What a great reminder that it must be a determined choice to look outward and upward! Caves are great...we just can't allow ourselves to hibernate there forever!

Being alone and enjoying it is a gift benefitting our well-being.

Your posting is a reminder that it is important to stay in touch with our feelings and that happens a lot when we have the chance to spend some private time doing a bit of deep thinking.

Your last thought written here is especially meaningful: Commune with the Creator.

This is an interesting piece of art and you have written well in response to what it inspired within you.

The cave's mouth is like a doorway leading into infinity which gives cause to consider the Creator.

Very well done, Joan. :)

I like this so much I will offer a possible, but unnecessary change; the last two words in the second stanz, mabe clearing minds ... ? No matter, it's incredible as us. I fell in at once. Bravo!

-A good picture to write about and
a good presentation, Joan.
-You have written a good poem for it.
-A good opening verse about the
nature of a "protective cave."
-The sound of water clears your mind,
and that allows you to experience
new thoughts and feelings "to
commune to the Creator."
-Well done; thanks for sharing.

I can relate to your words. Looking out at the sea brings me close to our Creator. I like the feelings and images that come forth in your words. Your free verse form fits the picture perfectly. There is also a light feel and flow to your words, excellent free verse form.

I love the mood this piece creates... it evokes a sense of peacefulness while the image helps the reader place himself/herself within each line, experiencing what you are actually describing.

Nothing like time alone, as you've said in your words 'lets you see infinity'
Perfect choice of picture. Really tells a story of complete relaxation.
I would have awarded you six stars,but mine are all used at the moment. I'm of now to have my time alone in the garden All the best

This poem conveys a sense of calmness and a lilting beauty. I found your line "lets you see infinity" interesting. As if from the cave you are given a telescopic view into the universe. That, along with climbing mountains to commune with God definitely lend itself to a deep spiritual perspective.
Thanks for sharing! Julie
