Whispers of the soul
Chanting of the heart
Tribulations of the mind
Guide my fingers to write
Open up, don’t be afraid
Everything will be OK
Transmuting feelings into words
Letting them go and be
Clearing the foliage of my being
Tenderly falling like autumn leaves
Landing on my fingertips
Who in trance, dance and type
Without asking why
An open heart, bleeding feelings
An egocentric mind playing drama games
A juggling soul offering light
Writing poems is their thing
For they do it as a team
Being fair to what each feels

'Clearing the foliage of my being' ~ perfect imagery.
Deep as a river and light as a feather.... :)
Gabriela, This poem is truly wonderful. I love "clearing the foliage of my being" ah that is just perfect. Isn't it what most of us are trying to do? Bravo!
That is one of the best of the best I have read in a long time!
It expressed so much that is me for me to see... Only poetry can do that. As Kristen said, Bravo!
Superb...you caught the process that occurs before a poem is spilled on paper so nicely...well done.
Cheers!
Transmuting feelings into words is something you're especially good at.
Yes let it flow! Write, write, write!
Very nice and it really takes you to the writer´s mind.
And doing it all again, come Spring. ;)

Ah yes, to sort the pile of the leaves of my thoughts, one must select by color, shape, structure....
Lovely poem.
Nice magpie.
Feelings turning into words
and tenderly falling like autumn leaves that land on the fingertips, and the uncomplaining fingertips dancing and typing.... beautiful!
My fav mag till now Gabriela... Loved each line and the thought behind it.. Super Magpie
I'm barely discovering the magic of poetry. Your poem is so lovely and summarizes the process so well-it makes me glad to have found this blog.
I must follow it. Will enjoy getting to know you.
Oh how I wish I could thread poetry through my life so eloquently.
Beautifully evoked, and again very in tune with all that is and life. It is wonderful to see you shining through your poetry. :) Have a beautiful day
Beautiful words from a beautiful heart...i love this Gabriela!

Awesome poem. I hate when I'm trying to write and this just doesn't happen. --__--
I have to agree with you... writing comes from an unknown place... it just flows.

Writing is an adventure, it opens us, bleeds us, juggles us into a different sphere.
Enjoyed your Magpie, poet to poet!

...the foliage of my being
Tenderly falling like autumn leaves
Landing on my fingertips

Perfect metaphor
