Eagles circling high

Today I had time again to go through some of my old journals and came across this little freestyle poem. Eagles are close to my heart, so they will always find their ways into my writings.

How do I get my poems, easy actually, I write in FREESTYLE about something that is on my mind or a topic I choose, usually about 4 pages and then I leave it. I don't look at what I have written for a day or two sometimes even longer and then one day whilst reading through it I will pick passages I like, those that - talk - to me and from those I create a poem.

Eagles circling high

Standing in the open field
on a clear crisp morning
one of these perfect days

Eyes wandering to the distance
Eagles circling high  in the sky
calling, calling for its mate
a sound so lonely so forlorn
Watching it circling  high in the sky
my heart and soul opens and
I am letting go and fly with the winds of life
Freestyle, 2008

That is absolutely lovely and vivid. Thank you for sharing. My poetry is always freeform too, and usually comes to me all in a rush (not very often though!)

Thank you Melissa, I am glad you like it. Sometimes a poem comes to me just 'ready' to write down as well, like the other day when I was driving. I guess it has to do with being more relaxed/balanced and in tune with the creative sparks on some days ;)

I am free at last...

Free at last When you look up to the sky you'll see me in the clouds whispering 'I am free' When you feel the wind carressing your face you will hear me whispering 'I am free' When you feel the rain gently rolling down your cheeks you will hear me 'I am free' When you look up to the stars at night you will know 'I am free'   When you watch the eagles dancing in the sky you will know I am free at last! c J.

Life's Mysteries...

It has been some hectic few weeks, with the birth of my first grandson and then getting ill etc, etc... As exciting as it all was nothing prepared me for all these old memories of mine  to resurface, I thought I had put them nicely in a drawer and threw away the keys in typical Aquarius/Scarlett O'Hara style! ;) But boy oh boy did I remember, the good, the bad and the ugly... What did help me was writing it all down, trying to make sense of my emotions, acknowledging the memories and letting them go. It does help, writing it down that is, it brings order to a confused, upset mind and the emotions and the tears ..., well they do say cleaning is done with water... So a lot of cleaning/cleansing was done and my guess is that it never really ends, so I have my journals and my pen/cils ready for my daily pages, for any thoughts that cross my mind during the day and yes I do go for the jugular, no sense in going only halfway, isn't it?
