Sleepless Wonder

Inquisitive minds Of any kind ....Loom... In dark rooms Until they bloom Into bright places Flourishing in light spaces Upon UN-crowded happiness Far too few find it …. Unless…. They leave the herd they travel with And leave to the past old time And the future that at present does not exist The illusions that create the current emptiness Only then can rigid thoughts bend Like color bows To a hidden pot of gold …Or buried gem Discover… INgenious Discover… YOUr best It’s different for each It’s not the fad of Everyday Street As much as we are one We are merely a piece …unique Inquisitive mind listen to an inner greatness speak It’s not outside of you It’s below your crown And above your sole Stop wandering Stop wondering Search your soul

Lovely, Enjoyable read. Style is well done. Good free verse is hard to find. Victoria PS thanks for the comment on Job int in Africa I was trained in journalism-- learned to be brief! when writing use as few words as possible..it's a personal challenge!(unless I am telling a yarn!)
