misted risings

Missing image


 

 

Snow and wintry ice
crowning the high sky
where land reaches to heavens,

and sun in spring and warming ways
sends drops run to rivulets to rocky edges
fly free in bold breath grasping rush


cascades of white and misted risings
tumbling into air
singular simple beauty

resounding echoes and sweetness
to green and feed a needing world
shrink away like child's hurt feelings


have we seen more than shall be seen...

    Wow... I don't know, my man. I like to play with many styles, can do form or not, rhymed/unrhymed... And I have my preferences. What remains the same and what gives me tunnel vision when reading/re-reading my writes, are my philosphies and emotions. Memories of why I wrote what I did. But reading you and others, is so refreshing. Stirs up same emotions, creating different memories (even for a moment). Thanx, dude.

    Flow is wonderful from go. Write on. One.

    Loved the last line. It made me stop and consider. Excellent use of language, and metaphor. Sweet surrender is what I feel after reading this stellar entry. Thank you for the time. I wish you the best in the challenge.


    Much Love & Respect ♥
