its a sleepless night
between midnight and morning

the orange clover will assemble
then rearrange itself with the calling
of the winds

nothing is permanent
although the stars sun and moon
appear to be fixed in the sky
even then, the choreography in itself
is changeable

I sent the songbird to your window
late last night and wonder
if you were in receipt of my special request

notes on the horizon
from the song of the turtle dove

hence, whether or not we can be dance partners
sadly can't be determined
until we rise to the  new day
hopefully free of what has encumbered us

Ahhh . . . Yes indeed . . .

There is a continuing, enchanting magic within the words and lines of your poetry, Emma. I see your name on a poem and I know I am going to be pleased. I am never disappointed.

There is just something about your contemplative state when you write that is very appealing. It is almost palpable. I enjoyed this very much.
