You swam behind the willows
while I danced under the stars,
in midnight’s mist
my soul was kissed
by the mournful beauty
of your sacred cry.
For you are my spirit guide,
the caressing cries of true love
upon the shores of  forevermore,
and when I hear the trills and lilts,
the cadence of your heartbeat,
I find myself in perfect peace,
enfolded within nature’s arms,
and I become part of the harmony
of timeless living art.

Midnitesun,

Oh, this has beautiful imagery.

In particular, I like the lines,

"You swam behind the willows
while I danced under the stars,
in midnight’s mist
my soul was kissed
by the mournful beauty
of your sacred cry."

Something touching on the waters of eternity.


"I become part of the harmony
of timeless living art."

I like this idea of a 'living (he)art'

Thank you, Midnitesun.

of your sacred cry.
For you are my spirit guide,
the caressing cries of true love
==============================

beautiful Kacy...reads like a Monet whisper...
love the hints of rhyme and word play too.
lovely ethereal writing poetess MS

You're the color of the sky reflected in each store-front window pane ...
You're the whispering and the sighing of my tires in the rain.

Now, in this, very gentle smile, I heard the strains of a flute being played so softly. Excellent indeed

LOL at your reply LWings, and some days I'd agree with that.

Logan, smiling back atcha, while listening to Carlos Nakai.

And thanking you for listening to my loon tune, Dixie and Edder.

(smiles) Oh Kacy, this is beautiful, sweet friend, this was presented to me like some Rene Magritte painting with the reflections on the water, ones of laughter rippling across the surface! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
