desert winds

Loved, loved, loved this other side of you, Brenda. The Hawk. A mighty symbol of being free and doing what it must to survive. Timeless lessons abide within this formidable creature to those who trifle with it. It uses nature and is one with it. Again, we could learn many lessons from.

thank you Jerry for such a wonderful comment putting big smiles on my face :) the mighty hawk indeed a creature of great beauty I agree much to be learned from nature.. love Brenda

Oh, my Lovely, Crim.
It has been awhile since I read you.
My apologies.
But, and as always, I still remain hinged to your poetic trinkets.
Totally out of your comfort zone,
but there really is no argument on how versatile you are.
You've proven it here,
and in many others before.
This is stunning.
~love you, Devlin

I am always ecstatic to have you grace my pages with your thoughts.. thank you my Dark Queen.. love Brenda

There is such a sweet calming overflow which cascades, as the heart reads these beautiful words.
I know the feeling of a deep connecting passion, which calms your stormy waves. The soul, heart and mind ....consistently craves that very thing.
This is absolutely beautiful.

thank you most graciously Rooted one yes it is an overwhelming yet beautiful feeling.. love Crim

Perhaps out of reach but never out of sight.  I believe this hawk is also deep within.  This is a remarkably aching piece, lovely one.  It's a burning, almost barren feeling piece.  Beautifully written  :)

thank you lovely Willow you see and understand so much.. you are deeply cherished.. love Brenda

My Beautiful Brenda, when you go to this place...you so easily take us there with you...your talent holds no bounds...always in awe of you...you always bring light to my days...I hate the fact that right now I am unable to snuggle with you as we ache together...

I love you so much!

xoxo Taryn

Love this one! What I love the most about it, is that you managed to incorporate (don't know a better word) the 'theme' in each and every stanza... the imagery you thereby created is just stunning!

"your will has carved canyons in my soul" > these lines are pure artistry!

Amazing write, dear Crim

Love, Duende

brenda, my beauty, i've probably said this one too many times but...
... as much as i love your balls to the wall, hardcore poetry
it's when you are like this, so vulnerable and emotionally bare that i'm humbled to read you
loved this
xo

thank you graciously beautiful one you are dear to my soul you are an amazing artist and person.. I deeply appreciate you.. love Brenda

Bren, when you hit the nail on the head you drive it through flesh and bone all the way to the bottom of the heart with the first mighty strike! The imagery in this piece is inspiring! The bittersweetness of "forever out of reach" emotes as much emotional power as the fire of desire burning within you...
