Wings Of Soul Dust

[adagio311288]

This is one of my favourite poems of yours I have seen. It's written as well as all your others though the way it asks questions and the theme of stars is really nice.

@adagio311288

Thanks, Phillip! I love to ask questions in my poems, so it's always nice to hear that kind of stuff is appreciated! Sometimes I think of these poems as my more simpler writes, they're more imagery than philosophical/mystical thoughts. Thanks for listening to the older poems. :)

[kevinthinks]

Wow. See this is amazing. I think about things like this all of the time. I have always felt we trapped in illusion! I love the words of this poem!!!- Kevin

[HaleyMary]

Yeah, it's like sometimes people are so concerned with their day to day lives here on Earth that we can forget the wonders of the universe and what lies beyond. Thanks for listening to the poem and giving insight. Much appreciated. :)

[kevinthinks]

Yeah, and the way life is now a days you get to involved in working to survive instead of discovering yourself. Contemplating the universe lead me to discovering the mind. IF the universe is abundant and energy, would it be off to say that we are the same. Seems that thinking the opposite gets me what I don't want. I appreciate you spending the time to post your poems, they are great!!! -Kevin

[HaleyMary]

Yeah, exactly. :) For instance, since I started college, I have hardly had time to post poems and haven't had any time to write new ones that deal with philosophy and physics. I plan to take philosophy next semester, so maybe something in class will inspire me to write another poem to share on here.

It was the same thing for me with the universe. Learning about physics made me start to think about the bigger things in life and how the universe is so big and the Earth is so small in comparison.

[HaleyMary]

I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my poetry. Makes me feel like it was worthwhile to write and post them on here. :)

I love your poem a lot it's very awesome. It's especially nice to meet Marty he seems to be funny and a real character. :) *hugs* my friend take care. :)

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. I thought this one wasn't as good as the others, but it's nice if people enjoy it. :)

Yeah, Marty is a funny cat. He can be quite a rascal a lot of the time, too. :)

Thanks for so many comments. :)

[aorpete]

I love the poem & Marty the cat... lol... Hillarious! :D

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. Gotta love the cat, eh?

[CalgarSkull]

Stars energy matter being lost souls?? Very immaginative.

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. Yeah, this poem was more imagery than philosophy. I wrote this poem back in 2006, so it doesn't have as good a flow or rhyme as well as my more recent poems, but glad you liked it. :)

[CalgarSkull]

Just the suggestion of the idea gives me story ideas...I can wrote a movie in five seconds as long as I have a good idea. and that was good

[CalgarSkull]

Ooo good questions here

[caseyjooherown]

very good

i like the name of it

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. I'm not too sure why I titled the poem as I did. Sometimes I just sit down with a pen and paper and brainstorm titles off the top of my head and wings of soul dust is what I came up with. glad you enjoyed it. :)

[oliviadreamcatcher]

hi thats a wonderful poem. did you write it. i thought it was so good that i watched this video about 20 times and wrote down in my sketch book. i was wondering the one of the lines at the end is it " this LIGHT/FLIGHT, the light of the moon. any way keep posting i appeicatied it even though there is a lot of crackling in the sound. thanks so so much

[camcamleelee]

its funny how you can be talking about something totally profound and an animal will enter the room. i think people dont give animals enough credit.how many souls hide in the shadows? I bet kitties could tell us. they see things we cant.

[HaleyMary]

Yeah isn't it, eh? I have heard that animals can be more sensitive to energy than people can. My other cat Tika will sometimes start meowing loudly like really late at night to early in the morning. On the other hand, maybe cats and dogs also get scared by their own shadows, too. Who really knows? :)

[camcamleelee]

I really like this poem alot. and what you were talking about.

[HaleyMary]

Did I not explain it in the video? :O Ah, silly me. :P

I was trying to philosophize and relate matter, atoms, stardust and energy to a force that goes on after life. Sort of like an out of body experience except with atoms and energy continuing on and not in a new age sort of way, not like as a soul. I hope that helped you to make sense of the poem. Thanks for commenting. :)

[SolidBlue22]

youre kinda like the older sister i always wish i had..

[HaleyMary]

Aw, thank you. That's so nice of you to say. :)

I grew up an only child so the closest I ever had to siblings were my cats. Thanks for the comment. :)

[gualataco1982]

I love to read, too.

I like to make my own poems...

woww that cat looks fat hahaha, but I think it looks fat because it's very hairy, isn't it? but it's beautiful.

Nice words, and poem.

Chao!

[HaleyMary]

Yeah, my cat does look a little fat, doesn't he?  I think if I shaved him he would look skinnier, but I'm not about to find out. lol.

Glad you liked the poem. :)

[gualataco1982]

are you catholic?

[HaleyMary]

No. I grew up without religion in my life. My grandparents on my dad's side came from different religious backgrounds, protestanism and judaism. My mother is catholic, but I never converted and never went to church. My parents didn't force their beliefs on me, they let me figure out for myself what I wanted to believe in. I ended up choosing atheism.

What did you think of the poem? :)

[HaleyMary]

Also, I don't understand the point of the question as I find it difficult how someone would think they would be able to tell a religion of someone just by looking at them. Cultural background and religious background are two different things.

[gualataco1982]

I'm atheist, too, but I grew up in a very catholic home, I respect my parents religion, but I like evolution, like it is present in the island of my country the Galapágos!

Adios!

[fiwaszewski]

Great job!!

F

[HaleyMary]

Thanks. :)

"What is the energy in this immense vessel of matter?"

Well that's a big*question, religion defines it as spirit, which is a good description if ones desire is to touch on the side of its divinity, yet that term tends to focus most of ones attention onto the past, a more apt mental illustration would be to visualize a vibrating EFFERVESCENCE of cooperative, creative, connectivity of which We*Are an integral part all*ways . . . and for*ever.

[HaleyMary]

Yeah, I guess religion would define the energy as a spirit. If a person doesn't want to make the energy out to be something religious though I suppose it could be considered any of the four elements, maybe water? Or maybe just simply light? A few possibilities, anyway. Thanks for the comment. :)

[PeaceProfit]

i*choose effervescent as it best describes the attributes of the elements in motion

1 wines of uniform effervescence fizz, fizziness, sparkle, gassiness, carbonation, aeration, bubbliness

2 his cheeky effervescence vivacity, liveliness, animation, high spirits, ebullience, exuberance, buoyancy, sparkle, gaiety, jollity, cheerfulness, perkiness, breeziness, enthusiasm, irrepressibility, vitality, zest, energy, dynamism, pep, bounce, spunk

The fiery, functioning Universe/Our*Energy ;)

[freetaught]

Oh my goodness! Your cat has so much fur. I was caught off guard, but I love it!

[HaleyMary]

Yeah, my cat tends to surprise me sometimes. He never seems to want to be around whenever I call him, but as soon as I ignore him or am busy with something that's when he decides to be on camera. Cats are funny that way. Thanks for the comment. :)

[RoobyJuice]

Beautiful words.

Beautiful you.

Beautiful cat! :)

[HaleyMary]

Thanks, Sarah. Glad you liked the poem. I'm going to try to get a video of my cat later today. It seems like he doesn't want to be on video whenever I try to get a video of him, though. Hope you're having a good day. :)

[sportsbettor101]

Nice poem.I'm not too sure I'd be free in zero gravity tho.I see you trained your cat pretty quickly.:)

[HaleyMary]

Glad you liked the poem. :)

Yeah, I try training my cat. Sometimes Marty listens to me and sometimes he doesn't. He seems to have a mind of his own most days. :P

Thanks for the comment. :)
