much like the coolness of midnight
incense, stirring the curtains
with ancestial dew
smiling the heart
a grand buffet
of golden aged windows
a world apart from man
an uphill stream of green mountains
clean and crisp
where subterranean woods
reflect and sing
tracing passages
heaved and sighed
soltice winter nights
alas, leading me north
like a coat with lining
borrowing daylight dreams
laden with longs sighs
of quintessence shade

a hundred thousand miles of moonlight
drinking warm
winter bathrobes
a radical simplification
in an open place
theater mine
strewn fields with grain
this beautiful longing
oh how I love this
predetermined
spiritual weather
which I partake
with raised eyebrows
being hoisted on air
on wind
nothing can touch me
but spiritual bliss
a lovely home

this was written for a friend, who can see and feel things with her eyes closed.

Love ya kiddo...

Lee J.

Lee, I loved the warm, spiritual feel of your words.

I could have veritably quoted each line as one of my favourites.

"a world apart from man
an uphill stream of green mountains
clean and crisp
where subterranean woods
reflect and sing"

~ That is my kind of heaven on Earth!

"being hoisted on air
on wind
nothing can touch me
but spiritual bliss
a lovely home"

~ Thanks! I needed that right about now!

I have been missing you! ~ and even more so when you pop in and post a poetic gem like this!

Love to you!

Linda

A  fine ‘write’!

I am especially fond of:

“like the coolness of midnight
  incense, stirring the curtains”;

“a world apart from man
  an uphill stream of green mountains
  clean and crisp
  where subterranean woods
  reflect and sing”;

“daylight dreams
  laden with longs sighs
  of quintessence shade”;

“a hundred thousand miles of moonlight(!);

AND:

“predetermined
spiritual weather(!)”

Applause!!

Lee, I am sure your friend won't mind me wrapping myself up in the luxurious winter bathrobe you have created, as you are so generous that there is enough of it for all of us!

It is summer here in South Africa, but today is a cool, grey, windy day and for various reasons, the perfect day for me to enjoy the indulgence.
