Listening Is Loving

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeJWKSbbq68

On the brush of morning a wisp of air 
a tendril round my senses, like sweet perfume 
Liquid skies that move with the waves 
of a soft whispering wind 
Calling the birds of the air, calling butterflies;
Each jostled thought calms as my remote lips  
cup and my eyes feast on a clear view 
of one Godly, beautiful day*

Special calls from ancient pine trees with arms 
loaded with pinecones and sentinel scents 
My oh my, how I love the early morning 
with all its aerate lawns and flower beds 

First glance, first kiss, first contact 
nature is cupping her velvet ear and 
listening to me, truly listening;

As I gulp each morsel of peace it imparts, 
I know without doubt that have been 
truly love, this very morning.

I enjoyed reading this one today. It would be nice to live in such an area where everyone's flowers and lawn would be lovely. Good example. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Dusk here Vie...crickets begin their sounding rituals, raccoons slowly emerge (from the sewers here!) to canvass the neighborhood bird feeders & deer rise from hidden creek beds to do the same...love your poem, a sense of peace, thank you, needed tonite, ma's had a rough week, I'll tell you about it next café... she's a fighter...

Hi Vienna, what a gentle piece of love in nature's embrace. You let your heart sing and one feels joy as one listens to your beautiful words. This is a special place in a special time. Has to be a fave. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always ..... Mike. |XX
