Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Soul Travel

Soul Travel

To travel amidst the evening stars
Forever mesmerized by their light...
As visions enter my sleepy head
I marvel my interstellar flight.

The universe is mine to explore
In ethereal bands without Time;
Without earth's constraints of gravity
My expansion has become sublime.

I view with a great epiphany
How extremely minuscule we are
In the grandeur of our galaxy
When measured by a projective star.

My body awaits in restful pose
As I return with the speed of thought
Entering in my physical self
So grateful for answers I have sought.

*Soul Travel:
Soul Travel transcends astral or mind travel, and rote prayer, elevating one into profound spiritual areas. Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart opens to God's all-consuming love.
—Harold Klemp,

I looked at some of your lovely poetry that was paired with art and music and it is so beautiful. I will comment on more as soon as I get the time. I am on a bit of an overload right now but I do want to take time to read poetry. Thank you, blessings, Connie

Freddie Robinson Jr. June 25, 2017 at 3:28 PM A most mystical, metaphysical poem, Connie. Your words took me to an elevated plane of consciousness. A stellar spiritual write. Grand streams of existentialism pouring from your pen. Very cerebral and thought provoking poem. Love and hugs. Connie Marcum Wong June 25, 2017 at 10:09 PM Thank you very much Freddie. I appreciate your lovely insightful comment. : )

Carolyn Devonshire January 30, 2017 at 4:38 PM Dear Connie, I was mesmerized by your intergalactic journey. I have had a couple out-of-body experiences, but they never took me to the stars. The amazing images you describe are sometimes in my dreams. Wishing you success in the contest!

Robert Pettit January 19, 2017 at 5:40 PM It will certainly be a blessing for mankind if we could ever travel at WORP speed. Fascinating write.

Kathleen Kroll January 18, 2017 at 4:18 PM Excellent poem, Connie. It takes us on a trip beyond our normal boundaries and challenges us to rethink where prayer might take us... So much to think about!! Thank you! Kathy

Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2017 at 3:39 PM I find this topic so fascinating, Connie, and this is a truly awesome way to treat the subject of Travel Light. I guess I only do mine in dreams because I can't imagine being lucky enough to do astral travel. You captured it so well.

Daver Austin January 18, 2017 at 9:00 AM Your 3rd stanza is so right on! Wonder what Monet would have made of your photographs, being so about light as he was? This is great, Connie. Love, daver
