Sparrows of branches
rains tragic tempo
the dance
is the butterfly
mist on the mountain
no lover to hold me
its all flimsy anyhow
the rain drowns
its puddles
the view is nocturnal
as it flies
past my eyes

"Sparrows of branches
rains lulling tempo
the dance
is the butterfly
mist on the mountain"

Gorgeous images, mood, ~ and poetic mode!

"no lover to hold me
its all flimsy anyhow
as the rain drowns
its puddles
the view is nocturnal
as it flies
through my eyes."

~ The stark contrast to the first half of your poem, is quite startling ~ and compelling! However, that contast works  well in conveying the change of mood.

~ and might I add that your posts are always in perfect poetry mode!

May the sparrows sing and the butterflies dance for you, every day of your life!

Loving hug,
EA

To me this was totally compelling...

the ying/yang of balance or maybe the good/bad depending on the day..

I am in the same place and it seems it should be there, they should be there..and physcially their being is, but not a spirit of giving anything, but for themselves.  I am surrounded but feel alone...that is how it feels...

I talk too much.  

But I loved this as it touched me.

Fantastic imagery.  The night is so solomn and deep, as the emotions here portrayed.
All Blessing for a warm Thanksgiving Inked One...much as we are blessed to have you back here to share this feast!
