Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Held By a Thread

   Silence for me is like a beautiful flower blooming,
        and it is not found by turning off life;
      but a hunger deep within me,
               to find the balance of Yin and Yang;

               Serenity is something I really work on,
      it is a long soulful journey;
        a spiritual connection to bliss and peace,
  and in the mist of my mind a bridge is beckoning; 

  I think of this as a journey to find enlightenment,
        that takes me where my thoughts lead; 
      and worldly noise I push away,
             with courage I float in my mind;

             I am a bird singing in the forest,
        I am a cloud floating in an azure sky;
            I am the morn' dew that kisses,
  I am a flower with petals opening in the sunshine;
 
  I drift on a smooth green pond embracing my silence, 
        and I am held to life by a thread;
      that I can follow back to reality,
              and with a sigh-   I am home.
