Resonate Together

Resonate Together

a divine ribbon

pulsating sanguine

waves and particles

bent and twisted

by an aged father

in response to the whims

of an ageless

ever-evolving mother

she will not die

she will not be bound

she will not stay the same

the father weaves on

out of everything, or nothing

he creates some thing

he strums a fibrous tattoo

syncopated and a beat behind

sounds waves travel and decay

upon the collision of being heard

she dances

always her mind ahead of the tune

still he composes and frets on

just for her

if he can overcome the constant

the demands of an illuminated meter

she will slow 

he can catch-up

they will resonate together

"Resonate Together" brings fathoms of personal reflections that this reader, and I'm sure others, supply solace and joy. Nature is such a universal metaphor in thinking and feeling love in all its iterations. I've been off this site for some time, but finding your work again has brought me back. Will be reading more. Thank you for sharing such inspiring words.

[Pryde Foltz]

That is heartening. Thank you. I try to get over here as much as possible. I wish it was more:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Pryde… resonating together like Birds of a Feather.. when Sunshine ripples on silver water… fall gently on the Rapids where Dreams become a Waterfall of Romantic Ribbons that blend in Moonlight Inlets of secret Songs… pleasant dreams… 🌊 Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you for this lovely gift poetry, Patricia:)

Loving the music and rhythm of your poetic piece... each line singing a bit more of the bittersweet refrain... Writers Cafe said you were a writer I might like... and they were correct!

[Pryde Foltz]

Thanks, Craig. So cool when they get it right:)

[Patricia Wedel]

The Van Gogh is so full of Emotion... reminds me of a gold fish pond where the fish sleep deeply until Spring and Summer... at chatham Heights in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We look forward to walking around the Beds of Iris and later-- there are Roses in bloom. The Gold fish Pond has a large Artistic Metal Fish spouting Water in the Air. I am looking forward to reading your Creations. gently, Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you so much, Wedel. I visited the Van Gogh museum once in Amsterdam. That was indeed an amazing experience. It is wonderful how certain painters likes Money and VG can contain so much creative energy in their work. Proof of love:)

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, dear Pryde.. The best is yet to come… Artists and Poets Rock… and Writers with Works like yours will be Cherished… gently as you Rock… , Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

What a wonderful comment. Thank you, Pat:)

Amazing poetry dear Pryde. You can steal me away to a better place. I went Barnes and Noble. Only one book was listed. I had already. Hello dear friend and I hope you are doing well and you're enjoying the days of Summer.

That is odd; perhaps you have them all. Amazon is sometimes the best bet ... or Indigo.

Pulsate, mate, syncopate and resonate together. Powerful observations on the whole process. I like how you use science to mix with poetry, to illustrate the truth.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you so much, Sami:)

You are welcome Pryde.

[Robert Haigh]

Yes, our beats have to meet somewhere in the middle. Spirit and adventure should not be tamed, but we do have to compromise sometimes. Your final stanza sums the whole thing up perfectly!

[Pryde Foltz]

We are always a little at odds with ourselves even in love and from it comes experience, I suppose. Creation is demanding and never entirely pleased and thankfully because there lies room for more:)

Thank you, Robert:)

yes, the male always having to impress the female somehow....
I guess with the Praying Mantis he always falls short because she eats the male after intimacy.
I quite like this one...especially the imagery in the mother part.

Another way to look at it is the male praying mantis has mastered the dinner date. I guess he lives on through his progeny, but honestly, I think it's a little too much to ask.

Thank you, Jacob:):):)
