Shared with Poets and Storytellers United Prompt: Something that feels luxurious
Shared with dVerse OpenLinkNight 400
Luxurious
Luxurious tends to live
in a cold atmosphere,
surface glitter.
But underneath
there is an ocean of air,
life giving,
life expanding.
Breathe.
There is a heart that beats
to the rhythm of excitement.
Aliveness rises
when the mind aligns
with the universe.
What sways in the ether
is a luxury.
The ether carries light
to reveal unspoken words,
the quiet quality of pearls.
Words can redirect energy.
They can alter reality
as they slowly alchemise the mind
of those who open their hearts.
So spread yours.
Words filled with truth,
love, honesty, peace.
Sing them.
Speak them.
Tell stories
to spread wealth.
Ah the power of the words we wield
ReplyDeleteNice one, Marja
🎇much love
Spread them like seeds. I like these lines best: Words can redirect energy.
ReplyDeleteThey can alter reality
Me too 👍
DeleteMarja, I'm reading a book right now on purposeful prayer. Your poem made me think of it. My favorite part of yours:
ReplyDelete"Words can redirect energy.
They can alter reality
as they slowly alchemise the mind
of those who open their hearts."
Your words are meditative and conjure hope through words.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I so agree that
ReplyDeleteAliveness rises
when the mind aligns
with the universe.
and
Words can redirect energy.
They can alter reality
as they slowly alchemise the mind
of those who open their hearts.
So spread yours.
Words filled with truth,
love, honesty, peace.
Thanks Great minds think alike ❤️
DeleteSo spread yours. Words filled with truth, love, honesty, peace."
ReplyDeleteYep. We need a lot more of that.
The best kind of wealth 👏
ReplyDeleteMuito lindo, como sempre aqui! beijos, tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDeleteI love "Words can redirect energy/They can alter reality", although perhaps reality is what it is and only our perception or understanding of it changes.
ReplyDeleteWe poets must be the richest people on earth, Marja! I love these lines especially:
ReplyDelete‘The ether carries light
to reveal unspoken words,
the quiet quality of pearls’
and
‘Words…can alter reality
as they slowly alchemise the mind
of those who open their hearts.’
Words are only powerful on receptive ears. Just ask people resisting ICE in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteWords are indeed powerful!
ReplyDeleteI share your love and respect for words Marja! This is fine piece you wrote here — thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob Yes I loved your poem too. Our words touched the same sky ❤️

ReplyDeleteHaving the power to word thoughts is luxury and empowering
ReplyDeleteLove the message - spread love and gratitude.
ReplyDeleteLove love love what thrives beneath your surface glitter!! Happy to know you as a fellow blogger and poet, Marja.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen Your words mean a lot. Happy to know you as well ❤️
Deletewe can do a lot as poets...
ReplyDeleteGlad you analyzed, to an extent the calling and making of a luxury. I searched for a picture of a 1969 Ford Thunderbird car like the one I had in 1970. That car was my to be luxury. But instead I had my goofy waking up poem.
ReplyDeletelovely writing...
ReplyDeleteLove, peace and joy are a necessary luxury, and words do really have the power to bring it. So aptly implied in your poem
ReplyDeleteSpread the wealth. I think I will! Love this. Beautiful imagery and turn of a phrase. I think the best part about poetry is the underlying current of emotion and I came away from this feeling peaceful and encouraged.
ReplyDeleteVery strong and positive thought:
ReplyDeleteSo spread yours.
Words filled with truth,
love, honesty, peace.
"Words can redirect energy." That one line says so much. Love this, Marja!
