Instrument of Love

It's been a while since I sat down and wrote a poem. I became inspired by a friend's Facebook posting that included the line "I am an instrument." Somehow that got my creative juices flowing to put this together.


Instrument of Love

I am an instrument of love
With heart's melodic tunes
Waiting to be sung aloud

Released upon your whispers
And flowing from your touch
Gliding amongst the breeze

Settling into your soul
Attuning to your heartbeats
A symphony composed

Delicate Strings

This poem was actually written in November of last year but I thought it worth sharing...

Delicate Strings

My thoughts are suspended
Dangling on delicate strings
Of pauses, doubt and wonder
Unable to comprehend them
Snow flurries behind my eyes
Dazzling and taunting me
If only I could grasp
At those delicate strings

(c) Jennifer L Moudy

oneword: stand

I don't get to oneword.com as often as I'd like to, but here is today's thoughts on "stand":

standing here
wondering
loneliness
setting in
I close my eyes
silhouette
leaving me
I'm all alone
emptiness
in my heart
love's absence
no longer alive

(c) Jennifer L Moudy

deep thoughts

I've been so busy with life these days... with learning a new job and trying to cram so much new information into my brain from two evening classes at school. Yesterday, however, I was having a conversation at work about making money and how it's less than it's been in awhile. (I'm sure many of you can relate to this.) And here's a thought that occurred to me...

In life we must fall in order to better appreciate the view from the top.

Hopefully that isn't something that was tucked away in my brain from someone else, but I don't believe it is.

Love Unconditional

I started working on this a couple of weeks ago and just picked it up to finish it. I actually have the beat in my head for these words as they sounded like great song lyrics to me. What do you think?

Love Unconditional

Holding my heart
In the palm of my hand
Broken and
Incomplete
Time standing still
Vulnerable
How could this be I'm
So emotional

And all I ever wanted
Was something rational
All I had to give was
My love unconditional
But all you could do
Was to treat me like a criminal
Interrogating my every word
Questioning everything I'd do

How could I have
Been so blind
To see that you were
Completely damaged
How could this be
I'm left standing
Here all alone
My love unconditional

(c) Jennifer L Moudy

rays of sunshine

It truly is amazing how life can present us with amazing blessings when least expected; how life can warm our lives with rays of sunshine during our darkest, dreariest moments. This year is finally looking up for me and I have to believe it's because I've hung on even when my grip was softening, and tried to tell myself numerous times that it's in the struggling that I'll somehow grow and be rewarded in the end.

It looks like I may finally have myself a full-time job after 1.5 years of searching. This comes about when I feel like I've hit one of my lowest points and am trying to bounce back. It also looks like I'll also have the opportunity to display a few pieces of my photographic work at my potential workplace. Oh, and I'm going back to school with classes starting next week. Yes, I am being blessed with great, new changes.

a random thought...

Thought of this two days ago while driving in the car...

The goodness that lies within your heart determines how beautiful you are as a person.

oneword... belong

Are you a lover of the written word? If so, you must check out www.oneword.com. It's a great site for getting your creative juices flowing. Upon hitting the "go" button one word is displayed at the top of the screen and the race for 60 seconds of free-flowing writing begins. Don't think. Just type.

The following is what I came up with on Saturday, December 13th...

oneword: belong

my heart belongs to you
eternal as the sunshine
my love forever a bloom
in your secret garden

Hmmm. Sounds like the makings of an interesting poem. Or is it already complete?
