Gershon Wolf Poet Romanticism

I Sense Her Everywhere

I see her in the wispy figures of the dawn's mist
   out over the lake, ferried away on gentle breezes
      evaporating into the unknown...

I smell her in the husky aroma of a morning's
   rich cup of coffee, as I sip her fragrance
      awakening my every instinct...

I hear her voice in the still of a late afternoon's forest walk
   in the winds whistling through bare branches high above me
      in the underbrush yielding to my furtive steps...

I sense her everywhere I look, everywhere I turn
   everywhere my spirit guides me, yearning for her
      reaching for her deep in the bosom of life's embrace

L. J. Carber December 25, 2018 at 12:30 PM THIS is very good, Gershon! You evoke her spirit in both a natural and almost 'holy' way-- I only wish you wrote it longer, man! Oh, and happy holidays, old friend.... Gershon Wolf December 25, 2018 at 2:34 PM Thank YOU so much for the encouragement, L.J! Your kind words inspired me to re-read this one more critically, and I see that you're spot on: Another couple of stanzas or so would really work well---if I only had had/now have them in me... Wishing you Holiday Happiness, Gershon

Carolyn Devonshire December 24, 2018 at 9:30 PM Your poem recalls the feelings I had when I first heard the Beatles' song "Here, There and Everywhere," Gershon. You have a real talent for creating the romance in your poetry. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest, Carolyn Gershon Wolf December 24, 2018 at 10:22 PM Carolyn, I only hope that I'm worthy of half the praise you're showering on me.
