A Haven Away

Linda Giffen

Free verse
Living in the sound of nature
dreamy imaginations
share
Smiles and blue skies
And favor
worlds away and safer there

Watch for a place of wonder
Okay
Find somewhere lonely
 a haven away
from the cries up yonder
 you falter unsure
Calling as I watch you sway

Oh trembling foundation
 I am touched by all your sighs
You're slipping further
In the isolation
so I say
 rise
you must rise

Reach up and grab the clouds
Today
While the golden colors fly
They fly
You can touch them now
don't waver
ever
You can feel them if you try

    Wow, I am absolutely captivated by your poem "Living in the sound of nature"! Your use of imagery and descriptive language creates a dreamy, optimistic atmosphere that really resonates with me. I love how you emphasize finding comfort in nature, and the idea of a "haven away" is so powerful.

    One suggestion I have would be to maybe add some more specific examples or details to really bring the poem to life even more. For instance, describing the feel of the sunshine on your skin or the scent of the flowers around you could make the scene even more vivid.

    Overall, though, I was really touched by your words and inspired by the message of perseverance and hope. Keep up the amazing work!
