Tender Years

Your brown eyes speak bright laughter has etched your fair face Your brown eyes speak their bright allure is your mystique with hands which hold such solemn grace Oh I still long for your embrace Your brown eyes speak We breath in awe for our journey's just begun now We breathe in awe for each distilled memory's raw each ripe thought rewound, an old vow hand in hand our beliefs avowed We breath in awe New Beginnings for souls with eyes of brown and gray New Beginnings bodiless and ever singing rise unbound, released, of earth's cliche a higher calling to convey New Beginnings *Form a Rondelet string. poet: Debbie Guzzi

Oh, wow, this one is simply wonderful. I LOVE the last three lines, especially "rise unbound, released, of earth's cliche." You have such a way with words!

Debbie I wish I were better equipped to express my thoughts about this write but I'm not. However the feelings of it make me think of this as righteous and maybe even about the road to it.

Debbie in your blog you talked about Rondelet, and now you're mentioning Rondelet string, I get the gist but does the latter have a particular no. to adhere to?

I love how this "feels" in the rondelet style. Very pretty, Debs. (breath is the noun, I think you mean the verb breathe). thanks for seeing some of my old haiku sets. You can notice how I love personification. Right or wrong, oh well. let me go elsewhere to tell you something.

A higher calling. That is the key for survival. To close ones eyes, to forget the sin. To hold to the Holy and forget that with in. And when we see the poor forgive. That which in the past would end.
