the suburban road rushed
its dreams shimmering in flowing craving lights
tied to building blocks and building egos
vicious grooves like patchy
skin discolored soulless guises
a few stars i gathered tied in
words
an apple can be an apple without label
and the soul can walk high
among stars bathing in celestial
glow
keeping a friend in ever dyeing and ever rising moon
pastures unbounded thorn
less canvas
nurtures without asking soulful
dreams
an apple can be an apple without label
ReplyDeleteand the soul can walk high... love that.. the being without having to explain and the limitless-ness of the soul...wonderful
WOW! I picked the same lines as Claudia did to highlight, thinking of the friends we carry with us and hold in the Light!
ReplyDeletenice...ha...same lines....very cool...but also the stars gathered in words...the stringing together of words/stars that is what we do eh? nurtures without asking is a great line as well...
ReplyDeleteI specially like the second stanza, to find meaning and bathe in the celestial glow ~ These dreams nurture us and make us paint beautiful canvas ~
ReplyDeleteOh we all love that same line.. but I also like the concluding last lines... very nice
ReplyDeleteI loved the idea of gathering stars tied in words!! You have really included a lot of beautiful phrases in this poem, Sreeja.

Yes, Sreeja! We often wish the best for those close to our hearts. The best thing sometimes friends can be more receptive to our needs than family members! Great write!
