I Sense Your Presence

I sense your presence in the wind's caress her gentle hand guiding a mantle of grass waves shimmering, rippling over a meadow to the edge of a faraway forest I sense your presence in sunlight's strength her mystic rays prodding and probing opening luminous pathways through close spaces, midst tangled tree branches I sense your presence in a flower's reach stem ascending, her petals yearning for sunshine -- warmth -- for dewy raindrops for nutrients of comfort and care I sense your presence in the pale, thin light of a crescent moon, rocking in her cradle seeking her place midst the vast starry night ~ searching the corridors of my heart

Susan, your comment has achieved its objective. I can't thank you enough. It means a lot to me. (I do labor mightily at these poems; nothing comes easily to me). Thank you! ~ gw

Oooo. I just love that 'soothing.' Thanks for calming me down (on a hectic evening here 'at the ranch.'). Much appreciated, Virginia. Best wishes, Gershon

A FAVE?! Wow! Now I know I'm doing something 'write!' I'll have to let my kids know. That'll be a first for them. (Ha, ha)... And congrats to you on your win in the contest as well, Line. ~ Gershon

Beautifully crafted poetry, Gershon. Vivid imagery of love thru the eyes of a poet naturalist. Skillfully done w/such gracefulness of ease. I was listening to my favorite meditation song while reading this earth gem. The song is titled, "Flannel Afternoon" by Darrell Barnes. I hope you enjoy it as much a I do. Love and joy always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7Gt3IgPWTw
