MUSINGS (Thursday Poets Rally Week 28)
Mystifying love
choices made
her enticing soul
in monologue
a confusing mind
tearing golden threads
from her puzzled heart
pondering when
she’d be filled with glee
time to lift
her lonely spirit
and fill her beating heart
with whispers of hope
waiting
in absence
to a cosmos of life

Fantastic and I sooooooooo love Enigma! Your words and beauty mystify my soul and grant visions of dreams to my heart. Always those lovely “whispers of hope” that set softly on the soul even when puzzled. I know this place so very well. The music….perfect!!!!! 🙂 Sooooo happy to be back online and see these lovely words! FEEL them!
September 9, 2010 at 7:04 am
And I am so happy to see you back here again girlfriend. Hugs xx

A work of art, all of it 🙂 Thank you for this thought-provoking, visual treat. Here’s holding out for the ‘whispers of hope’ xo

People are the sum of their experiences multiplied by the wisdom they gained along the way.
By the way, I’ve tagged you for a short meme: Tagged!
September 9, 2010 at 7:05 am
Loved that meme of yours 🙂 Hugs x
September 10, 2010 at 5:25 am
I decided to create my own meme: The Agency
Please check it out – and share it with others!

I read the verse with the music video playing in the background. Enchanting, mesmerizing, with a mournful mood that draws a thoughtful retrospection of life and what really counts. Thank your for sharing this work of art, Amanda. Blessings to you and much love across the sea.

The lines:
“a confusing mind
tearing golden treads
from her puzzled heart”
put me in mind of how intellect can ride roughshod over the truth. Those are indeed golden treads.
September 8, 2010 at 1:59 pm

So appreciate you comments my friend xx Have a great day x
September 9, 2010 at 3:20 am
Seriously, are you an Enigma fan? Cuz if you are, then same pinch!! 🙂 I have all their music with me..
And ‘sadness’ is the BEST EVER choice for the poem you have written here.. wow!
A little reflective time can open up many closed doors.. we just need to find the time.. Reading this one with enigma playing was a soulful “experience” by itself… sad, relaxing, joyous, exciting… all emotions in a matter of a few minutes!
Beautifully done, my love…
mwaahhh to you! Leap out of it, sleep a little, and get going! You KNOW where you belong! And we know you will be in our hearts! Love ya so much, Amanda… hugsss
September 9, 2010 at 7:31 am

Amanda
Your poem was perfect — the Gregorian vocals in “Sadeness (Part I)” 1990 Enigma is my all time favorite of theirs. For creating the mood set to music for your poem this was “Perfection”. Enigma music goes with any love-lust and every thing in between concerning the emotion of the heart and soul.
Joanny
September 11, 2010 at 5:42 am
Joanny, that music is one of my all time favourites (I love Enigma) and has so much passion. I am happy you liked it, thanks as always for giving me the time and your comments means more than words can ever say. Have a wonderful weekend my friend xxx
September 10, 2010 at 9:27 pm
This is really great; I love how you use the music as inspiration for your work.
And thank you for commenting on my poem! xx
September 11, 2010 at 5:45 am
