Movement, spirit like
Violas dancing in May
Mirror images

Of myself and childhood friends
At play in a spring long past.

Very very nice Ford...I like this style.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

"Of myself and childhood friends

Ah, yes ~ the memories...
I am especially fond of my childhood springtime remembrances.

A lovely poem with a touch of nostalgia.

Springtime hugs,

dancing in shadows
myself, the wildflower heart
reflecting my friends
movement within shadowland
no one remains lonesome there

sigh

  brings up memory of being
     a child   in garage  singing
    i was strolling through the park
      on day    in the merry merry
   month of may i was taken by surprise
       by a pair of rolling eyes
    while strolling through the park
      on day.   i see myself singing, dancing in circle   that is as far as i get with song  then i leave garage.  usually to my hide out on top of roof.   memory ends there.   no befor or after.   this brought it back   maybe i can get past it  thanks

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

I've always wondered why it's called reflection, when we're actually looking deeper, finding facets we've never seen, not at a surface throwing back what we give it..... maybe it's because "prism" is just a noun, and refraction calls up images of ants and magnifying glasses....
