To Hear The Call

singular seasons come, all the cycles remain
hearken to the wind, to hear the call's refrain
streaming through like silver in the golden light
then as if a sliver, shivers, on into the night

blanketing frost of white, coverlet of earth
passion laying low below, knowing of its worth
receives all what is, yet fights all to live
accepts when to take, and then when to give

Snow goose on wing, breaking through the breeze
still in search of summer, winter offers no release
eye on figure of life's mate, there up in the blue
faithful through all cycles, a mating of the true

to hear the call, and shed tears of pellucid peace
in giving of one's all, to suffer precious, sweet release

02.10.01



Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Kari dear heart utterly wonderful, and 'Deer pellucid is translucent, allowing the passage of light. Which this does love utterly wonderfuly, I can see this sooooo perfectly. (So have I got the thoughtful honesty down to a tee?) I am true and I never lie, because there is no need to that is why. Anyway I've told you loads of times I have excellent taste! Okay not when it comes to dresses but the arts now that I can do.
Outstanding work utterly beautiful and yes it's into the library with this, and come tomorrow, well today but, you know what I mean. This will be posted so that it can place some beauty into all the lucky souls who are just visiting this place. (Lucky because they don't have to eat here! and they can get away at a reasonable time)
Take care love as always

Beautifully soft and soothing Kari.  A keeper for the library when I need some soft thoughts to soothe a weary soul.  Well done and hugs.

Comforting words blowing in the breezes of this one.  Very lovely write.

If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together

=====================
Sun this is gorgeous in its imagery ...
but for me the wonderful rhyme scheme,cadence and vocabulary that made the impression.
excellent write with an inspiring message.
a keeper  


Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
