Cloud 9

I've never been this close to the sun before,
or felt the true splendor of it's passionate gaze
Nor, drawn a breath more rich with life
flooding my lungs this way

You've carried my soul for miles and miles,
from the cold...from the dark it knew
Unto the realm of the blissful clouds,
what resplendence, they imbue

A soothing breeze awakes the nerves,
that slept inside for years
The quelling freeze, begins to ease
as glory melts my fears

So different is this scenic place,
from whence the one I came
So potent is the joy I feel,
that I don't act the same

I find it hard to write of woes,
when all I feel is love
That chronic art I once enjoyed,
I can't imagine of

The gripping pain my heart adored,
and held since long ago
Is distant thrown from heightening clouds,
down to the seas below

Dear Linda,
My warm-hearted frienda. Thanks again for stopping in and blessing my poem with your kind words of encouragement!I haven't really thought about publishing any of these poems on here....but I guess some of them are worthy of being seen out there(lolz). Amazing how I used to enjoy writing about my sadness, but now I can't even conjure up a sad thought ^ _ ^

--Every single one of yours should be published though...I think not only this site enjoys them, I think the world would be most enthused to read the smashing works of Linda R. O'Connell~~

Bryce,

As far as you writing about your sadness before......see what being IN LOVE can do to a person???
and...see what writing poetry can do for a person also.......
and.... when you mix the two together....WOW!!!!
I'm so happy for you Bryce,
Linda
ps, thanks for your kind words about my poems...you are too nice...mine pale compared to yours!
