Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.~Jung


 


Thirst In The Shadows
 
The fountain was as crystal clear
As old as cosmic night
It's taste was cool, and oh so dear
Yet few had seen it's sight
 
To take one sip, was sure enough
To quench a mind and soul
For it had magic on the lick
With powers to behold
 
One taste for a lifetime
Was all one could withsand
One gentle swallow of the cool
And mortals would transcend
 
Where time would wash the hours
Over the hills to sea
Forever has no power
Or station of degree
 
Dancing, sleeping in and out
Past the mists of time
Those who have the inner eye
Drink, but not the blind

First I'm still trying to get my composure from the break-dancing cat on your bio page. Now, to the poem! . . .

You need to write a poetic treatise for "Lord of the Rings" this is amazingly good!

Beautiful and inspiring write...for if we drink from the spiritual fountain that flows so freely from the throne of God, we shall never thirst again. This spiritual water also has a way of allowing one to see through a spiritual eye...beyond the outer images that lie before them. Great write..enjoyed this very much.
Blessings,

The Jung quote is phenominal and your lyrics do it such justice, Anita. You and me is kinda on the same page tonight.... nooooooooo, not THAT one, but the meeting of minds one! :)) As ever, you quench again our thirst for poetic nectar which drips so smoothly off your effortless rhyming, versifying tongue. LOL K xx

Your way beyond~ Smiles!

Anita, this didactic gem of wisdom is a fine example of the purity of thought I look for in poetry. That inner eye of "willing seers" sees so much more than the blind ever will. The last two lines say it so perfectly!

The shine within some of us is Divine. The quest for others to attain it is very simple...open your heart for love won't enter a closed door.
This is the poetry I always gravitate towards and your's is wisdom and tenderness of the finest quality.
