Wonder

 

 

 

Fine gravel shifts beneath bare feet,

subtly assaulting tender flesh.

Sporadic gusts of wind lift single strands of hair,

soothing naked skin while stealing a breath;

calmly I gasp to retrieve it.

Gifts of warmth are offered by the sun;

I greedily accept while standing still in this spot,

wondering.

A very feminine and mysterious kind of write by you D, one that makes me anticipate what's going on. Was she contemplating suicide? Does she change her mind once confronted by the warm light of the sun? What is she wondering...a new beginning, a new life? Where did she come from? Or maybe, I'm totally wrong in my interpretation! Yes, so many questions plague my brain as I take in this piece. You offer some nice images, captivating the reader on a brief, anonymous journey of this woman, of you[?]. In all of its mystery this poem offers a finality of hope and I get the feeling you are going to add more to this piece. I like it!

i took this spun it around and enjoyed the short powerful message i interpreted.....i enjoy the fact the one is at one point powerless to the warmth of the sun...life...their own self.....then in as instant.....captivated by the human instinct of how.....great!!

I hope you don't mind me adding this to my Library....been so busy trying to get my stuff online, decided to take a break and read others work.

the title speaks for itself, as the poem opens up to readers and at the same time lets us ponder on what it was all about. The magic of the beach, perhaps? on a widow's walk? Staring near a lake? in a dessert? The possibilities are endless, and that is what made it enjoyable to read: the mystery, the airy light beauty of wonder.

This poem is very mysterious. It really makes me contemplate about nature and how subtly beautiful it can be if you pay attention to it.

What a beautiful piece, Dani. I am left to wonder what is on this persons mind as well.

Dani you write with such depth of meaning, my mind searches your deep words and often times I am in awe of what they reveal to me, but they are my interpretation, not necessarily yours. I love your sentences...
