Music mine swirls me in my yesterday and tomorrow now lies mere a memory ...you are the ghosted past... lucid days an ever-time of lived caress a twirl of shaking shadows from clouds long passed cold sunlit warmth field-caught in harvest gold scents the breath in you sweet lover lost days to come away far I face for I whisper-waltz the paths of known dance and sway there safe my wrinkled feet whirl not the dusted floor but grace a river's flow and yester-breeze paints light in war-time eyes so bright ...sweet lover lost turn slow twirl with me...

By the way - this just isn't about me! Not only can I not dance at all but I am under 25!!! LOL. PdV - goodness, what a lovely thing for you to say! I wish I could write structured verse! Pepper - high praise from you my friend. Ruth - Love belongs to more than dance it wears the face of honest twirls and swirls a merry space of trusting truth spinning falling there I go and will walk soon when the dance has slowed... Thanks dear friend Denise - Simply lovley wordspFF - ever a gracious reply. Thanks Dream - my friend - good to 'hear' your voice. SHJ - well, keep coming to netpoets and you'll find your mouth is always full! LOL - thankyou! |

Wow severn what a poem! The vessel indeed - your talent is a passion that comes straight from your heart and soul and i absolutely love the way your words twirl around each other - although you may think dancing has been lost here your poem dances - the words dance, your heart still dances. I especially loved stanza 4 and 5 - "field caught in harvest gold" i mean severn those words together - this poem touched me as all your poems do. |

I wish I could do this. LOL Free verse is difficult for me.------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

Severn: Absolutely beautiful...*sigh* HUGS ------------------ There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it... |

evoking the wartime nature of love, perhaps? I keep seeing an image of two lovers dancing on a dusty floor in a circle of light. lovely. |
