I Write What Comes

I write what blows forth
with the heaving wind;
through the trees that speak –
from the open fields
off the vast blue sea…

I write the clouds
and the sun’s rays;
of the dying stars
and each black hole –

I write what
universe
bids me write.

These words
are their

voice.

    Kristin… I don’t see the stars as ‘dying’.
    Eternal Living Love Consciousness…
    All that is, and death just isn’t possible.
    Infinite ways to ‘see’... let’s choose the best! (or let ‘IT’ choose us)

    A great piece of writintg here, personifying nature.
    I Love it! :)

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    lee…there has to be death in order for rebirth. even stars die/transform/become a higher form of themselves. you’re taking the word Dying too literally here. :) there can be no death for a true star, the only death comes as hell…as law…as rock…to live as rock, IMO, is the epitome of living”death”. :)

    If this is what comes, Kristin – then if it please the universe, keep it coming. I think this is true of everyone who considers himself/herself a poet though few express it as movingly as you do.

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    Much of my writing is like that. I would have a general theme to write about and then the words come as I write it out. I instinctively know when the poem is finished and just stop. Excellent writing K.

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    me, too, me, too. it’s just like that. :) thanks, friend, love, K xo

    the simple truth rendered beautiful by a poets pen.
    you are what st francis called a channel of god’s peace. from one point of view, just a transcriber, but from another point of view, blessed.

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    Wow, to say thank you would sound like trash blowing in the wind…coming from you, this comment means so much. :)
