Mistral of Falling Thoughts

i riffle in thoughts
on the threshold
of  this day

orchid folds
blush against
crimson shades
as memories emerge
in semblance of you

i can almost hear
your breath rise
then fall
amidst trees
like a mistral
of autumn's air
i shiver
in its touch
as i blush
within the rise
of thoughts
more flushed
then the horizon

day breaks
less satiated
then i
once again

It is the magic of your words that captures the reader, Sandy. Who can stop reading after such a start: i riffle in thoughts on the threshold of this day. Amazing poetry delivered in precious few words.

A cold wind flowing against a backdrop of color and thoughts, both beautifully illuminating as they await the arrival of this new day where old memories still linger. This was very soulful feeling to me, alone with our thoughts and nature. Beautifully expressed.

sounds like today's weather here....cool breeze, longing for a sun through the drizzle...dorian's outer bands are touching us, but your words are far more touching my friend :) hugs
