 * Oh, this yearning! I inhale the silence. It encircles me and spreads inside my heart. I scan every breath in the hope to find traces of You. My ribs hurt, crackly dry branches of a tree in flower. I embrace the coldness invading me in your absence. I sink into myself closing my eyes to the light anticipating the night. I recall memories of sunshine days, in aching delight I stroke the skies fading away into farer distance. Then ... slowly I begin to dance. Ravel’s Bolero stirs my blood. My body folds my hands touch the feet and then the stars. Willingly the velvety grass shapes to my every move propitiating the moon. I reach for You, raising arms of light searching the night, forgetting about me letting my self fade into oblivion. And that’s the moment when my yearning ends, when I become aware that we are a single tone, inseparably linked to the song in its whole. That’s when I know I never danced alone. I reach for You and Love’s play fills the scene inviting my heart to surrender and to be part of the Whole. No, I am not alone when the blades of grass offer peace and I fall into their love-shaped embrace. And as One we gaze at the twinkling stars smiling from Above. Time now to dissolve within each other’s arms. Time now to join this sweet and eternal, yet always unique dance of Love. Oh, this yearning made me reach for You ... * Love, Margherita |

Margherita, You have so beautifully expressed yearning throughout and have given us a wealth of wisdom to help us deal with it. You'll never know how much your presence means to me. Thank you for sharing your many gifts. Sadie |

Dear Marsha, Karilea, Sadie, Deb and Vandana, thank you for appreciating! Dear Marsha and Sadie thank you for telling me also that you missed me, I missed you too. I am fine thank you, only I am very busy and my working hours are so long that I am too tired in the evening to come in. Hope to find more time again to read and comment, as well as to create! I love this place and you poets of beauty. Margherita  |
