Bamboo love


Raindrops play my skin
in rhythmic flagellation,
echoes from careless whispers
wet my perceptivity.
Heart petals open
to absorb the healing touch
of soul filtered tears.
In silence I move
through this liquid embrace
of nature’s lullaby.

Trees bless my passage
with sympathetic bows
inviting me to listen.
Within the falling rain
I hear the sound
of my love for you
as it grows and grows
swiftly like bamboo
in ceaseless power shoots
upon everlasting roots.

I keep walking and wonder
if you can hear this sound too?
To know I lean into the wall
of this soothing waterfall
from where your voice springs
and plants a feeling of wings
into the core of me.

Uncontainable like the rain
the awareness rises
from my soul into my brain
that within the core of you
you do hear that sound too.

Just when we think
we have consumed it all
it sprouts again and again
as precious as ever
for me and for you
just as swiftly as bamboo ...

Ahh, my friend...I caught "the bump"...

And just for that, here's a little gift from Hawaii...



with love...

like the bamboo. [I swear, I thought I could hear it growing!]

Dear one,I do not know how you keep coming up with these beautiful words. But keep on, as I love to read them.

P.S. A corner of my yard shared with three other yards is full of tall bamboo giving that corner a bit of privacy and some interesting  small animals.  latearrival

Very beautiful... the rain sound is also the sound of applause! And I can relate to rain with bamboo, too.

nicely doen ma'am...
bambo, being a grass is an interesting plant and an interesting metaphor for something that grows.... like the way you've mixed sound into the imagery..

Margherita....lovely read, this was beautiful...you've place a soul in nature, one of which was always there, but most of us are way to busy to notice....that voice and caress of sun, moon, air and all that resides within...lovely

That is just poetically beautiful, the feelings
seep through the page with the softest touch.

Fabulous poem, Margherita~
