Listening to every heart

0 posted 2006-06-08 07:52 AM






Now where are you, my littlest one,
When your mind is frail spent and weary?
Where are you, with your braided thoughts,
When your eyes are brim full, and teary?

                    In my own mind I am already there
                    Held in sharing of beautiful moments
                    Sitting by the lake, words written with care,
                    Of times given, with a special friend spent.

For this is the spot, the poet's spot
Where our grown feelings and hearts collide...
This is the place, very special place
Where our poetic thoughts may abide...

                   Joined within the spirit of friendship’s hold
                   Poetic dreams flowing in written word
                   Intent, we listen to the stories told,
                   Mesmerizing lilt by sounds of life...heard.

So this is where we now bind our hearts
To grow in love and these common bonds
For this is where lovely friendships start
by blue water's edge, and a lily's pond

                   For within my heart, I am ready, there
                   Where water sparkles and dreams do come true
                   In poetically treasured moments
                   In my heart, my friend, I am there...with you...

So here we are, my littlest one
Tears now abate by deep water's edge
Under the sultry summer’s singing sun
Words of wisdom are now firmly wedged

                   Between the air and sky and lovely dreams
                   Where we gather to watch the stars come play
                   I shall gaze on you as you walk moon's beam
                   And we shall duet again, another day...

You write gentleness and love better than anyone I know....what a touch you show in this one! It's like a comfortable pillow, and each line is a feather of it.

The title alone was enough to bring me, but the verse left me very glad I came.

Sissie and Donna

Could it be that friendship between poets is the very best kind?  Sure does paint your words into that fact so lovingly!

Karilea and Donna,
Your voices blend beautifully in this lovely duet.
Extremely well done.
*Hugging you both*

Ah, back again.....I'm glad you added to the title...I was wondering about that when I responded the first time, not knowing it was an actual duet! This is so seamless I literally can't tell where one of you ends and the other begins....and now it's a double treat.
