Of leaves and Sleeves

I stay within a valley’s bliss
Flown to it upon a Kiss
And there I pick the daisies leaves
And wipe my tears upon my sleeves.

I watch the flowers turn the sun
And wish with them that I were one
To mirror beauty of the sky
To be the wonders hew and lie

The trees that dance and twist in awe
Sink within my mind of store
And whisper me a magic tune
That brings me to the near of swoon

It’s then my fantasies do stray
To stay the wonders of the day
And spirits dine in covert mood
To eat upon this feast of food

I washed my soul within this bliss
And all was given in the kiss

Hi and Good Morning Sy,
This was a soft and loving read, gentle as the poet, filled with wisdom...especially liking the following:

The trees that dance and twist in awe
Sink within my mind of store
And whisper me a magic tune
That brings me to the near of swoon

lovely rhyme


how are you doing?

Missed you all and your poetry yesterday, then found this site, #30 Sy, I was wondering, since I've been posting here, there was a forum #27, then forum #28, now both of which I believe are no longer available, then forum #29, which hardly anyone was posting in yesterday?  Perhaps you can educate me if you will and have the time?  Thank you Sy.

Have a great day and a wonderful Thanksgiving Day

Good morning Duncan, have a good one.

And good morning to you Alyssa.

LeeJ,
Thank you dear, I can only say the site was down quite a while and he may still be adjusting it. Ask Sunshine she might know.
Have a good one.

oh but you are my sweet Sy-guy...you are

*winkiewinkie*

When I'm with you my eyes are so wide ...
you reached right in my head and turned on the light inside
turned on the light in my mind.

Lovely, lovely.

Awww shuckums, Mr. T.! That sure was a honey-sweet thing for you to say!

~ and yes, we do celebrate Thanksgiving! Afterall, there is soooooo much to be thankful for! ~ even when everything seems topsy turvy at times! However, we Canadian "angels" celebrate Thanksgiving on October 13 th. Actually, that is the Monday holiday. Most of us celebrate it on the Sunday. Our weekly day of thanks giving!

Have a glorious Thanksgiving with your loved ones! ~ and please save me a little slice of Isabel's homemade pie!

The falling of the tear.
We will no longer hear.

But the smile you can feel.
That one is also for real.
