I Seek
By mishmish

This poem was written in my car coming back from Devon last night (Sunday). I love Devon and I wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately life and work beckoned in London so I had to leave. These words reflect what freedom means to me....

Painted skies
Pale blue
Endless

Candyfloss clouds
Soft white
Dotted

Sweeping hills
Rich verdian
Encircling

Laden branches
Leaf green
Arching

Mysterious sea
Ultra marine
Engulfing

Soft sands
Glistening gold
Stretching

These define the freedom I seek...

Beautiful words ,expressed in a picture. I agree we are all looking for something somewhere. The secret is knowing what you want. 
Last time I was in Devon(Brixham) one of my children caught mumps and I could not go back to work. I was so upset.. I later found that my worry became joy as I did the important thing . I had communication with all my children and they and Devon were very important. Why would I be satisfied with less. 
Just thoughts,we need to do what we want to do. Thank you for your excellent poem...A few words saying such a lot....Happy evening.

Good simple descriptions as if you've been glancing at paintings. Do you have a yearning to spend more time outdoors in the world of nature? Perhaps you are screaming to get out - escape from something you don't want. However, I'm not a psychiatrist, sorry.
