Existence to me is not nearly expressive
As the life which took me by the hand
Smiled through clear blue gazes
Together sharing belly laughs
Like we were only seven

Plucking each day like a badge of honor
Perceiving the wise of future
Drinking twilight wind
Listening to lusty calls of ocean
Fragrance of sea...intoxicating all cares

Like fresh coolness of midnight
Its faint perfume stirring golden sensors
Glowing sweet aquatic candles
Turning feelings into dialogue influential

Five thousands words, whirl in articulation
Spiraling around, laughing like children
Something that earth stands on...composing
All highlighted threads which team by our side
Waiting with anticipation to be woven
Images consistent like intellectual daylight

The here and now...crowning unending green lands
Where ethereal beauty summits in a single glance
Inexplicable sorrows, blossom to hazelnut buds
Filling paths where wind lives...impetuous
Accompanying dance, singing in high voices

Ode to delicacy, the fragile lingering butterflies
Where do they go, what to they hear & speak?
Does one know they’re moonlight fills sparingly?
Unbroken, floating and waking all things...
Where evening ensign loiters or’r foothill paths
Changing time...tender loveliness of wild fire wings

Wake...my beauty...among the waves a lone
Just for a moment...it does not shudder or stare or mock
But, trails in flight...gliding, gliding among a sea of smiling stars
Reaching out with extending mirrors, peacefully
Like a lotus pond, filled with dappled freshwater koi
Gentle waves pour silence, waste deep, like a sleepless insomniac

Scenting fascination lingers, like a favorable guest
Water glistens with clear nights, quiet murmurs of companionship
Darkness loiters...strikingly there is no fear?
There are burning suns within, clearing mists, like an army
Wonder donating prosperity with eminence walking freely

There are no hairs thicker then this lamplight of weave
No sound of mid-day, only unworldly feelings
A comfort begins to hang waterfalls
With golden rays of sunset ripples

Drinking together shadows, like friends under the moon
This ember fills my sleeves, towering any lute
But a small path to drink, succumb to this waiting flower
Slip away for a moment...filling empty hours
Resounding together, harmonizing waters
Like a smooth glass, still sea, gleaming a sound of worth, immensity
Profound incarnates this shared infinity
Idle beauty, seriously playful, proposing morning stars
Mellow laments of exotic poems
Lingers, always lingers near...walk for a moment
with these tender feelings

I think you are on a roll!  This is so interesting.

“Ode to delicacy, the fragile lingering butterflies
Where do they go, what to they hear & speak?

Unbroken, floating and waking all things...
Where evening ensign loiters or’r foothill paths

So vivid a picture.  Wonderful write Lee J.
