Reaped

nostalgic, soft
words touch
light

the mind
where heart uplifts
its soar, deepens
into flight
of time

meeting
within silent yield,
reaped years

      parenchma,

      I think we should start something like this to experience through others what they experience in others - thanks for reading my poem, and by no doubt you would have read myrataal's also. I enjoyed your 'poem' expression - it added value. Be blessed. Frans

    I loved how words like ...

    uplifts and soar and flight, linked to my warbled whispers ... When part becomes art, the heart finds its soulfilled niche in the soft, fluted song of Love.

    We are truly endopathically linked. Thank you Frans, you honor our memories of the Divine.

    Love
    Myra

    WOW!

    I checked out link to myrataal's poetic work that inspired yours here. I can SO see how your inspiration took flight after reading myrataal's beautiful piece.

      Thank you so much for reading my poem too ..

      it has given me a warm feeling of interactive connectivity, if I may use that somewhat tautologic phrase. I shall return the favor, SEA angel. Love, Myra

    Intelligent

    Abstract and yet I fell connected to its simplicity. This is a deep and very softly written poem. It seems almost elegant. Great Write Frans!

      That's fine with me.

      Have you read the poem in my author's notes? My poem is based on this. Let me know if it still does not make sense. Frans

    No, sorry, but I just did not connect with this poem despite re-reading it a number of times and then reading the praise by other writers. I am giving you a couple of claps on the grounds that you probably deserve them, I mean, what would I know about poetry? LOL

      I so appreciate

      your honesty - not much of that around when someone experiences what you did. I know some would not be able to appreciate such comments, but I do, and more so, because I have come to enjoy your sincerity. I'm running for a meeting now, and hope that I'll have time to explain my thoughts to you - that is if you care to receive them. Have a great day. Frans

    Wonderful Poem!!!!!!!!!

    Hello Frans, You imagery is lovely, rather soothing. It is nice to sit back and smile upon the pleasant things in years past. So much nicer then dwelling on the not so pleasant. This was a delight to read my friend. Take care and have a nice a wonderful weekend. Take care.

    Bless You and Yours,
    Sandy

      Dear Sandy

      I'm glad you saw the positive, as so often some just 'think' of the past as a negative experience. Have blessed day. Frans

    Memories remembered can give the heart such a soft glow and in most cases we can sit back and smile saying they were good years.
