rain.
Waking to view combinations
as morning in full spate,
expresses a clearer fascination
seems to make senses
the keener to join glad exultation
for nature's beauty,
and glory in new ways of viewing
with joyous sensation.

Just being alive is enough if love
lights the day for when
closer draws endings seems greater
the need to peer again
and hear how earth's ready music   
vibrates so gracefully.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Thank you for your visit and comment on Seeing. So pleased you liked the read.

    • Neville

      This is a remarkable poem so well crafted by the great mistress of words, our very own Fay Slimm .. Long admired by me and so many others ..

      Characteristically written in such a way that those of us who stop by to ponder and gawp can't help but appreciate her perception and prowess with a pen ..

      Indeed, those of us who may have a few years under our belts will also no doubt understand completely where she is coming from today and empathise accordingly .. x

          life as it should be lived is a beauty in itself..
          ..but drugs and mind altering substances cloud its appreciation... though glimpses are still beautiful
          thank you for a glimpse today

                What is left to say after Neville took his turn?
                In addition I will add, if and then when I wake up tomorrow I'm going to relish all the textures and happenings which are thrown at me.
                And its textures, Fay, you fill your poetry with. Thank you.

                      I had to read this poem aloud, with all the emotion that reverberates within. You have managed to put into words the indescribable feeling of life's true measure. The awakening of the soul. Thank you dear friend for this piece of perfection.

                          • L. B. Mek

                            such Gorgeous Poetry!
                            Crazy, how essence-aligned we can be to others
                            Just the other day I began penning something with the same theme, dear Fay
                            (although our numerical age, may lack vitality's youth
                            still, for some of us
                            tender be our heart's years and thus, in our autumn
                            we seize Sunset twilight's, Sunkissed scenes
                            and in acceptance, align our pulse
                            with inevitability's coming tide of finiteness
                            flowing with life, as it was meant to be unearthed
                            one milestone breath, at a time...)

                            • Fay Slimm.

                              What a stunningly appropriate review of Seeing and thank you L.B. for your visit and time taken with this poetic comment.
