I join my breath to wind as through the trees it blows, the whispers that you hear the voice of my soul soft and gentle, barely there, perhaps a memory skirting round the outskirts of a distracted mind. As leaves dance and wave, sometimes even laugh, I settle on the branches the outline of my heart firm and bold, steady, sure, transparently a-waiting the hand of an artist to paint it vibrant red. There between the trees, maybe shadows, maybe me, but perceived reality makes of life a mockery for body parts un-evolved grant only shallow sight and deaf are our ears to the song of spirit love. And so we must stay, know the wind cannot speak or shadows move enticingly like lovers, you and me, and on that basis who can say how permanent is love when winter comes around and the leaves fall to ground? The whispers of a soul and the emotion of a heart - if we could hear and feel, no unhappiness would part the true immortal joining of a woman’s inner grace to the strength and honour of a gentle man!

This is really well presented. I found this inspiring... "There between the trees, maybe shadows, maybe me, but perceived reality makes of life a mockery for body parts un-evolved grant only shallow sight and deaf are our ears to the song of spirit love" Too true sometimes.....Good work! Eric Ain't doin nothin at all |

Dear Bluesy, Thank you for your gracious reply. I hope there are many more like you out there in the big wide world because I'm putting a book together. Wish me luck! All is well here - unemployed or perhaps retired. Not sure which just yet. Thank you Eric, I'm glad you found my words inspiring. Maybe you'll check out those shadows between the trees sometime.  |

Hello Dave - Thank you for that wonderful compliment! I never think of myself as being talented so your reply is somewhat of a surprise. Thank you. Sea_of_okc - To be regarded as a "gentle man" is more of an honour than most men can fathom. Thank you for reading and for commeting! And TD - thank you too! Your comment is much appreciated. |
