Kissed By the Passing Breeze of Awakening

Kiss by the Passing Breeze of Awakening Dust of divine whimsy Flutters softly on unconscious cheeks With ephemeral dawning Fleeting like the flash of silver sandals In moonlight - here then hidden - Stepping out of the opaque Soul stirring from oblivious daydreams Stepping into moments of classical Lavender-rose moments. The leaven of breezes in stardust essence Flares in lambent clarity Caches of chimera, that drain the heartbeat, Shrivel in bursts of cheeky shooting stars. Aroused from the depths of sleepwalking, Grace notes float on rose scents Harvested in potpourris for strangled screams Scrambling through midnight fogs, Sentience revisits in soft swirls Awareness, roused by reveille, Stirs caressed codas in soft preludes, Awakes in fresh mindful raptures Nurtured by a passing angel kiss.

from the "dust of divine whimsy" to a nurturing "angel kiss"....this is a riotous romp through the realms of color, texture, scent and sound....all on paper....WOW!!

Wow! This is a stunner, Sam, your love for music pours out in each poem making me rapturous, "angel kiss" - that's what this is:)

Ever grateful to you Jo for your lovely messages and feedback that is so encouraging! Thank you! I feel so blessed by music. It is surely God's "angel kiss" to us! And, just discovered, it releases endorphins but doesn't, unless it's a lullaby, put us to sleep like that Thanksgiving turkey dinner! Thank you for sharing in this awakening with me! Sending you blessings of joy and appreciation!

Bob, thank you so much! So honored by your fav! I am deeply gratified by your gracious words and compliments! We, as poets and writers, are so blessed to be able to present "truth" in a fresh light that hopefully resonates in a new experience of life - live in a life of inspiration touched by the hand of the ultimate Creator! Thank you dear friend for affirming these simple efforts. Sending blessings of joy!

Each time I read your poems, I come across some phrases and images so spectacular and telling- never used by any one before. Such images give the reader 'lavender rose moments' and when stringed together, they make your poems stand out. Often the 'codas' of your poem lift the reader to a higher plane. Lovely, dear Sam. All the Best!

It is such a blessing to share poetry with you and I marvel at your poetic gifts. We are indeed blessed to encourage one another and spur each other onto that "higher plane!" It is a rare and beautiful gift, dear friend. Sending you blessings!
