Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

- Journey -

She knows when the lights are turned off
     there will be light somewhere else
     Understanding of connections between life and death
     The rains will come and the seeds will germinate
     by the green youth trees

     The attraction is there, but also the fear
     her world is falling apart as a house of cards
     through the soul's dark night
     A transcendent and celestial experience
     the arrival of the journey via divine powers

     The frequency, sound and volume adjusted frequently
     She testing the woven fibers with burning longing
     against a background of nothing but bluish air
     The soul longed for so much, a renewal

     Listen to the sound of trickling streams
     before they merge into the endless sea
     A reconciling and humble journey has ended

Joseph P. DiMino March 5, 2023 at 5:01 PM "She testing the woven fibers with burning longing" -- beautiful poetry! While in the human body, spirit yet senses its divine, loving source, for there lingers a soul hunger, an alienation that no experience on earth can fully satisfy. Anne-Lise Andresen March 6, 2023 at 2:03 AM - "The attraction is there, but also the fear" - Many thanks for your lovely comment, Joe :) - hugs

Sara Kendrick March 5, 2023 at 8:32 AM Ahh!! I like this contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. I wonder how long will it take to get to that destination. Of course, the Bible tells us to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord so maybe instanteously. Thanks for sharing and for your pleasant visit to my page.
