Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Air

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Untamed as a hew in mid air is the heart,
so spontaneous ! 
  
Allow the golden coin of heaven 
to beam down at you 
its a living sun
and it lives above the sea 
Drink the wild air of life,
and be its poetry; 

Unnamed is the ocean wild and carefree  
it belongs to you but it also belongs to me 
This is not a Baptism    
slice into it with unbarred laughter 

Don't live in the shallow 
nor sit like a clam 
Swim like the otter 
drink its wild forces
 
You can't tame the wind, 
but you can claim the air.

Ink Empress March 16, 2024 at 11:09 AM What a powerful write, so much depth in your soft and seamless words woven in such poetic elegance. I especially love “ You can't tame the wind, but you can claim the air” one of those lines that should be framed and hung to remind ourselves everyday. Impeccable! Pleasure reading this fragrant rose.
