Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Feel the Sway - Interpretive

Trifle the thoughts living on a breeze
hearts darken twist a loving soul
eased down an anchored way
can't you feel the sway

Oh mother, hear my calls
muttered in a muted melody

Pulse, held for dear thee thou
leaving dotted lines, symbiotic
airs of allusive elegance

Imbed out an echo of relief
nether real nor silenced hope 
exchanged, changed, or rearranged
resistant to extinction
slip away, go slip away

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 19, 2017 at 10:29 PM Tim, alright, I read it several times, but being mostly in the dark, I will refrain from bending your ears with some far-fetched interpretation. I hope you are going to enlighten us though:) Amitiés

Arthur Vaso April 19, 2017 at 8:02 PM That was such an intellectual volley, I am sure its flying right over their heads!!

Judy Ball April 19, 2017 at 4:31 PM Well this one is sure different from your norm Tim. It really causes the reader to go back and read it again. Couldn't understand it then either. ;) Food for thought none the less. God Bless and thanks so much for your kind words on my "The Meaning of Easter". JB

Chris Green April 19, 2017 at 2:25 PM My $2 is in the mail but sadly it is not resistant to extinction. Dang. That is such a cool line...it swayed me. Tim Smith April 19, 2017 at 2:32 PM lol...hope it is worth more than the paper it is written on...Thanks Chris...that's enough for 4 kid cones at McDonalds

Lin Lane April 19, 2017 at 2:05 PM haha Tim.. love the "airs of allusive elegance." Slip away sounds like the best choice. I'm not easily swayed...;-) Tim Smith April 19, 2017 at 2:08 PM Me neither...thanks Lin
