Neha from ForgottenMeadows and I have decided to do a collective of collaborations each month, for the next five months. This collaboration is the second of five, and our topic this time around was Words. If you’re interested in reading  the first poem, you can find it here.
Neha’s a really good friend of mine and one of the most supportive people I’ve met on WordPress. If you haven’t checked out her blog already I suggest you do; through her amazing poetry there’s always something new to learn, and you get to look at life and nature in a different (but definitely good) way. Our third piece will be coming soon!
Neha’s sections are in this colour.
My sections are in this colour.
I pray
That you don’t fall prey
To the mind
Of conscious thoughts
Without a conscience
I pray
That you hear your heart
Beating right here
Inside you.
I pray
That in this words play
You stay a while
And listen.
You can place a phrase here
Or a word there
Rather, anywhere
You so gracefully choose
The words playÂ
To your selected tune,
Thought conveyance
Made tangible
So like-minds
Can explore, and find
Your feelings and deeper meanings.
Through a few words
A verse can turn
From absurd
To superb, In turn
Shape-shifting perception
And the reader’s reality.
A whole new playground
Of letters illustrating
Mental calisthenics
Rendering doubt defunct,
An unparalleled transcendence
In knowledge,
Of the self.
