A Heaven Born of Words

Winding roads envelop mornings
changing how I feel
as the sun rises
over half a million faces
all aglow.  
The air bears the scent of flowers
like those I have seen
within blue flames of truth
on the horizon of nothing more
than how your presence
seeks my attention
like falling snow.

I feel my pulse expanding
and I grow weak
as my skin glows soft
like poems
that have kissed the roses
around my thorns,
and my soul keeps the best of you
in my hands.  
My joy crashes
against  sands pure as thoughts
of the wildest forest
embracing its own lands.

Your voice finds me
with an understanding
that springs into my mind
making the ground I walk on
become a heaven
born of words.
I smile secretly, as if I  have begun
to read something
living inside a storm
rushing to be let in
and dancing on paper
to be heard.

Half a million faces
and all I see is yours,
telling me
I am the treasure you find
on those winding roads.
The air bears the scent of flowers
from fields
that continue to live
throughout the winter
warmed by blue flames of truth,
seeking my attention
like falling snow.

Hi Neva, this poem has it all .. the form, the rhythm, flow, meter, all those 'technical terms' and one with a knowledge of how to write a poem properly could write a poem with all that is needed to write a proper poem.. but they could not put such feelings as these into words that make one feel so deeply.
From the heart is this poem, and a beautiful heart the poet has.

Peace resides within your words; thank you for sharing your peace with us all. A simply beautiful piece.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The magic of fierce emotion, especially pain or anger always leaves the reader quenched, great work, good read.

Ahh Neva as Audrey said a Neva fix is what was needed

Definitely pull away feeling high after reading your work. And to tell you the truth, I want it more every time.

A "natural" gas I see...a gas, gas, gas. This is falling snow to me.

I guess I needed a Neva fix--the beauty of this piece just wrapped me up and held me while tears overflowed--Thank you
