this is a challenge by devilrod, it is to be an ode to yourself; as if you dreamed a fantastic dream and saw yourself in a new light. sounds perfectly nice but for me it was difficult. I double dare others to take this challenge, I would REALLY like to learn more of 'Odes'
well, I looked up odes, and I am not satisfied that I have done this right. If anyone has experience in odes PLEASE give this a try so that I may learn them.
So, for me, my dream would be to be transformed through cosmic healing rays as a healer. What is your dream? ^_^

(an ode to the healing power within:)
in my mind I see colors
inspiring me
*
in the dust and the dew
I am captured by few.
Only the peaceful;
the sheer cosmic dance.
*
Swept out of a dream
I come to you
*
Now in my long hour I say my prayer
and it is answered.
*
May I be the messenger?
The keeper of good will?
May I sway in the cradle
til' time becomes still?
*******************
it began so delighful,
a divine cosmic dance,
sweeping me into
a silent romance.
Combined with the earth,
water, air, ether, fire;
the energy surmounts
like an active live wire.
Sparks are ignighted
the flow becomes strong.
Humming around me
is Gods Holy song.
I empty His Grace from my hands to you
Simply because
I love you.

Well katie, an ode is usually serious stuff. Like olden days serious stuff.
My fav line of yours is Humming around me. That speaks volumes to me.
You've done really well! How healing and thought provoking was this for you? I might find things I don't want if I were to attempt this about myself!
You rock.

What a beautiful song! You've written it like a truly enlightened soul, completely at ease within and without. I loved each and every word of it!

Wow! This is beautiful. Well written and loved the imagery. (Thanks for helping). I wish you well and God Bless. Lisa

Yes, I do think it is song-like, although not in the classical Greek sense. But then, we are in a different era, with different ways of living and looking at things. It is but natural that the forms of expressions change too. And exalted is as exalted does. You don't have to use lofty language to say something profound; in fact, I think that only a master can say something profound using simple, day-to-day words.
Oh, and thanks for the compliment. I enjoyed interpreting those brilliant pieces of Classy!

As ever, a beautiful poem from you. Whether you call it an ode or whatever, it's your truth.
Ode rules seem very complicated, from what you have said. I don't think that I could write an ode on myself. But maybe, just maybe, I'll polish up my humility and give it a try.
The only ode that I remember reading is: Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats.
What's a Grecian urn?
See ya.

A Grecian used to urn Drachmas, but these days they earn Euros. LOL (sheepishly)

Katie... Perhaps I am in a sentimental mood this morning but I am sitting here, my eyes swelling with tears for the beauty of your words. I can say no more at the moment but please know that your words have genuinely spoken to and touched my heart.
Love and light.....Jerry xoxo

For some reason, I'm amazed but not suprised with your poetry. Or ode. What a beautiful insight to yourself, and what you wish to be. With your powerful words, you already are a healer. You heal me every day.

wow, a really strong, beautiful, flowing ode to yourself. It comes across as a sense of an healing process that maybe you went through, and now is a part of yourself which you are able to offer to others. The ode as a very reaching out to people feel, as though writing about yourself you are also writing about other people,or how you like to reach out to them. This is closely linked to nature and a natural sense of healing which takes into account a spiritual sense of being.
