mind unwind
there was a life i lived
in a paper swamp
where i wrote all that dropped
where i lay in front of
green moldy thought
bright trees sinking
covered in moss
and drowned in it
all the thoughts that could come through
like i was lost in my dew
deep open leaves
too many thoughts
stretched and taught
unravelling
im leaning
in fogged clouds
paused and dreaming
in a paper swamp
where i wrote all that dropped
where i lay in front of
green moldy thought
bright trees sinking
covered in moss
and drowned in it
all the thoughts that could come through
like i was lost in my dew
deep open leaves
too many thoughts
stretched and taught
unravelling
im leaning
in fogged clouds
paused and dreaming

I love your way of dreaming...I love your way of relaxing...part of me is like you...
'where i lay in front of
green moldy thought
bright trees sinking
covered in moss
and drowned in it "--The green moldy thought...sinking trees covered in moss...they are nature metaphor I love...
Lovely you with lovely thoughts Marielle!
love
Jasmine

thank you rose, yes this is definitely me dreaming and relaxing, the swamp of thoughts submissing in the bliss of our dreams, thank you love <3
This is such a day-dreamy verse! I thoroughly enjoyed the imagery this evoked, as well as the relation to the magic of nature. You have requested honest critique; therefore, I would like to honor that with the following suggestions:

there was a life i lived
in a paper swamp
[where] i wrote all that dropped
[where] i lay in front
(of ) green ( , ) moldy thought
bright trees sinking
covered [in] ( with ) moss
[and] drown( ing ) in it
[all the]( Too many ) thoughts that [could come] ( came ) through
[like i was lost in my dew ]
( as ) deep open leaves
[too many thoughts]
stretched and taught
unravelling
im leaning
[in] ( against ) fogged clouds
paused and dreaming
There were a few extraneous words, as well as repetitious ones I suggested you replace; however, the challenge was in stanza 3. It was over-worded to the point of confusion, distracting from the imagery. I also recommended space for the ending to breathe.
Again, lovely verse with meditative imagery!
