tender lilt
the delicate shadows of your mind
cast ethereal beauty on me
rare gem hidden in the dragon's keep
seeing you now
I weep for misunderstandings
willows bending in the wind
whisper my feelings for you
as the meditation bell chimes
steadying the rhythm of my heart
tender of soul
I've trespassed
in a consecrated place
retracing my steps
lest I turn over a stone
troubling the quiet
see me now
subtle of voice
gentle of being
guard gone
heart open
laying down my daggers
lilt tender thoughts
of a newborn day
blinking eyes ease open
seeing the sun's rays
reflected in your face
melts the coldest of hearts

Tender is racing through the veins of this verse. You rally have laid down your daggers in this extraordinary, beautiful poem. I could feel this in my soul as I read each word! Love it!!!

Brenda, you really need to
collect all of these writes
of yours that are like this
and compile them into a
compilation... they are truly
spectacular.
I'd want one - or, a few; one
to read, one to put into a
safe, and, one to give to
someone to share with.

my dear crimson
though you I know not
this side of innocence
I've barely tasted
innocence is beauty
of which I struggle in mind
the tenderness of voice
I myself find at peace.
beautiful your passage <3

You're usually pretty fierce Crim, but I love this dark delicacy. You have your gentle side and it's well apparent here. So many fine lines but these are my favorites:
"whisper my feelings for you
as the meditation bell chimes
steadying the rhythm of my heart "
Maybe this fortunate man's name could be your mantra. Excellent work!

Dear Crim, how could I say more than already bestowed? That I find peace from the peace you share here, is what I can add. I hope it's a well you can draw from more often. Be well Brenda.

Fantastic work, Crimsin. I love the willow visual and the reference. This tree is the one I have always associated with life and life force. I gravitated to those scenes in both Pocahontas and Avatar.
Guess my small pond and country creek childhood had something to do with it.
Thank You for stirring the feelings and the memories

"the delicate shadows of your mind

Though careful not to leave a trace of my nearing them,,,I leave in silence, but am filled with admiration. Love, blue angel
