Listen to poem:

it matters to not be able to tell where you end and comfort begins seamlessly held by another with nature to rest within we're all of the same matter then the 'what's the matter' is settled now ripples felt in the universe ruffle feathers but not souls the bark is quiet blossoms stay open to lull with fragrance with flagrant disregard for rules that don't pertain to creating a sphere of safety the soles of feet nor the heart are hardened so perch out of harms way a while be watched over and under a wing

Hi DD, your Ekphrasis are impeccable and one of a kind. "comfort begins seamlessly held by another " So true. This desire to find comfort in another's embrace or hold is seen in nature and in human beings. We all wish to be 'under a wing".... As ever this is a poem of great depth. Congratulations on your POTD dear friend.

Dear DD, A big congratulations on your POTD, and I felt that your words just danced across the screen as I read each line. I love it when a poet fills the poem with wonderful emotions and philosophical musings about nature, comfort, and rest that just touch the heart and soul. Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

An intriguing title and enchanting, soulful poem. I particularly liked “the bark is quiet blossoms stay open to lull with fragrance with flagrant disregard for rules that don't pertain to creating a sphere of safety” ~ warmest congratulations on POTD, DD

Di11y Da11y
Date: 7/4/2024 1:37:00 PM

Thank you Seeker, I liked the contrast of the idea of quiet bark as it almost seems a contrast because of the dual meaning. I appreciate your opinion that it's soulful too - that's nice to hear :)

Date: 7/4/2024 1:26:00 PM

That's so sweet Jan, it always feels a bit out of place when a poem that needs an image gets POTD so I'm pleased you took the trouble of going to my page (and indicating here there was more to see and hear). Thank you for your generous review, appreciated as always :)
