Out on the limbs

in #poetry6 years ago


Out on the limbs


From the soils of old life is drawn, waters from faraway lands
Along the highways and veins of a city, roots of many hands
It flows up to feed the leaves, as they search all day for sun
Curled at night like children asleep, blankets protecting one
With the dawn and the morning mist, they unfurl as on repeat
A sleepy yawn and a creeping gait, they begin to shuffle feet

**

Taking a chance on the new day's offer, seeing what will arise
Looking down toward the ground to the earth eyeing its prize
What will fall to be carressed from the heaven's high above
Those that float to land gently, be consumed by eternal love
Folded once again into the bread, that will continually become
Nothing will be wasted, every morsel eaten and every crumb

**

To run along the branches is to risk body in the plummet down
To lose grip and slip is to tumble hopelessly and land facedown
Dropped into the warmth and washed onto the eternal coldness
To dance and laugh in the canopies, takes abandon and boldness
Drinking from the blossom's heart, filling mind with what knows
Out on thin limb's of destiny, are where beautiful flowers grow.

Upvote you .

I almost can't say anything. I mean this work is so perfect, every imagery, every rhyme. Deserve the future's classic, I know someday, it'll have its time. Sublime...

really like the tone and flow of this write. you move the reader along nicely with the rhyme scheme. the imagery throughout is fantastic. The last line really does it for me, great ending!

Each verse is written with such passion I can feel it and that image gives freshness to the poem I love

Interesting. It almost smells, through all the verses. Upvote from me. Check my poems, if you wish.

This would be amazing with background music!

I love that last verse. So profound. It seems like we're in the same head space cuz my new piece echoes this... in more words. Lol
What are our lives without us embracing risk and boldness to navigate our truest selves. Playing safe guarantees nothing anyway, we may as well do all we can to be all we can... To drink from blossom's heart.

Such a joy in these lines! Even in the lines about falling... This is a beautiful and powerful reminder of what a gift it is to be alive, to be part of all this. Lovely and inspiring work @tarazkp :)
