Tendrils of self

reaching out

touching

searching

looking for those

meant to do the same

 

The feeling of linking

the way showing

our paths

humanity's destiny

Union

pictures of

going up in energy

joining All

 

..emotions do strange things

to one's perception..

I think my problem with it is that I just don't like so many lines with so few words; at least in this case. It just seems to me like you're trying to stretch it out too much. I don't really know anything about style, but that's just my personal opinion. I wanted to make a constructive comment for a change, hope it helps.

Tried to post here last night but connection failed

 

I like the similarities portrayed between emotions and those of the interweaving undergrowth in a forest. Very well done - good comparison and thought through in a beautiful format :)

undergrowth in a forest.. now there's an image that I didn't couple with this one yet.. I like it ^_^

 

Thanks for all comments.. I'm leaving it as it is, since that's how I felt at that moment. I can see your point Loki.. but the "stretching it" feeling is part of the poem ;)

Re-reading it I can see how it can work confusing for those not familiar with the terms The Way and paths.. at least not in the way I used them there.

They have a divine origin, maybe that helps?

I like this Appy. Comparing this to your first few posts here, I see an marked improvement as you keep writing, and I "hear" your voice coming through more honestly and clearly.
