WHISPERS AT THE WATERFALL
3 September 2011

I wish you a rainbow
and a magic palette
and a vision-brush
to spread your life-colours
that hold your heart in awe
and to blend them with mine
in a vibrant painting of then and thereafter
as the larks touch the sky with reverence
and adoration
singing our dawn songs
of yesterday, today and tomorrow
in dreams distant and at fingertip-touch
letting us
know within
the immaculate peace
that passeth all understanding.

Your words are melodious with the weeping strings of a golden violin.
Such a sweet and savories song, and I am sure the larks swoop down from that picturesque blue sky to listen to every word.

It's got me rocking like crazy!

JL

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

wow, i'm amazed at how many poems you can write and still make each one special it it's own way. it's like you dance with words instead of write them.

Beautifully rendered poetry, Owl, you have a special gift and you use it well.

This is breathtakingly beautiful, dear Diana! You are wonderfully inspired.

Yes, I agree, you dance with words.

Love,

Sensual, and moving, as is usual for your poetry..this part

"letting us
know within
the immaculate peace
that passeth all understanding."

It is those lines that stuck out most for me in the poem..

Thank you, JL, for your beautifully poetic reply.  I am stunned by such praise.  And you DO look cute on your rocking chair!  I have always wanted a rocking chair.  Smiles.

So often, your responses to poems are pure poetry... then you share these beautiful whispers... and I can only think how lucky I am to read your words. *S*
