Jazna Leaning There The rain on the cabin windows drifts like rinse waves in a car wash. My fingers searching minor sevenths, my ardent gaze the portside rail, to see Jazna leaning there. The summer's marbled skies spread wide our trolling laughter buffed with spray, her listing form against the rail. I tune to open G where all blues and heartaches follow when. From sacred space her spirit falls, a surreal vision cosmos sent. Devolved from humid heavy mist her blue-eyed radiance beams in quandom pose leaning there. With sudden suck of breath to heart, my ebbing guitar descants play to searing pains of her demise. I cry out with odes and tears to see Jazna leaning there. This is about boat rides that were once enjoyed with a beautiful girl that suddenly passed away years ago..... |

ETHome,dear friend~ I so readily remember your beautiful poetry about Jazna~ You made her real to those of us who didn't know her in this life ... but through your loving thoughts, I came to know her well~ Good to see you dearest one~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Thank you for sharing Jazna with us. She lives on through your loving poetry. "The rain on the cabin windows drifts like rinse waves in a car wash." ~ Yes! ~ but I had never thought of it that way before! I appreciated your use of guitar notes to denote moods. It is so sad when a beautiful radiance like hers is gone ~ at least for this lifetime. Love & Eternal Light, Linda ~ May the music play on. |

ethome...Great write. Enjoyed. Somehow without really knowing how I knew this was about boats and water before reading your explanation, but never knew the part about your dear friend Jazna. She must have been very special to you and I am sure you to her.Memories are forever...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
