~As I Recall

...and you fluttered by me,

       the sweet little thing that you were

 landed in a puddle of crimson tears

             that had pooled around my feet

the moon was full and the air still crisp

             yet I couldn't see clearly

you shared with me the secrets of the ages,

            how colors dance,  that fireflies & stars are related, 

                      and feathers are really secret messages from angels

i listened in utter amazement 

                  my eyes no longer a somber shade of grief

you touched my hand 

         and the universe had begun to sparkle

when you touched my heart 

              is when the music began to happen

                        i danced fearlessly

 on these puddles  that had become crystalline  comfort

my spirit roared with the fervor of galaxy's exploding

   a simple moment,

        a shared touched, a revival of soul

 it was then I realized the dead of winter had passed, 

spring had sprung wildflowers

     colored in zest, painted by sunshine

     that danced in fields of liquid fire

 my rapture was ignited

       in shades of destiny & hues of lusty acceptance

as I recall now, I never even caught your name

Would the woeful secret whispers of the universe be love? The ecstatic jumping of two spirits longing to join, as if destined? Love, at first site?
Twists like yours simply amaze me, and I scarcely have the brain to match. Wondrous poetry, as are all of them~

[Horizon K.]

Oh this is like a reversal from the last one I read of yours ... Winter has passed and the heart is ready, to catch the feathers fluttering by, or at least to let them love you for a moment, before... Oops... Not even getting thier name. Lots of cool imagery too.. Dancing on crystalline puddles...Dancing...

[Frieda P]

Ha you calling me moody Horizon? ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The seductive power of nature is very soothing... such a beautiful write... you have left me in awe.

[Frieda P]

Wow Dale, thanks so much, really appreciate your 'awe'some review.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well it was an awesome write.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

This is a delectable bounty of imagery with such a soft and gentle pace. I love the hopefulness of the "voice", and the almost childlike wonder that is written into the lines. Then came the last line...what a witty, beautiful and apt finish to such a great piece.

[Frieda P]

Thrilled you liked it, played around with that last line, so glad it came through, thanks Friday.

[Matthew Kult]

No Problem

[Deuces]

Amazing how we can be so guilty of taking the present for granted and valuing it only in the distant future. Well penned, Frieda - the emotions run deep.

[Frieda P]

Grazie Cyn, always a pleasure to have you on my page.

[Larry Dyson]

[Frieda P]
