Notes About The Poem

original format 

even the wind,
       a delicate art, can feel my heart.
-------------------------------------------


    a lingering   l u l l a b y
                whispers low,

              and syllables  
                        fall -
 
           tracing 
      your name upon poetic lips.
             
    and while your love is felt
      across a myriad of miles,
                    i’m
         ( collecting echos )  
         

because . . .
           the wind knows,
               my      heart
                      is  
             missing you.

I am so concerned that I may have 'hurt your feelings' with my comments on the other poem, I couldn't leave you without reading another and I'm glad I did because this is so delicately beautiful I'm faving it.

This is so tender.... a coagulation of the emotions of love, nostalgic longing and a sense of tickling pain. Even nature can sense our emotions. I see the wind reading your heart and its longings. Beautiful poetry, dear Brandy. Congratulations on your POTD.

Dearest Brandy, Congrats on POTD! I felt I was standing in between presence and absence. A place where silence carries more weight than sound. I found myself lingering in that space, for love often speaks loudest when it’s just beyond reach. Lovely! Autumn Blessings, Dear Brandy, Daniel
Nicole Avatar
November 24, 2025 at 2:11 PM
Dearest Daniel, you are standing in both, my sweet friend. It's a feeling of being complete and incomplete, all at the same time. Space between moments hold a sweet ache, yet they bring the heart so much closer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and tender thoughts. I appreciate the congratulations as well. Hugs with Autumn blessings to you, my dear friend. Brandy
