Written for: Verse First and Poetry Jam
Verse First - The Places I Love
Consider the places you love and all that they mean to you. Say their names aloud. Listen to their rhythm. Embrace the emotions they evoke, and then write an ode to those wondrous locales.
In a time long gone by
That I see in my mind's eye
Perhaps lifetimes that I came in before.
dharma = right thought, right speech, right action, duty
How strange that I recently took part in a blog festival via my blog Someday Somewhere and my chosen theme was 7 journeys I would love to take. I was truly lost in my dreams those 7 days.
Featuring poems
One of the things I learned through that festival was that it gave me great joy to pay it forward by featuring posts so will be doing that in future on all my posts. So here is one that I absolutely loved: Helen's Lost Youth.

author's image taken from my lounge
In this life there are places I've seen
Wondrous, beautiful and so serene
The hills and mountains spiritual and grand
Valleys and plains all across the land
Woods and forests quiet and mysterious
But explore with care for they can be nefarious
Rivers and streams and babbling brooks
Crags and cliffs and caves and nooks
Meadows of flowers, shores and the sea
Any place where my spirit is free
These are the places in this world that I love
Breathtaking, amazing, and those I'm in awe of

Poetry Jam - Lost
Reflect on something "lost" and write about it. Or a time you were lost. Or a way you were lost. Or perhaps think about what you would like to be able to lose?

I am lost in my dreams
Of places unseen
The ones that my soul longs for
Where the Gods walked the Earth
To teach us our worth
And karma, dharma and more
I am lost in my dreams
Of places unseen
Or somewhere before have explored?
In a time long gone by
That I see in my mind's eye
Perhaps lifetimes that I came in before.
