While walking through the woods last week my senses were aroused by the life around me. I began to ponder the life of a poet, resulting in the following poem.
this poem has been removed as it will appear in my upcoming book
Dear Joyce who could better describe a Poet’s Life and feelings than a real poet. Great poem, my dear. I have a lot of memories from the time when I was farming. Now I plant only flowers. You are great, I will keep visiting your den as I want to improve my English. Happy New Year, Emile.
How true to a poet, we always seem to find something special in everything. Thank you Joyce for sharing.

Your inspired insight into the mind and sensibilities of the poet are so true; to use the British saying, "spot on." This write reflects your own abilities to see deeply beneath the surface of what most people observe and opens the door for all who are willing to see into the true magic of what is around us every day. This is truly and outstanding piece of writing, Joyce!

Joyce, this is just absolutely great, the vivid images, the rhyme & rhythm, your voice shows us the beauty of being a poet. You've captured a painting in this writing and I'm so glad you shared it. I'd say this is excellent!!
To a poet everything every word or scenery of a mountain
Or a garden or sound is a poetic though
Yes we poets looked at everything in life
As a poetic verse!!
Excellent message within this
Beautiful poetic write!!
Love Peace and Happiness your friend...Yolie
Joyce, we poets must stand for something good because we always tell the truth in our works. You've done so here and I appreciate your candidness. Keep on keeping on! :>)
Nice Joyce ... what a wonderfully positive muse you were touched by on that walk. The repetition of 'ordinary person' creates an effective juxtapose between the enlightened and the mundane.
Blessings and Light ...

the real poet, indeed, has ESP or must eventually develop it. 'babbling streams' are gems. i especially like 'while old ones we sift'. good write and thanks a million for sharing.

Joyce - It's difficualt, and daunting to be different... but that we seem to be, and you've convinced me. I try not to be so convinced that I need to write something... about most everything... but, but, but! Enjoyed your well crafted lines. Thank You, Mountain Lady.

This combined narrative dialogue and play is about the uncreated, unborn and undying transcendent Self of God-consciousness and Buddha-nature. It describes an odyssey of transcendent Consciousness Awakening and Remembrance.

We love words, we look for meaning, we speak to the mind and to the heart and to the senses.
Lovely reminder,
