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...

That one might taste the fruits
of words written and shared.
That one may become as much a part
of all that is thought..or dared..

Such a grace this would be for a
muse...

As are these words to one...as you
have written in tribute of..

Lady In White - this is a very beautiful poem. What I would give to be written to like this... I had to add to this reply for I have read this over and over again. Whomever your muse is, I want you to know that I'm very, very touched by your words...

The entire poem was captivating, these lines, especially, spoke to me---enjoyed!

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Could you write a fine poem such as this, for my muse?--Perhaps she will come back to me...

Exquisite, dear Lady!

Thank you all...
each and every one of you
please know...you exist in,
and out of,
my shadows...

you make the dark comfortable,
and bring in the warm...

Thank you for reading.
