Gossamer
The days are slim and golden.
The days are slim and golden.
They wash over me in waves –
long-legged beautiful people
stepping over me as I
sit, serene, on the floor.
I can hear the conversation
but the words are gossamer –
when I try to listen
my ears pass through
them.
Who needs to hear anyway?
The days whisper over my head
Beautiful...I can almost feel the warm fall sunshine on my shoulders as I am reading this.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThis is lovely, Bug!
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen - good to see you here.
DeleteEtherial and lovely. A great piece of succinct writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am the queen of succinct (in poetry! Obviously I'm not succinct in my other writing - ha!)
Deleteseems he is being ignored, but you have captured it wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely ignored :) Thank you.
DeleteI really like this, Dana. My favourite lines though, are the ones beginning "The days ..." They are truly exceptional. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm trying to ease back into writing...
Deletevery nice
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteBeautiful. I especially like "days whisper over my head and skip away laughing." Perfect description of these Autumn days. Don't ease back in...jump back with both feet.
ReplyDeleteWell I might just try that - ha!
DeleteLove the gossamer dream-like quality of this, Bug...nice...
ReplyDeleteThanks! Life does feel like a blur these days.
DeleteI am so happy to read your poetry again! You have the gift of words and spirit.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Karen! That means a lot coming from such a fabulous poet as yourself!
DeleteI really like how this flows... "long-legged beautiful people"... great imagery!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought about trees when I wrote that.
DeleteThis is absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteI love the feel of this!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI like this very much. It's a conjuring poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's interesting to think about... I almost thought of it as a sort of eulogy for the year, but conjuring is much more positive!
DeleteI often feels that the days are hopping right past (and over) my head. Very nice. Thank you.
