Good morning (in my time zone at least)
I like this one (I like all of them 😊) I really enjoy the visual with the poetry and making them come together
So
Here’s the voem (video/poem to the newbies)
And here are the words
Static in the mind
White noise
In the night
Tossing and turning
Watching moons rise
And fall
Awake in the dawn
Worry
That repetitious slurry
Stirring
Mixing
Turning
Spinning
Pin it down on paper
Then
Set aside the pen
Get outside
Let nature reinvent
Take the mind and all its nonsense
Focus
Reconnection
To the moment
To the earth
Look down here
Just a little human
Look down here
Just a tiny speck
Go figure
I always wanted to be bigger
Now I’m happy
Being small
Living in the broader picture
True that. I am so happy with my small life beneath the stars, feet connected to the planet and my blog/twitter/Instagram connecting me to so many wonderful people every day. This creative life – I’m loving it.

Goodnight in my time zone.😊
Wow… I love your voetry. It is tempting me now to make one of this kind.
Poetry is life 💕
“Worry
That repetitious slurry
Stirring
Mixing
Turning

Pin it down on paper” I love the feeling of restlessness in these lines and how that restlessness is caught and pinned down in that last line.
Glad you like it 🙂
Happy being small 🙂 I agree, there are times I don’t want to venture away from the mountain we live on. I like our quiet life, it calms the anxiety. There are times I fear I may become a hermit and live among the trees with my cat and Jase. Only my children will know of my whereabouts. The outside world in all it’s business feels like a poison in my veins………..I replace the poison with a glass of wine, it’s a fine balance!
We live out of town as well Mare – The hermit life is definitely under rated – I get a bit overwhelmed when I head into a big centre and see so many people – there are so many people in this world!
Yes. Content at being small. Living in a world where friends are curated and extend to far reaches if the world. I very much enjoyed this.
I’m glad Sarah 😊
Simple, reflective and powerful. Great piece to find peace.
Well done and thank you🙂
Thanks Justin 😊
I used to write poetry, actually I think I started around age ten, I don’t Romberg when I stoped or even why. It makes me feel a little sad to read poetry now, but I am glad I came.Maybe if I continue to read poetry, that spark will be reignited. Thank you for sharing your intimate thoughts from your lovely soul. 🙂🦋💕
Start small – 4 lines to describe a feeling or a situation and build up – I couldn’t live without poetry now – thanks for stopping by 😊
Thank you 😊
Great poem, ice found myself getting back interested in poetry lately so I did not know about voetry!
Hi Jess I’m not sure if voetry is really a thing – I just like doing it this way 😊
How talented you are! The words, visuals,music….WOW!
Oh thanks that’s lovely 😊
Powerful and meaningful words. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing xx
My pleasure Je. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment – much appreciated.
Still part of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. I have a right to be here.(Desiderata)
We find our own little corner and do what we can.
The Desiderata is one of my favourites by the time you get to the end of it peace settles in the soul. It’s beautiful.
