Gossamer Bead


                   Enchants woods in valley of mist,
                               Glides from heaven's womb to exist,
                
                                         Life pours from sky.

                   Shimmers in eyes my dreams and tears,
                                Hums at nights fading my dark fears,
                                    
                                           Drop of goodbye.

                    Celestial bead in tiny palms,
                                Glimpses of divine loop of realms,

                                             Reborn to fly.

I am enjoying the poetic subleties of these words and emotions they evoke. I feel stanza one describes either rain or clouds, stanza two describes tears, but I can't quite get stanza three, please help me to understand it? You know I love your poetry. Blessings, my friend ~ John

Thank you for your kind explanation. It greatly adds to my understanding of the three drops you were aiming for. Your exquisite poem inspired me to try one in a similar vein, using a theme with three connected stanzas. I should be posting in the next day or two. Thank you for inspiring!

Glad you enjoy my words dear friend. You are right. I have tried to blend the various forms of a drop, the first one symbolizes raindrop or a drop from mother's womb that gives life, the second one is a teardrop post sadness or death, the third one is the tiny bubble of a soul released after death that reflects the loop of life and death and gets reborn in some other body. Thank you for your generous appreciation :)
