Here she takes on woman’s form
Having grown from angular stone and narrow hips
To this fertile slope where she slows
And the curves of her are softened by comfort
That comes when hip of rock has widened leading eyes to follow
Down the muscle of her thigh in its walks along steeper side
Then begs the eyes to rise with respite on the belly of resting pool
Just below the shoulder’s slope fair along the field
Where she carries the willow thatch
Cradling in a cupped palm
The nest once used to by sparrows as they thronged
Splayed fingers alive in raucous song
A prayer to summer and its gods
While she shrugged with rippled wind and stayed abed
In languor born from far runs
Among the crags and trills where cedar grow

I still get lost in the change of seasons

But she whispers too
And I listen for the assonance of her songs
Letting the shades and hue of her dress resonate with the chords
She plucks from wet limbs stretched in bend to touch her skin
With hopes  of capturing some part of dreams she brings from hills
And indigo nights when under the waxing moon

Wet slap soft she laughs

The depths of her hold secrets buried in the silt of time

The tarnished ring lost when it slipped from finger
And brought the brine of tears to young girls eyes
As if in its disappear so too had love it pledged

Such tender years
  With amorous lies and memories now but wistful smiles

Still along the edges I listen to her sing low lullabies
And watch the leaves turn from green to a russet hymn
At harmony with the notes she pretends do not lure the souls
Of those like me who have traveled the lengths of her
Searching to remember how it is when
Love seemed a simple thing
And all green thoughts on mossy stone
Were promises and faith

Still I get lost in season’s change

And the way she has always run beneath the lines written
Of love
                  And you

Golly Mister!!  You leave me speachless and I can't help it for the life of me.

Your poetry brings me so much pleasure, it is the whole array of poetic scenery and emotions.
Your choice of words and way of expressing yourself is uncanny, like none other.

I just wanted you to know that, because I always come away trying to catch my breath.

Hugs, you~
