The Long & Winding Road
I write this for all dreamers and fellow travellers of the long and winding road, the manifesters of their own wonderful reality. Believe. Inspired by the beautiful Beatles song “The Long & Winding Road” ....... here
The Long & Winding Road belongs to the following groups:
All Out Emotion, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Core [C.O.R.E], Inspired By Life, Live, Love, Dream: , Nirvana (Only 1 photographic art and 1 written work will be accepted per day ), The Red Writing Room and Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom!Silver moonbeams fall
Lighting the way through the dark
To walk quietly
Holding all strength deep inside
See your lifelong dreams unfold
There are ominous noises and unexpected pitfalls in the shadowy forest of midnight dreams where the air is thick and full with rich, earthy smells and silver moonbeams fall through the trees to comfort and light the narrow path of the dreamer, the lone traveler. Let your bare feet glide forward and fall silently so as not to cause chaos in the natural wonder of the sacred woven. Listen carefully in the hushed silence of nightfall and you will hear the whispered conversations of the wind with the trees and the last musical heart notes of wild forest ferns that will ring in a joyful new morning filled with your dreams. They will teach you all you really need to know. The owl will hoot and rock from foot to foot as you allow your spirit to believe and soar and when you glimpse his wink and his nodding head aloft, you will know that you are on the right path. Hold fast to all your dreams in the hidden folds of your soft and shining cotton as you whisper them through the lonely nights and into the rock of reality and if you must cry then turn silently to the comfort of the morning dew and she will lovingly cry with you and when you see your lifelong dreams unfold like warm waves of molten gold, then run to share your manifested beauty, your deep and boundless joy, with all your beloved, lest they have lost their hope somewhere on the long and winding road.
I will always be a dreamer. I will always dream that my dreams will lead me back to the door where you left me standing on the long and winding road, so long, long ago.

I will always be a dreamer…...absolutely Jane! For a long time, I’ve been walking around like a zombie, I have awaken to a new day, new me, dreams that have been buried so deep, they are only starting to emerge now….sometimes reality gets in the way of our dreams, but somehow, our soul lets them out, at the right time and the right place, when you are READY!! Lovely write!!
JaneSolomon replied 14 days ago
This is very true about the soul princessleah and I firmly believe in divine timing too. We may wish and ache for things but they will only happen when we are ready. xx

In living and dealing with life in the mundane, we all must escape to our dreams for a respite to re-fabricate the lining of our sanity. Your words so beautifully describe the dreams.

I had time only to mark this as a favorite to come back to Jane but I truly wanted to express my admiration for the beauty of this phenomenal piece. You are such an artist with this form, Jane, which allows you to share something so lovely, so full of beautiful imagery that it inspires us all to be dreamers, to keep our hearts open, to keep the faith that our dreams will unfold just as they were meant to. Incredibly beautiful!

For me…. an urbanite… with a forest soul, is the window to all that I love more than my own image.
I have loved so much this “will hear the whispered conversations of the wind with the trees and the last musical heart notes of wild forest ferns”... never could I think that the ferns were so musical, but now I can remember… yes…. strong and flexible, musing mysteries under theair so prolific leaves.
Beautiful Jane.

A beautiful piece Jane that reminds us that life takes us forward even if at times we feel we are taking backward steps – to keep dreaming is precious indeed, we need something to hold as our own and when those dreams manifest, well that is wonderus indeed. X
