                        Duet ~ A Plains Song

            Sit and steep that words might be
            come to sing this harmony
            quiet then come, listen, feel
            songs of past now come real

            to know deep sleep
            where reveries call
            wander back
            sense the fall
            dirt shall dust my shoes again
            to return to now, go back to then

                                            dream songs tied
                                            to spider’s web silken
                                            tumbled weeds
                                            of love songs gone
                                            poets heart finds
                                            warm, well come
                                            in what was theirs
                                            all along

            blackest ink shall trace
            thoughts gone
            as palm prints that
            still linger on

            a cheek that felt
            the warmth of touch
            a softer word
            that meant so much

                                            the winds sing through
                                            the harp of grass
                                            as legends feather
                                            centuries vast

            to gaze again across the lands
            feel side to side
            a touch of hand
            as whispers felt upon fair winds
            they bind me tight in
            their come again

                                            should you hear the notes
                                            again
                                            on the winds that
                                            harps would send
                                            touch your heart
                                            then search your soul
                                            for your memory
                                            one still holds

            the mists of time swirl
            round my feet
            sounds of then still
            chime replete
            they come to sing this harmony
            sit and steep that words might be

*sigh* your words sing in such perfect harmony that you bring them to life. I love this wonderful song. It flows into the heart with a gentleness that sooths and fills with beauty. Thank you, so much, for sharing this with me.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Karilea, I really love this and truly enjoyed reading. It could easily be a song with a guitar perhaps playing softly in the background. Well done, Nancy.

Uniquely written in wonderment of the mid-west beauty. Where the sun shines from one end to the other. Gorgeous Sunshine! Thank you.

Sincerely,

This is very poetic and very musical all in the same vein. Wonderful writing I'd say!
