For the Love of Me

Standard

It's Cinderella's castle!

Upon awakening I sought Her

My mind raced back along the paths that She walks in me

She comes to me from the place of dreams and we walked together there

She teaches me, though I am most foolish and slow to understand

When I am unfaithful she cruelly chastises, for the love of me

I am so easily distracted and forgetful and quickly lose my way but

“I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.”

She is patient and She is kind and She is long-suffering , for the love of me

Foolish man, remember your purpose, let go of all that is Not and make room for Her

She is all that you seek and you will never rest until you find your rest in Her

All the wonders that you seek lay waiting for you, there inside Her castle

As I read this to myself I was struck that it is a poetic version of something I wrote a bit ago.  If you have any interest in a more detailed and prose version see The Princess and the Dragonfly.  The audio is coming when I finally get back home.

My friend Next Step to Nirvana has allowed me to play.  She has written If Only You hadn’t Departed and asked me to write along following these rules.  Go visit her.  She has written some excellent poetry of late and has been kind to me.  I am going to ask my Dragonfly buddy to play.  The Lady Calen at Impromptu Promptings is someone you should endeavor to know.  Your life will be enriched.

You only have to link back to my blog and add your poem on your blog, making sure to include:
~The word “Love”, at least once.
~At least one adverb.
~At least one quote or motto, marked by quotation marks.

  1. First, as ever, your words carry a depth of infinite seeking, that brings me to the threshold of my own inner Realm, where I listen for the whispers. It is a pilgrimage which has been eternal, and I find solace in that very thought.

    Ready for lift off? Light speed ahead!

  2. So very you being true to yourself. It’s beautiful, almost like something out of the Song of Songs… I am so glad to see it. {{{PG}}}
