Bernard Chan Poet Rhyme Royal

Briefly, Between Heaven and Earth

Watch as lissom snowflakes rappel the air,
                                   From afar alike yet never the same,
                                On sojourns quiet or with much fanfare,
                             A passage lonesome or lit with love’s flame.
                     Lasting place ‘tween clouds and plains none can claim,
                            From the sky they came of low or high birth,
                                  In a heartbeat to melt into the earth.

Susan Ashley January 30, 2018 at 8:13 PM Wow and Omg! Bernard, ok, let me calm down.. lol! :)) Let's start with the title first, of course - absolutely stunning (and essentially is another line which I love)! Next, your poem is superb. Your opening line sets the tone for a gorgeous write. Your ethereal imagery is masterfully done and is endearing and enchanting. Simply splendid dear poet. Warmest wishes my friend. ~Susan Bernard Chan January 31, 2018 at 3:01 AM Susan, thank you for always being so supportive! Your generous words are a blessing, as is your friendship! :))

Agnes Krampe January 30, 2018 at 5:39 PM You paint a lovely image with your poem, Bernard. And I love the choice of "rappelling"!!! (Are you a climber?) Bernard Chan January 31, 2018 at 2:54 AM Thanks a lot, Agnes. No, I'm not a climber. In fact, I pretty much only appreciate mountains' rugged beauty from afar :) I just like "rappel" :)
