Notes About The Poem

Written for the contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

In Another Life

When the moon sighs wisteria whispers
upon twilight tendrils tied in gold
I taste the perfumed breeze of time
as we ache like silent stars~
longing to swirl as one.
Perhaps someday in
a realm of dreams 
we'll breathe soft
sparks of
love.

IE, another beautiful wish expressed. I visualize the words toppling over since I suspect it will likely not come to pass. I know I was and am one of those people who could become attached to another person very easily. It led to a lot of pain in my now marvelous life. Of course, there are compatible "stars" out there for us and if we're lucky, we can make the light shine for an entire life. So, perhaps the pyramid can stand after all! Smiles!! I'm thinking about time and if we can be patient and true, some marvelous things do happen. May I say that reading a poem like this and the thoughts it stimulates is worth years of therapy? It does wonders for the soul and stimulates feeling good. Really amazing! Double smiles!!

I don’t know where you pulled those last 5 lines from Ink, but the imagery is quite profound, love the binary stars too, would you believe there is possibly more binary systems swirling as one, than single star systems, so there is hope for us all yet lol! Superb Etheree, cheers David

Thank you so very much dear david, that is a very intellectual way of comforting one that theres a possibility of being one in this life as there are more binary systems. I find stars and anything to do with constellations fascinating, so i really enjoyed reading this thoughtful comment; grateful truly
