A World Not Over the Rainbow

"a world not over the rainbow"

a world not over the rainbow
yet far away to heal oneself
air and space are clean and free
breezes and suns warm young and old

find a moment within seasons of all
find find a moment for mind body and soul

where is this universe that enhances
look for knowing seagulls flying high
follow them to gentle golden sands
where your being will always soar

a place where soft whispers call
the far and wide breathes for all

Lovely poem, Lisa. My first visit to your poetry, but not my last; I'm following your poetry now. Deep within each of us is a place we can experience as a presence. It can be much like the beautiful place you describe in this poem, or it can be whatever brings pure Love, joy, and happiness to you. I call it the "Garden of Serenity"; some call it "Bliss". Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your gift of poetry, Bill

Well Now Mr. Anil - Top of the day to you... - Yes, not over the rainbow (smile). Thank your for the smile your commentary brings because it does. I love the movie wizard of oz and yes all the characters for what they symbolize including the black bag too. May the black bag hold everything for you including Shaloms and Namastes... Remain safe and well. Love and Blessings always.
