Susan Lawrence Poet Free verse

Inner Cosmos

Your feathered words arrive tickling my ears
The tip of your nose brushes
The back of my neck
My skin awakens

I have been calling you
Calling you back into my consciousness
My heart 
My soul

Speak to me.... let me hear you
Your deep voice
Your warm breath
I feel you on my cheeks

Memories of our times together
Dancing in the raindrops
Naked...laughing
Warm pink drops
Cascading through the canopy of
A million greens above us

Sunlight seeping through
A kaleidoscope throwing rays of light
Shafts and shadows embracing your form
Noir velvet and gold shimmer
An ethereal statue before me

Sitting cross legged on mammoth leaves
We press our palms together 
Looking into your eyes 
Past now...to before
And back to now again
A forever embrace cradled in unity

Overhead the drip drop melody of 
A thousand tears
Falling from the heavens 
Audible in form
We have been here before 
Surrounded in green majesty

Gazing towards a swaying tribe of ladybugs
Red with black spots 
Surrounded in light...glowing 
Radiating love

I hover above you spread eagle
Close enough to caress your forehead 
With my lips
Leaving a gentle imprint
A message of hope

Fly with me to the clouds
Where we may gallop and play
Frolicking through lush planetary fields

Fly now...ride on my white wings
Up....up ...up
Past turmoil and confusion
Tragedy and loss
Through the lavender veil
To cloudbursts and mist
Mystery and rebirth

Infinite space and distant time surround us
We gasp and giggle
Weightless vibrations inhabit us

Turning towards each other in delight
We cartwheel through the sky
And make snow angels 
On the hills of magenta clouds

John Watt November 13, 2021 at 5:36 PM Susan, this journey through the clouds, sky, and planets is a lush dreamscape of nature, longing, beauty, joy, and romance, with a sprinkling of melancholy. It is tantalizing to dream of rising above the tumult and simply play in weightless flight with one you love. I love the lines, 'Cascading through the canopy of / A million greens above us', and 'Frolicking through lush planetary fields'. Your creations are always highly anticipated and this one comes straight from the heart and settles in the soul. A much enjoyed read, going in my faves, and warm congrats for your POTD honor.
