“Perspective ..” She Said by Cat Forsley ©
“PERSPECTIVE …” SHE SAID SPOKEN WORD CAT FORSLEY ©
“Perspective …”
She Said -
As She Opened her petals one by one .
Slowly – Languidly She Opened
To Reveal the inner most truth of whom she Is
I imagine a speech bubble above her inner core:
Like A Child Draws
Like a Child Loves
Like a Child Does
A World Within Her
Yet she is Tiny
And Blooms For just a few days .
I Find Joy and Grace in her Little words
Her Unfolding Nature
Nature Unfolds Her .
She is simple yet holds a miracle
in all her gestures
She is Born Of Earth and Air and Water
Lives – Lives – Lives
Blooms to Full capacity
and then she Fades and withers
Her Petals drop
One By One
Leaving Proof That she was here .
“Perspective “
She said That one afternoon
When The Earth was spinning
at speed I cannot even comprehend
In My Mind
“Perspective ……..”
and she said more …..
“We are worlds within worlds and specks of littleness that No one can see .
A dot
But a Universe as well”
And then she added ….
“To Really Know Yourself
You have to have perspective.
You are Nothing and everything
You are Just a Heart in a Body.
The Only Thing You leave behind when You Go
is Love ….”
An Inner Dialogue with a Flower
A Tulip
Is a wonderful way To Spend The day …

OH MY GOSH – WE WERE – IN THE SAME PLACE TODAY!
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS POST OF YOURS.
COULD HEAR HER DIALOGUE….
FELT LIKE YOU AND I HOVERING IN SPACE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION
WITH THE PETALS OF A TULIP…
A ROSE….
MAGNOLIAS.
I HEARD THE SHADED GRASSES BECKONING ME TODAY.
TURNED TO GO….
BUT COULDN’T.
I HAD TO SIT THERE A WHILE….
ASKING THEM WHAT THEY WISHED TO SAY.
‘PERSPECTIVE’ SEEMS TO SUM IT UP BEAUTIFULLY.
I LOVE THIS.
LOVE-ING YOU….
FROM GEORGIA TO YOU….
XOXOXO
I KNOW HUH ……
THAT WAS A LOVELY SYNCHED MOMENT ……
TULIPS AND ROSES

“specks of littleness that No one can see”
All I can think of is the tiny speck inside an oyster that turns into a pearl. I love it. I hear these things in most everything. Perspective, indeed.

Cat all your poems are marvelous but this one is just superb….what an amazingly lovely inspiring poetry



yes we all are small dots and yet big universes in ourselves and the aura we leave behind lets colour it with love
loved it
God has written poetry and quotes in so many forms all around us if we just take time to see and listen to them..every bird,flower,creature tells us hundreds of beautiful things
This is not just a poetry, its a prayer and a mantra for not just surviving but LIVING
