I won't throw curses

to where I've been before.

I look upon life as door leading to door.

Although I find nurture

in a long lost friend,

I don't see the death

as if the end.

I can't imagine why

the state of mind is so perplexed,

but isn't that the way we are,

we think inside a standard text?

There is a tune that bids me on,

so when i'm affraid I still go on,

and some glory that fell in my eye,

I don't know why,

but it made me cry,

and still I'm shy,

but I go on

because of the tune.

I like this line in particular:'I look upon life as door leading to door' I am not a believer in anything but this is a well written poem with a nice light touch.

Ahh, you're shy too, like me. That poem was so beautiful, Katie. You probably let your feelings come out through your writing. Sometimes I can't speak especially with the loud mouths I live with and I have to retreat in a quiet place where I can think. Such a great poem.

hehehe, yes I think alot of us have a little shyness.
quiet places, yes, it is so nessesary to have that peace.

'loud mouths' lol! well I don't have people living with me but I have three cats that can have big mouths sometimes lol!

yes, that can be hard when everything around you is loud, then to create a place inside of harmony is special treat.
sometimes even when I have peace my mind will still create the disharmony though you know? our disorganised thoughts and what not. yes, writing is a wonderful tool. I am emensly grateful for it. :)
Thank you Susan, have a nice warm day ~katie

Excellent, Katie.

Great attitude to start off and then . . . well . . . that last stanza is me as well.
My identification with this one could not be more complete.

I don't think that any poet on this earth, or beyond, could improve upon this diamond.

Tell me, in your words, what "the Tune" is a matephor for?
Great poetry, but I wonder, is there an actual tune or is it a metaphor?

Posted: Jun 30, 2008

Author Comment:

lol, yes there is this music that plays inside of my head lol
hehehe, well actually yes it is a metaphor for the song of life, or the mantra that metaphorically echos, or the desire that pushes you on or the magnetic pull or your soul, it is a feel that is always there moving you. I think it keeps getting stronger once you begin to actually listen to it.

There is suppose to be a life song and a healing song for every individual with the exact rythmic vibrations of thier soul, although it is not easy to hear. in fact I have just picked up a book about it called: "sound medicine" by Laeh Maggie Garfield. and she speaks of this. it's quite interesting.

and Hey I was going to visit your page and ask you, 'um, who are you anyway' lololololol!!! :D
yes you keep changing faster than I can type sometimes lolololol.... oh i love it!!!!! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
I really liked the last picture but I'm gone for a couple three days and now you are different again lol!
you are great!!! ^_^

That's a beautiful inspiration, motivation...whatever you want to call it.
Do we flow through moment, or does the moment flow through us?

Posted: Jun 30, 2008

Author Comment:

lol.....oh-no lol!
now you're gonna have me thinkin' again lol.
'hmmm, do we flow through moments or does thye moment flow through us'?
well, (pondering deeply) hahaha, how does this sound:
they go through us, ignite us and then send us out of our self. hehehehehe haha, ya, so they do flow into us but also we flow with the moments see? ok does that make sense to you? I jsut stood and felt the moment and that is what came to me. well, so that was only a glimpsing so to speak but I know there is a melting effedt that goes many times much more deeper than that... ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
thank you sweetie, I love this connection with you ^_^

I don't know why,

but it made me cry,

and still I'm shy,

but I go on

because of the tune.

I won't throw curses

to where I've been before.

I look upon life as door leading to door.

Hiya KAtie....we r thinking similarly lately...i was so 'down' and ws wondering....what am i running after? what is my husband running after? What do we want? don't know...blank faces., empty eyes....no tears....

STAGNANCY is the call of the hour.....this is what i feel...Buddy...i don't know if i am right or wrong....

Hi Pratibha ^_^
it has taken me this long to get back to people after having my computer down, wow stuff sure does build up huh?

hahaha, yes we all seem to be going/running after something but then when we stand still we realize it is not 'out there' somewhere. do you know why gravity is so powerful?
because it doesn't move. *giggles*
yes isn't it fascinating? I think if we go by how we feel our intuitions guide us, we some how 'know' intuitively what is right and what is wrong. When we react defensively it is our small personality in play, and not that it is wrong but only there to teach us more about ourselves, (what apparent struggle is there in our thoughts/beliefes?) you know?

Thankyou Pratibha, today is fourth of July (fire cracker day) hoopla!!! ^_^ do you do fireworks today too in Canada?
or an another day? I'm going to go to the end of town and maybe I will see them from a neighboring town along with the sunset oooooooooooooooooh ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
happy day sweetie, sunshine and big smiles xoxoxox

Katie, I didn't forget you.. I tried three times to leave a comment on your poem but booksie was having problems of its own. I really like this poem. Not just one line, but every line here seems to flourish within my thoughts.

One day we might have a little house with our own back yard, then they can go out on thier own ^_^ . hahaha see, I am yack, yack, yacking, that is why it is taking me so long to finish up these comment box lol....oh-well.

MAmberConrad

Katie, as usual, I'm speechless. Your poetry is a breath of fresh air, and I just love it.
Personally, I'm a bit unsure of the line, "as door leading to door".... Maybe something like, "from door to door"??? I dunno. I understood exactly what you meant by it, going from one place to the next.
Anyway, I'm sorry your computer is away at the time. My boyfriend's $3,000 gaming computer had to be sent away too, so he's having to use mine for now.... Ugh.

Anyway, like I was saying, I love this poem. Beautiful and absolutely charming.

oh, yes, I was so pleased that the price was only $30 dollars to fix it. you know it was my own fault, the thing was so slow and unresponsive so I began deleting things and unfortunately I deleted some things I should not have (oops)lol, yup, oh-well, we're all better now :)

oh, let's see door leading to door. hmmm I guess I see it as one door leads to another and another. but either way is good.
yes I know my vocabulary is not the best lololol!
well I will look at is again and see :)
anyway I am glad that you liked it, thankyou sweetie ^_^
Hey-HAPPY FIRE CRACKER DAY ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
happy smiles and lots of love....katie

Hi, This is Kenra.
Very nice poem there, easy rythm but deep in meaning..

I can't log into Booksie lately.
So I haven't been in and it's hard to put in some work, and read and all. I don't know what to do.

if that's all it is maybe you can ask the booksie guy.
yes you should be able to get to him by the front page there.
I sure hope you can get in soon so you can express yourself again through your poetry. thankyou very much for the nice comment. Hope you are well and having a nice fourth of July
