Darkening Skies

Darkening Skies Thunder Claps her hands Bidding me Listen to her song I am the bass Resounding far and wide I am the drum Tapping life’s rhythms I am the strings Rising and dissolving in unison Silence enters I strain to hear a refrain But the song has faded What was is no more Self disappears With a prescient falling Dropping, dropping When A faint echo whispers Let go of the past Surrender to the present Breathe its nectar deeply Follow its rhythms Trust in abundance Last version???

I like this. 'Breathing the nectar of surrender' and 'following its rhythms. Nice one.

Oh, yes... I like the line, I am the bass... the imagery rolls off like thunder and ends with self catering. I do like this one. A perfect 7. Kathleen, you are an amazing free verse poet... if you ever write a poem or have a poem about the stars let me know..... Linda
