Half a Song

How long then did you look for me,
Did you search, or feel, our poetry?
Which always seemed but a part,
Or did Wind whisper to your heart?

comfort me as yet you guide
this team of horses that will ride
upon the skies of ever when
for you shall hear the wind again

unrest has been upon this plain
until the find of you again, and then
the reasons behind these past decades
have begun in light, to fade

as well to slip between blades of grass
those places where our feet have passed
now cloak me once more with you
and scatter my dreams in your view

then allowing one to catch the tear
as slowly comes the release of fear
to hold the heart that's long held you
through all trials, tribulations, too

to face again the wind's caress
to know that strangeness is welcome, blessed
to feel, but not, the care once there
to hear again your voice on air...

for in this epoch of the now of then
I come willing to you again
in better times that led to now
I'll once again give you my vow

to make all that is yours be blessed of kiss
for in my shadows, you still exist...



In tribute to a muse...

a wonderful tribute to any muse Dear Lady.  This is just incredible and so soft and loving of a write.   Lovely!!

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

*sigh* gentle and flowing with soft emotions to touch the heart. I felt this beautiful song for I know the sound of a muse who inspires me to write my best. This is magnificent. I love it.  

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

In the thought that sometimes less is more..
or sometimes words arent needed....
I shall say..........

You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do.
In the sunlight, in the shadows ...

The glass of life is surely half full... This poem is grand... Can we look for a sequel?..

In tendering to your requests
perhaps now it would be best
to say not a sequel that should be
but a challenge for more poetry

let all the poets for sequel's delight
pen the other half to this song's write
for on the winds, it shall be shown
how far true hearts would truly roam...

Probably one of the most moving pieces of work I have ever read.

A masterpiece!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

and scatter my dreams in your view

I'm so glad I didn't miss this. Awesome calling here..just simply magnificent! The stanza above caught me completely as I imagined the dreamer, lying in a grassy field with nothing to cloud them but the clouds and the sunlight. Bravo!!!!
  

Every line...sublime.

Sincerely,
