Swaying Slowly

Stepping into the dance Gently taking your hand in mine Entering the realm of infinite possibilities Where passion and desire breathe as one An eternal hug Enveloping our laughter and tears Swaying slowly Your breath tickling my ear We are guided by our mirrored hearts Open to the ancient whispers within Arms open wide in vulnerable flight Encountering lavender vibrations Nuances ~ miraculous moments Distant drumming arrives From within dense fragrant pines Carried on silver musical notes Pale turquoise sky Brushes against our cheeks We fill our lungs with moist cool air Breathing in gratitude Glorious heights surround us Crag and gleam of crystal Midnight ebony obsidian shafts Gulls cry above The smell of salty waves beckoning us below I ride the foam in your welcome embrace Glistening waves our chauffeur Diving deeper Into ocean’s chambers of kaleidoscope blue Sunrays guide us Coral’s fingers delight Wearing mandarin, cranberry and apple green We laugh as bubbles escape our smiles Playfully gliding upwards Our friends arrive Regal parrot fish Mosaic rainbow scales shimmering Calling out to us A sacred union gathering Inclusive of all Silent language is shared Spellbound destinies of Beauty and grace Envelop us

Susan, hi! This is yet another splendid poem in your gallery. For me, it actually began in stanza 4 witn “Glorious.” Reminded me of some fave classical etudes for piano and cello. Have an inspired day. sally

What a magic poem dear Susan, i was riveted to your every word and the romance and passion which flowed within the waves of kaleidoscope blue was enthralling. Sorry my answer is somewhat belated to congratulate you for POTD, which was so deserved, but I also want to wish you a wonderful blessed Christmas, and may all your dreams come to fruition in 2023. Jennifer.

Susan, congratulations on your POTD. This is indeed spellbinding - "a sacred union gathering" of intense images and sensual imagery - "lavender vibrations," "ancient whispers within," all create a sacred, silent language. I revel in the "beauty and grace" of your finely crafted words romantically woven together into a rainbow of delights. dear friend. This is truly deserving of the POTD! Sending you blessings "inclusive of all!" :)"
