Notes About The Poem

A Father's Hands

Progeny

we ...
are strands ...
they, a strumming, resonant -
notes of an ambrosial
strain that tickles the tympans of
life and enlightenment ...
they are thistle on the breath of spring,
pappus of a bloom, passionate,
set for naught but fruitful
purchase -
ideality, their roots ...
tender tendrils wrapped 'round
dreams that know
no waking ...
seeds and songs let loose
from our hearts' deepest chambers,
with a boundless hope,
and an ache ...
unyielding.

Amazing , beautifully resonating musical verses my friend. Dreams that are the salvation of the soul at times. And the soothing of the heart as we traverse this life and the many times that love floors us and gifts us its golden and sensual treasures! Congrats on this creation being recognized for its beauty, depths and musical colors. A fav-- a true gem..
