A sojourn to a sylvan stretch < !signature-->I take in breath of dreams Where nimble winds fall through the threads Of reality’s silver seams. Vapor blows in lacy veils Through the still of clearing thought And wafting through the monarch’s lair I reach for wings ne’er caught. The path of softness I retread Among blooms of quiet peach Watching as rich swells of earth Tumble to a crystal beach. Hawthorn grows among the wood Tranquil petals chanting As darkness painted ‘pon my eyes Slowly begins recanting. Reincarnated by the gentle lull Of gently slumbering green The twilight vivid within my soul Is for the moment...unseen. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis [This message has been edited by Alwye (edited 08-02-2000).] |

Beautiful poem, Krista! I loved your use of imagery in this one, especially this line: "As darkness painted ‘pon my eyes" That is just a great one! And I love the word sylvan... Wonderful poem, sweetheart! Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

"Where nimble winds fall through the threads Of reality’s silver seams" Krista, your gift for depicting intellect, mood and image through words is striking. What a future you have before you, dear. Loved this poem. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Vapor blows in lacy veils Through the still of clearing thought And wafting through the monarch’s lair I reach for wings ne’er caught. Reincarnated by the gentle lull Of gently slumbering green The twilight vivid within my soul Is for the moment...unseen. Your words create such lovely images and the flow was so perfectly done. I was wanting more so I re-read every line....and then once more. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! |
