Nothing to Fear

Someone special brought me back to slow blues and Chris Rea.

And there,

through

the misty morn,

you, all soft

lines,

whimsical.

 

Cheesecloth and denim,

golden hair

flowing.

 

Fresh as a daisy,

warm as a buttercup.

 

Shoeless

on warm dewy

grass.

 

Free as a wisp.

 

Fond

as a memory

that one

wants to hold

close.

 

A smile,

a giggle,

a breath,

a sigh.

 

A child in

woman's clothing,

an angel

walking

the earth.

 

I see you dancing,

moving with the breeze

of the slow blues,

eyes closed,

nothing to fear.

John, this poem...this is a jewel! ... i've never seen such lovely images in a poem (and such lines) that can almost get well tasted, smelled and touched. I humble hug you in truly a gesture of admiration. sincerely, Amber.

*ratings and numbers here are merely routine: this amazing writer needs none of them.
