Beautiful beamer
A very timely prompt for me, and society, from Poetry Jam, "Carry On" (whoops, just found out that was last week! However, this week is "Soak" and this is a sun soaked poem, so I'm sharing it with the wonder-ful poets at poetryjaam.blogspot.com--My mind automatically went to the song by Kansas--"Carry On My Wayward Son". Hence the title :-) Enjoy, hope that it lightens your heart a bit <3
Send a streamer
Help us to piece
To seize
These days
Rays us
Beyond these clouds
Of hopelessness
This mess
Melt the fight
Show us the light
The way
To a brighter day

Deleteah great song by kansas....smiles...i like the hope too of something beyond the clods of this present chaos...show us how to get there surely...smiles.
ReplyDeleteHi Brian!! Yes, I thought it was appropriate--"There'll be peace, when you are done..." Was going to post a link to it, but then was too late on that prompt--Glad that you knew what I was talking about
Delete:-)
Ah, yes. The answer is up above in the light. I love this, Sara.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! Thank you for such a wonderful compliment :-)
DeleteSo very clever!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!! So glad you enjoyed it-Thank you :-)
DeleteYou referenced one of my favorite songs ... beams and streams are lovely words, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHi Helen!! Beams and streams are lovely, at first I was going to try and play with the song "Beautiful Dreamer, Wake unto thee..." but it just didn't flow :-)
DeleteWe all definitely need to find the way to a better day. The bright sun definitely helps!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Thank you:-)
Deletethis has a wonderful rhythm and yes...we def. need that rays that show us the place beyond the clouds...
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia, thank you I was striving for a flow/rhythm with these words, appreciate that you felt it:-)
DeleteMethinks peace, not piece, and raise, not rays, might have made more sense - at least to this reader...
ReplyDeleteHi Jinksy!! Nice to see you:-) I did play with switching peace and piece, however, since it was a solution type poem and I was toying with wordplay, I stuck with piece. And Rays was more wordplay with the sun inspired words. I like to hear comments that make me think about my choices, though, so keep 'em coming:-)
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have composed this and I love the metaphor =)
ReplyDeleteHi! So nice to see you again :-) Thank you for the kind words and smile!
DeleteHi Loredana!! So glad you enjoyed it:-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so uplifting ... have a bright weekend :-)
