Always wandering, but forever found
Adrift in her mind, thoughts abound
Always dreaming, but never asleep
Secrets unknown, her soul to keep
Always running, untamed and free
Wild abandon, a rush like the sea
Always loving, within her heart
Fear of losing herself quietly departs
Always fiery, stirring within
Sometimes rage is her finest sin
Always flawed, but standing tall
With her conviction, sheβll never fall
Always silent, watching from afar
Looking up, wishing upon a star
Always musing, forever feeling
Intuition strong, never fleeting
Always contemplating, scars of the past
Healing takes time, pain wonβt last
Always remembering, this too shall pass
A warmth she feels is beginning at last
No more running, a long road to stay
To live and love for another day
Β©οΈ Laura Bennett

Your verses paint a world so vast,
Emotions deep, like oceans cast.
A soul that soars, a heart so true,
A life of dreams, a spirit new.

Beyond pretty … Ya know that magical moment in time when it’s eclipsing and there’s this twilight glow that softly envelops the trees, plants, and flowers. No one notices, because they are so busy trying to burn their retinas looking up. But if you’re keen on keeping your eyesight, you’ll notice this fleeting lighted essence and that’s what your gorgeous image and beautiful poetry reminded me of today, Laura β€ ~ Thank you !!!

Thank you Laura … Just so you know; that’s how you “came” to me … very strong through that last eclipse! I’ve been watching you soar ever sense … major shifts are coming your way, like a tide of long-awaited anticipation. Something is up in your world, but very very good! I normally hold back especially if it’s not that great, but seriously … do you know of something!?
