My Soft Place

artwork by Emma Uber

You are my soft place to land
a spirited buoyant oasis
to warm my lukewarm spunk

Bouncing down
the rutted highway of life
I stand on tiptoe
to see the love in your eyes
and it seems you are always there
dancing me out of the humdrum 
a bolt of satin unwinding itself
around my heart...

in your poetry and your life, I don't see any "lukewarmness", nope, not one ounce.. and to have someone that is like a "bolt of satin unwinding itself around my heart", well, how could there even be a whisper of "humdrum"??? I can see you two dancing Lydi... and I think that is oh so "nice", the poem too!! ;0)

I absolutely love the idea of tiptoeing to see the love in his eyes. A love you don't want to scare away, a love you are timid it has run away. Gorgeous!

A comforting place to be, filling the heart with tingles and pure closeness. Something that can never be scripted or falsified if it's truest in it's utmost. LOVE this beautiful piece.

"Bouncing down
the rutted highway of life
I stand on tiptoe
to see the love in your eyes"

I love the imagery and movement you describe here. Bouncing through life makes it sound much more fun :-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Absolutely. Thanks, Dara. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

There is nothing lukewarm about the feelings in this poem. Loud and clear.

[Lydia Shutter]

:) Thanks again. Lydi**

Loved this Lydi.

To have that someone special to pull you out of the humdrum is purely life changing. Those special ones have the ability to weather your storm and help you see through cloudy days so when you stand on tiptoe and see through into their eye's the love thay have for you dancing just comes naturally.

You know how to place words, don't you? You know how to embrace words and you know how to warm the cockles.

[Lydia Shutter]
