WHAT IS

Fay Slimm.

 

 

WHAT IS.

 

What is deep I want fiercely.
What is heart-moving I need to feel.
In what is adventure I wish to partake
and live to fulfillment.

If time and chance allow me to dive
into experience I shall leave the shallows.
With wings boldly grown
what is known as free flight I want to try.

I intend learning the meaning of life's
hidden music.
If there are tunes sweeter dreams feed on
these I will start to sing.

So come forward potential.
I have mantra's mystique to re-invent inner
sensory limitations.
With what are catalysts for energy change
I want a positive avalanche.

If love means completion I shall barter no
more and surrender willingly.
What is bliss I want to fill with and give
my best to the saga of living.

        'The saga of living' has a fundamental truth within Fay, your earlier verses indicators which can aid and enrich that saga more.

        • Fay Slimm.

          You are so generous with support of my efforts to enrich life's sage dear Dave - thanking you as always and very muchly.

          Probably the deepest and most meaningful to-do list I have ever encountered. Your opening line sets the mood for what follows, things to enrich the heart, mind, and soul. A beautiful piece of poetry. - Phil A.

            Sincere thanks Phil for this very encouraging comment on What Is. - -- - am so pleased you enjoyed the read.

              The pic that accompanies this poem speaks so beautifully of embracing all that life has to give. It speaks of giving ones self up to the freedom to be, to explore, to love. This is just breathtaking dear Fay, and at this later stage of my life I truly see the value of not missing a minute. Thank you for this gem!

              • Fay Slimm.

                My delight indeed dear Bella that you found something of value in this little ode to embracing all life - -- -- our time here on this planet can be so fruitful should we look around with positive sight. I have been unable to get on line for a week until today and so blessed to read your lovely comment.

                • Bella Shepard

                  I'm glad all is well with you dear friend, hadn't seen you out there and hoped nothing was amiss.
