Our Song for all Seasons




Within our companionable connection
we are attuned
to the same channel of discovery

Found both buried deeply
and in the top soil
these are the layers
that earth us

There are no flocks
of birds flying
in formations of thoughts
of virtual reality

We are at home
within our house
of harmony

    Beautiful! I love the first stanza especially - dont you hate it when its slightly off the channel and all you get is static with every word spoken.

    bravo,

    Lovely love poetry...such a sense of warmth and belonging here; two hearts looking in the same direction. Beautiful.

    Really lovey loove

    This fountain of us

    We should all bathe
    in this fountain
    of over and under
    and let the waters
    of life cleanse, enhance, reveal
    The wishes of all of us sparkle in the dish
    Which holds our hopes to be drawn up to dance once more
    Wherever our spring whatever our days might bring
    What we feel today is what will mean most of all
    When we feel confused by the chill of November
    The fountain in the spring is what we remember
    This fountain of us: winter summer spring and fall

    "We are at home
    within our house
    of harmony"

    Wonderful. You create a scene and a 'feel' of two spirits interwined by their thoughts and emotions.

    this is what the connection of real, life lasting love should always be. Minds within minds within hearts within hearts

    Wow, the metaphor in this is quite good! "attuned
    to the same channel of discovery" is such a beautiful, expressive image... phrased very well, too. "the layers that earth us" is impressive as well. The third stanza I felt overwhelming with so many plurals and I thought it would work better for me if "thoughts" were in the singular, but that is only my opinion. The home-house word play is sweet, though I think it's kind of been overdone in the past. Very nice work, though. Thank you for this entry
