Notes About The Poem

A photo taken nearby

Over the Falls

I whisper to you in the quiet night
So many thoughts there are to say
Immersed in the corners of darkness
While so long you have been away

All these miles of distance and time
From another life merge with today
A peaceful revelation and sublime
Only you would understand this way

Echoes unite with comfort in a stance
Words engraved one can never erase
I don’t have to take a second glance
I just realign my heart with what I face

From another realm you take my hand
Together we flow safely over the falls
Our love is a constant as the water to land
No matter if anyone hears our calls

As time races forward and waters do rise
Everything stops in our moments shared
Around every corner there is a surprise
Even apart, our voice for us is spared

A beautifully flowing poem of love, and as can happen in love "Everything stops in our moments shared", love that line and can relate to it's meaning. Well done Heidi :)

Such a gorgeous fall you took us on w/this emotionally intricate layering of two hearts. Beautiful and so creative, another fave, golden lady. Your poems are so evocative and stirs the heart w/joyous sensations. Reading your poetry gives me great peace. Love and hugs.
