mountain heart songs call me pastoral in sound carried upon winsome winds bidding me return my heart cries hollow my soul spilt long ago in a rain of wintered tears until i became a snow frosted meadow lingering beneath chilled ice hands pressing inward oh! i long to know the spring kissed shower, the thaw and melt of me, the softening of hardened heart to be touched again by the fingers of blessed sunshine warm upon my brow would that I could recall long since ceded melodies that once echoed ‘cross yonder hills but here . . . here, in this fortress of glass and concrete, of corner lot prison, a civilized cell i wonder— shall i ever know such again? such sweet resounding sounds of the freedom strum music played in the heavens by mountain heart songs? s.a.t. If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

oh! i long to know the spring kissed shower, the thaw and melt of me, the softening of hardened heart to be touched again by the fingers of blessed sunshine warm upon my brow would that I could recall long since ceded melodies that once echoed ‘cross yonder hills and in all of this...is there any doubt of love...no matter who feels the melodies or give them... Susan, this was a very lovely write...thank you |

Susan: "Mountain Heart songs" Indeed I know them, sing them often, though mostly silently... "would that I could recall long since ceded melodies that once echoed ‘cross yonder hills" This stanza reminds me of my Dad who sang "The wildwood flower" to me as a child... "a snow frosted meadow lingering beneath chilled ice hands pressing inward" Beautiful... sight and body of someone with inner yearnings.. "shall i ever know such again? such sweet resounding sounds of the freedom strum music played in the heavens by mountain heart songs?" It is obvious that you haven't forgotten them, You have repeated their lyrics in this poem/song. Perhaps I have taken a different meaning from these words than you intended...but these comments are about what this poem has said to me.. enjoyed ____________ice/ford ><> |
