A deep, quiet forest stunned by diversity; an alpine meadow dancing in paintbrushes; eagles soaring in stark blue skies of Summer; above jagged black peaks piercing fog; a walk along a thundering shore in December; or skipping gentle waves kissing sand in Spring: gulls cry in stereo unseen in shimmering waves as the sun beats down upon sand dunes... Clouds roll ominously across the sky and thunder rumbles far away in the hills and I yearn to understand what it all means for if ever I do, that shall define who I am – forever – The seasons pass, chase each other and each one puts its impression on my face. Snow drifts over an icy gray street; fallen leaves dance on the Autumn wind; a morning glory closes itself to the sun: a sunflower turns slowly in my mind... I move the clock of time backward remembering the feeling you gave me the very first time I looked into your eyes: their blue light rivalling both sky and sea and how easy it was to swim in them! Such love I felt for you then; such love I may have shown you had you chosen to stay the hand of destiny. The Universe called you back and my dream ended as suddenly as it started. And yet... how much I love you still! I shall chase after you when this life releases me in turn: I swear I shall find you again. |

This ‘write’ has some of just about everything grand and fine!: what a marvelous opening line: “A deep, quiet forest stunned by diversity (!)” and I love images such as: “gentle waves kissing sand in Spring: gulls cry in stereo unseen in shimmering waves” and THIS truly ‘wafts along the eternal plane’!: “Clouds roll ominously across the sky and thunder rumbles far away in the hills and I yearn to understand what it all means for if ever I do, that shall define who I am(!)” and what magnificent ‘Romanticism’: “I move the clock of time backward remembering the feeling you gave me the very first time I looked into your eyes: their blue light rivaling both sky and sea how much I love you still! I shall chase after you when this life releases me in turn: I swear I shall find you again.” very, very serious and long sustained applause!! [another poetic ‘standing ovation’!!] |

"an alpine meadow dancing in paintbrushes;" Stunning. All of the above. Emotional - this touched me very deeply. |

Very romantic indeed. I loved the discriptive parts about nature. I too am astounded by the awe of this world. Sometimes I feel so small just standing in a field, or just being outdoors period. Well done. I hope you find the person you are looking for. |
