The Lilac Dawn Helps Me Remember…
I am all that is
And so are You
In the infinite vastness
of who I am
with the stars circling
around my head
my feet paddle
in the unbounded power
of the blue beyond
I watch as the lilac dawn
is washed with gold
and rose-tipped mountains
soar around me
and trees are brushed
with the rising light
I am the Sun
I am the multicoloured
splinter of light
reflected
through the prism of this plane
I am the infinite vastness
Of all that is One
Just as You are too.
I am all that is
And so are You
In the infinite vastness
of who I am
with the stars circling
around my head
my feet paddle
in the unbounded power
of the blue beyond
I watch as the lilac dawn
is washed with gold
and rose-tipped mountains
soar around me
and trees are brushed
with the rising light
I am the Sun
I am the multicoloured
splinter of light
reflected
through the prism of this plane
I am the infinite vastness
Of all that is One
Just as You are too.

I liked the way you began the poem
I am all that is
And so are You
its important to understand we are what we are, and the same to others as well
my feet paddle
in the unbounded power
of the blue beyond
We all paddle don't we, a desperate attempt to float.. very nicely said
Oh, this is wicked (slang for brilliant...?)image and verse - do you ever blow the photos up?
Called in to ask if you'd come across this site - hope the addy runs off in one.

Thanks, Rambler - glad you enjoyed it. What I like about poetry is that everyone takes away their own meaning from the words.
Thanks, Julie, I've only ever blown up one or two - thing is, I don't actually know what I'd do with them if I did!
Thanks for the link - took a look - Atyllah the Hen is very approving! ;-)
Wow! Love the poem!
I pulled up sharp at the word 'paddle' at first but then I reckon it sort of counterbalances the stars around head and unbounded power. A sort of contrast I think!
Cor that was a bit deep for me!
Beautiful work. Love the reference to the splinter of dawn.
This poem changed my day...thank you AV.
good morning
All is one, but we are also separate, too. Paradox!!
Love the poem and the pic, too.
I think you make a good point about the word "paddle" Jon, but it fitted at the time and so there it sits :-)
Thanks, David.
I hope it changed your day only in a very good way, Kat :-)
Good morning to you too, Mistress Taffiny! :-)
It's the nature of the human condition, isn't it, Reya, all this duality.
nice poem and picture
Hi Ave. Pretty words and a trippy pic? You taking too many hallucagenic meds? You're going very psychodelic on us! hehe.
Sorry this is a flying visit, will come back properly in a wee while. I've left you a pressie at me blog! xx
Just incredible. That's all I have to say.
wonderful.... and thanks for your contest entry; it was really nicely done and i hope i'll have feedback for you shortly.
The gorgeous image and the wonderful words speak for itself.
'I am all that is
And so are You'
That's Kinda deep. I like it.
Thanks, Ropi!
Hmm, no hallucinogenic meds, as far as I'm aware, Baino, but then you never know what they might put in all those Chinese remedies I take :-)
Ooh, thanks, V - here's roaring right back at ya! ;-)
Thanks, Brian Damage :-)
Thanks, Moonratty - I shall look out for your feedback - feedback is always good and very useful, especially since I've got to start thinking about getting my covering letter and synopsis together!
I'm glad you like them, Monique.
Glad you liked it, Steve and good to see you back out and about in the blogosphere, you've been missed.
this is amazing, loved it :)
AV - I almost tipped you off about Chartwell but thought you might be busy! The house is stuffed with memorabilia and even the writing desk he built himself to stand at. I'll go over with the new camera when I'm back on my feet.
So lovely and mystical!
We are all a part of this universe and it a part of us,wonder why we always seek to stand apart...
beautiful....totally transcendent. thank you.....ommmmmmmm
Thanks, Lena, so glad you enjoyed it!
I'll definitely have to visit Chartwell the next time I'm in the UK, Julie.
I think it's fear, ego and a forgetfulness of who/what we truly are that keeps us apart, Sameera.
:-) So glad you enjoyed it, Kimy.
im not a critic of poetry, since i can barely write it myself.
but i liked this, some of the images ahd such a surreal feeling, metaphysical.
stunning! what else is there to say??
