Voiced Chant

The tiles are set
in earth stone wind
as water falls trickle spine
lay me low among the reeds
cover me in thyme…

See beyond the window’s glaze
from darkness springs
some light

as tiles of earth set
true as stone, come
rock the wind this night…

deep beneath the forest hum
spirits chant, hear the drum,
pounding feet raise clouds of dust
calling me to come

calling me to come

tiles are set
in shades of beige
as water falls on skin
touch the rock of granite smooth

and come to me, again

sing to me, a when.

so softly beautiful...

I knew you were listening this morning...

I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee

Enjoyed this poem, bringing thoughts of forest fairies dancing in the morning dew.  There is a mythical and romantic tone to the chant that is delightful.

You always tend, to assemble poems by blending the essentials; moonlight silhouettes on a summer pool, soft currents beneath clement fingertips, sleep late whispers in a lover's ear.    

It takes a truly gifted individual to succeed to this potential…leaving the reader hungry for more…

Lovely!
