Red-stemmed willows
Bent green on the bank
Drooping fingers to touch the rivers hem
As if in idle pass of day they wished
To tug on something other than
The soil and stone
held in fists of gnarl.

I stopped here
On way from Bangston’s bridge
To 5 mile point
And sat under their shade
Hoping the whispers they might share
Would tell me the secret of
How your
Eyes that now laughed ice
Used to look at me with more
Fire than freeze,
Bending my will like these
Osier stems
Until in red twigged finger
Reach for you
I touched the feel
Of love

Some passing shadow line
Now marked when those things changed

But no stones set on bank
Lead me where to look
So I am left in drift
Of slender willows sighs
And paddle on

unanswered

(sigh) I think that is just a drifters mission statement, you just have to move on or you will lose your wanderlust and may see more than what you bargained for! (big hugggsssssss) Very well depicted, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



Mayn love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

How is it that everything you write is so fantastic?! You never fail to touch emotions.

Ron

"Drooping fingers to touch the rivers hem
As if in idle pass of day they wished
To tug on something other than
The soil and stone"

beautiful imagery

and then

"Osier stems
Until in red twigged finger
Reach for you
I touched the feel
Of love"

you bring it to life with an intimate personal touch..

and you do it so well!

Ron.

Me, too, what everyone else said.
I loved the: "to touch the river's hem", among other lines....

Wonderful love poetry. Enjoyed.
