Mellow Moments in Memory

Missing image

 

 

 

Your footprints leave no trace

upon the soft soil of my heart

as you tend the gentle garden

you've planted there ~

I wake to the sacred scents

of wildflowers

swaying in the wind.

Your essence lingers

within my dreaming eyes,

whispering your subtle song

within my bones.

I follow the wild path

leading into passion's gate,

pursuing the promises that remain

radiant upon my soul.

Your touch of truth

grazes my skin

as it rises towards sunlight,

breathing freedom

you've unwrapped

as the sweetest gifts

I've ever known.

I hear the music

of dancing forests

falling

from your fingers,

a slow symphony

of grace...

    Hood-Wink!

    Your imagery is beautiful. The feeling I get is this individual has no idea of the impact they have left, and yet that does not diminish its power. Lovely work!

    Autobiographical

    This seems to be autobiographical as ...

    I hear the music
    of dancing forests
    falling
    from your fingers,


    ... couldn't have said it better myself
