bow your cello
walk between the willows
stepping on the dry stones
looking out for fish bones
sleeping like a brown bear
shut up in his warm lair
wearing soft synthetic fur
curled up in an easy chair
breathing in and breathing out
dreaming what you dream about
dark hair falling in loose cascades
frames your face like wild waves
standing stone that keeps the sea from storming
love you truly even while you’re snoring
something spoke to me through the trees that night
traveled to us, floating on the moonlight
filling up the midnight with questions
that we could not answer
stepping down the smooth stones
watching out for pinecones
feet sifting through the warm sand
hand in hand, staring at the waves

What a beautiful walk you've taken us on:
"something spoke to me through the trees that night
traveled to us, floating on the moonlight"

Lovely imagery! Welcome to the blues.

Sparsile. (adj) of a star not belonging to any constellation

You don an interesting name Poet.
There's something about this poem that brought me back for a second read.
The highest compliment a writer can be paid, I think.   Nicely done.

I found this to be quite refreshing too.

You engaged me and drew me in--reminded me to BREATHE...

thank you and welcome.
