I am from the slide of sun
into the place where lovers meet
and the glow of moon
that makes me know it’s true.

I am from silver linings
of the dark and menacing
and the dew that overlays
landscapes of betrayal.

I am from the song of birds
joyous in the morning light
and the silence of the lambs
overcome by stormy weather.

I am from the crust of earth
that stabilizes fear
and her own inner turmoil
that upsets what I hold dear.

I am from the question mark
of not understanding
and the exclamation mark
of acceptable conclusions.

I am from the trail of hands
that contoured soul to fit
all the many styles and shapes
of diverse circumstances ~
but most of all without a doubt
I am from loving you!

Thanks late. A somewhat simplistic write but I guess early mornings bring me down to the basics.

Wow, this defines you so well, dear Helen! And I love the whole poem, too short though, because I love this kind of write.

Love and hugs.

Thanks, dear Margherita. I don't think I've ever been guilty of writing something that's "too short" but there's always a first time for everything and it's great at my age to have a "first".

Hugs

I also love this, honeybuch.. and can relate, somewhat, too... and yes, I feel I could write a pt. 2, 3, etc to mine! There is so much to say. These are all amazing; thank you for sharing this!

Best~
