Salutation On The Window

~the Wind of Ever scrolled~

I will whisper my breath
on the window
reach from a corner of the sky
to yours;
my hand,  branch of an oak
to scroll this letter.

Weep on your shoulder
with desperate rain
      until you turn to see
who’s been calling you
by name.

Without harsh persuasion ,
I will use voice through
others who know me;
      be amazed, as no one is
a stranger from this
moment on.

Indulge me to
watch your sweet expression,
      eyes on tender violets
inside a flower box-
closer than faraway gardens.

Behold random appearance
of all things beautiful
      calm, without tear;
invite me in please,
let me be there.

Look for letters
(falling leaves),
rapture in autumn's hollow
    a place I promise
to vow -dear, come 
and forever follow.

    Excellent

    Your words speak with such a gentle voice. You have a talent for creating a quiet, soothing space with your words -- they never clash or come together in a rough way.

    I don't know how you do this and I find myself wishing I could create a similar environment in my poetry. It seems that my words are the product of conflict, and while I usually find a way to balance opposing forces in my poems, they still represent forces pressed up against each other.

    Your work is an inspiration. The imagery of the breath of the breeze and the branch of the oak against the window -- this is fantastic. And so subtle.

    Now, I'm going to do some writing. I will be reading more of your poetry -- of that you can be sure.

    nature's breath touches the heart where it leaves echoes and smiles within the heart as we remember them!

    yes once again you have me smile with the beauty in this!

    Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

    Oh, this is so beautiful! It reads well and the form fits perfecty. I especially love the second verse.

    Minor correction: "pursuasion" should be "persuasion."
