Sometimes it's your
fingers.

Or the tilt of your head when
thoughts strike a peculiar
chord.

There is a grace to small
motions.

As if a stillness waits beneath
our gestures.

Sometimes...my fingers follow in
your lines.

And fall into this
stillness.

Until another wave of
graceful motions.

I think,
what I like most about your poetry
are when the fluid moments
take over
and words are just
a quiet whisper...

Ericc you have the amazing ability to make people feel your words.....

I keep a fragrance bottle my
muse gave me when I met him
in endless winter and he
settled me into remembering
who I am.

Wonderfully said, Eric, and too there is grace in the stillness - oh, and most definitely in your poetry.

Eric, you write with much grace and great patience....and love the way you stand back and see things...study moments is what you do...an attribute difficult to find...your awareness blesses you....

Enjoyed

Eric

It is the "Grace of Small Moments" that brings your poetry to life...you capture them with your own grace.
