Love is in the air |

Love is where the wind blows but it’s lonely just like me for the blue intractable and the clouds unfixed. Down it comes to solid ground a searcher just like me and finds the hair, the skin, of absolute perfection. And peace comes then upon it but peace is not forever when the perfect can’t believe love is in the air. Then unabsorbed love moans and it’s like thunder in the sky that echoes down the years of solitary confinement. If you wake up wondering why love’s out there not here it’s because, because, simply because, you didn’t let it in! Helen / 1 November 2007 www.dreamtimepoetry.com |

A wonderful poem to end my day with Lonely but lovely Nah, not lonely - it's ... touching inside me and whispers ... just read, feel and understand. Does that make sense? I really enjoy your writing. Alison |

Thank you so much, Alison. (My daughter's name is Alison). I don't seem to have any other "words of wisdom" to offer at this time so just another "thank you". |

Then unabsorbed love moans and it’s like thunder in the sky that echoes down the years of solitary confinement. If you wake up wondering why love’s out there not here it’s because, because, simply because, you didn’t let it in! ohh, dear Helen, this is stunningly beautiful, even though it hurts. But now that the secret is unveiled, it's still the right time to open the doors... I deeply enjoy your words always, this is precious. You always share wisdom, besides perfect beauty. Love and hugs.

Thank you Margherita, JL, and James. It seems to be raining "inside" today but then again it often does despite my best efforts. |

Jo! How good to see you. Letting it in is sometimes not as easy as one would think because we THINK too much! Thanks for the read. Interloper - Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by. |
