She's Near (in Cinquain)

she writes
of his love ~ faith
worn against her flesh ~ ink
blood scribed onto the parchment ~ she's
waiting

Tonight
shared horizon  
she reaches out to you
will you feel the winds whisper ~ and
believe

"Trace my body with your words
and in doing so, you touch my heart"

I confess I do not know what a cinquain is...but I so admire the ability to say so much in so few words. (I never know when to shaddup...) These words leave a lasting impression. I enjoyed much.

I have moments when I too don't know when to stop, this is exactly why I love Cinquain. It keeps me focused on what it is I truly want to say.

Thank you for your comment!

Very lovely indeed. And a lesson within. For I too did not know Cinquain. Thank you for sharing such wonderful verse.

Sincerely,
Regina
