free flowing with rhyme, rhythm, and thought.


A Celestial Fountain

Sensitive sojourns majestically born
Shine on the galaxy forever to mourn
Humanity's indignities never adorned.
Makers and takers of infinite light
Intermingles of spacial delights
Glimmers and shimmers forever the night.
Diamonds, emeralds in opened space
Relentless brilliance together embrace
Creating the moon shadow's mystical face.
Beams through the glazing stratosphere
Traveling through the atmosphere  
When something's gone, there's nothing here. 
In the hearts of kings and queens,
Dwell the seeds of things unseen.
Revolving kaleidoscope of prison walls
Twist and turn in gallows fall.
On the brink of separation,
Cupped in hands of condemnation
All that's well is tempted fate 
Hanging from the gilded gates
'Til the soul is fetter free
All that is in times like these
Never caring, never pleased.
Often wandering down wilderness ways,
In the hope of brighter days.
A paramount starlight haze
In the eyes of a sojourn's gaze.

Free-flowing? Oh boy, you make me feel like I'm at the beginning of writing poetry. This is so beautiful, so rich.

Hi Kathy, a wonderful free flowing write on the mysteries of lifes ups and downs. I noted one typo on the last sojourn, but I am a crap speller and it may be the other way around. You have a fantastic vocabulary and style, like the new picture too. Smiling at you, Tai

Wow, this is a free-flowing beauty, Kathy!
PS: Line 12 wants "something's" and line 14 wants "dwell." And while I'm being picky, might I interest you in a "the" in the middle of line 20?
PPS: I especially resonate to lines 13 and 14!

I give this piece a three thumbs up and a personal "Wha...? Wow." This thing blew my mind away. So many creative visions of shimming extraterrestrial crystals and the mind flowing free into a colorful concoction of rippling thought and emotion!

Very good work!
