Lady Day
I touched upon the strangest day
And felt myself to be alone.
No matter what I craved to say,
My heart lay heavy like a stone.
I wandered through the fields of May,
Made merry thoughts my soul’s endeavour.
‘Though fashioned from some blood-stained clay
From mere base earth my mind did sever.
I breathed the air of aeons new;
The wildest, freshest breeze.
I licked the pearls of morning’s dew,
Stepped on with new-found ease.
Some linger within their own cell
And make their spheres a self-made hell.

Thanks, Jeanne.
I'm glad you liked it. I wrote it a few years ago and I sort of like it myself. I appreciate your comment.
I like it, Coeur-de-Lion
I don't usually read much poetry, but this one caught my eye and I found myself reading it, not once, but several times. Thanks.
