ETHEREAL

                                                  

                           

a single drop

escapes and shapes

the one reforms into the many

forces merge and maintain the center

as an ocean to a clear running stream

effortless delicate movements

the beautiful semblance of creation

only free when infinity extends an open hand

we gracefully bend submitting to the wind

ever escalating the highest life and limb

gales roll in and away

drifting wide and floating astray

iridescence is indescribable yet defines

the sky as she decides a color

her choice always a brilliant contrasting horizon

grandiloquent patterns push to lavish design

extending to no less than the highest point

contours of jewels and soft silky edges

expand in the flourishing demand

moving on in an elaborate showdown

illumination has changed direction

mist is abundantly clear

looting and diverting a moon’s glow

enhancing the sky’s light with spectrum's of sight

diamonds in the sky

these silhouettes fall into a slow embrace

obscurity celebrates movement

with this final chance in a dance

abstract is an overachiever here

endlessly molding a new shape

a familiar sight replaces the mirage

swarming the moonlight to be still

to see the secret inside a shimmer

the very heart of all things  

where a reminiscent choral sound

rhapsodies pure aesthetic

calls you to a sublime slumber

magnificent claims this place of illusion

a majestic showing of dreams and nightmares

more is all we need

 patiently we await the kiss from bliss

her touch behind the eyes

opens up the skies

for an Ethereality

A very well languaged poem.

In itself, both a description of the changing veils of the skyline and also with an undertone celebrating the mastery of creation.

Your words create a vivid mental picture in the mind and these photographs add beauty to the unseen illusion. Nice work.

I can say I love how simplistic life is, but at the same time, so complex and beautiful. I'm glad you see it too. I commend you for that. It's really great to see that others see the world like I do, it's refreshing.

You have a fantastic way with words.
And you're right. All it takes is a single drop of water.
Or even a single word.
For all the bad things happening in the world today.
This poem tells us that life still goes on.

clouds are awesome. love them and this write. great word that ethereal. these words & phrases float so high & light as they morph while we wait for that kiss from beyond. bliss is there for those who see it. the almighty transcends through the natural. there's always more as he never disappoints. neither do you with this write as usual ...

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

Pete, you are to kind with your review. I am pleased how this turned out I was trying to be very vague but visual at the same time to let the beholder see so to speak. Thank you for taking the time and the stellar review. God Bless
