July Wind

I walk amidst
A pathway of oak trees,
Pondering on my writings,
Sinking into those of others.
Philosophies linger in my mind
As each disappears into sub consciousness. 
 
Birds chirp
Gracefully in the fresh morning air
And the July wind sweeps through secure leaves,
A dry shower given. 
 
Sounds of critters who once lingered in the night.
Sounds of opposing amity among the boisterous waking hours.
 
 
The July wind weaves through secret corridors of nature,
Ready to give,
Ready to take,
A gift to cherish til the very end. 
 
A fantastic dream to wait for.

Short and sweet! Your words paint colorful images in my mind. The photo you chose to go with it seems to fit very nicley. My only advice would be to change "The July wind winds" to something like "The July wind advanced" or somthing alike. Either way wonderfuly written!

Personally this was not a poem for me and in no way does that me this poem was not good it was just that I really did not get it.

But then who am I.

Didn't mind it, thought it was kinda good. Not that I really undersatnd it, but it read well. Im not sure, well, yes I am, but sub consciousness is one word.

Many times have spent weeks contemplating Socrates, Sidartha Gutama, Tolstoy, and Jesus; but taking a break and relaxing in nature sometimes gave me greater joy. I see only in the beginning the poem reveals the mind, the rest seems to reveal the heart.

I see...

The brilliant whisperings of a Poetic Heart emoting creative beats of natural grace and altruistic beauty.

That's what I saw as I looked in to find what I could see to feel.

Aye August...

*Sighs*

This is stunning verse.

I love it.

Take care,

'Anna

Well, there really isnt anything I can say that somebody else hasnt already said, other than this really was a beautiful, moving piece of literature. I like how you made the last line a different color, it really made the poem extra special. Superb work!!!

Unusual

You come up with very unusual topics for writing. Even I have felt the July wind but didn't give it much thought. After reading your poem, I must say, I would. Enjoyed it.
