a most beautiful song to read by
.
.
.
.
.
.
between day and mystery
.
.
.
.
could it really be…
.
.
.
these arms spent so many years
.
.
.
not holding you near,
.
.
.
.
.
without breathing in
.
.
.
the scent of love in your voice
.
.
.
when you’re close to me?
.
.
.
.
.
how long did i wish…
.
.
.
that every cloud would spell
.
.
.
your name in the sky,
.
.
.
.
.
a heavenly trail
.
.
.
i would follow faithfully.
.
.
.
in each dream i dreamt…
.
.
.
tumbling through galaxies…
.
.
.
search imploding stars for
.
.
.
.
.
any trace of you.
.
.
.
how these fingers grieved,
.
.
.
without the soft curves of your
.
.
.
body next to me.
.
.
.
tossing and turning as each
.
.
.
day morphed into loveless night.
.
.
.
.
.
awake….without you…
.
.
.
.
living in the void between
.
.
.
.
day…. and mystery.
.
.
.

Wonderful piece.
well ty so much. i stayed up all night after i heard this song for the
first time, the words just spilled out.
🙂 That is the best part about LIVING being aware and seeing and hearing sad so many don’t seem to get it 🙂
yes it is sad, but i think part of my responsibility as a poet is to remind…..
Good way to look at it.
I am speechless – the music I listened to and the words spilt softly from my lips as I read…lucky lucky Scout. Exquisite my friend {hugs} and thank you.
hi Jen, it’s an incredible song, isn’t it? she did a cover of Roberta Flack’s
‘the first time ever i saw your face’, and she took that tired song to a whole
new level of appreciation for me. i’m waiting for the right poem to come along
to use it. ty Jen, ty so much but i’m the lucky one. Scout is one in a million.
sending Love and Hugs from Louisville this morning!
It is – I must here her version then – as I love First time.. you are BOTH lucky then – love and hugs from Melbourne – 1st day of Summer in 2 hours..okay I had to rub it in 😉
hhmm, you’re lucky i love as i do Jen after that lol!….ok, i’ll send it to you,
but i can assure you you will owe me! lol!
Beautiful.
ty so much Chess, i was kinda’ feeling a little romantic tonight i guess..lol!
Good for you!
yeah…i’m kinda’ hopeless that way ! lol!
Perfect to read a poem of longing by. 🙂
good morning my Angel of Kindness, and yes, isn’t it? she’s incredible.
i happened to be scrolling through Scout’s iPod and came across a song
of hers, and then i found this on Youtube.
i can never have too much melancholy music!lol!
beautiful piece, very beautiful
hi Sky!, i. ‘m so happy to see you again and ty, ty so much!
i haven’t much time for blogging lately, i write so little and unfortunately read even less. this one will be the one of my favorites since today. i hope everything is well with you and your family.
only you how much that means to me Sky, your favorites are mine too.
and yes, we’re all well here in Louisville visiting Scout’s parents,
hanging out with Cbear and talking about ‘stuff’ like we usually do.
Have a good time and my greetings to everyone 🙂
This is gorgeous filed with longing and melancholy
oh ty, i seem to have an endless well to draw upon, and even when i’m not feeling melancholy,
i find writing and drawing upon that well strangely satisfies my soul for some reason….
I have been fiercely compelled to write lately, there is nothing better than having the time to indulge that mood
i understand, i’m feeling that way too. my words are returning, they were absent for a time
while i was getting Cbear situated but right now i don’t seem to have enough time to write all
that i want to. but all in all, not a terrible problem to have. lol!
No it isn’t lol I am glad you are feeling inspired
yeah, me too! i just wrote you a note.
You never fail to amaze me with your words and feelings. You have a constant longing and loving base line that reaches out to touch the heart, bringing peace and love as it moves through and past.XXOO
Sis, i’m so grateful for your friendship, ty so much.
all i can say is LOVE is a constant source of poetic inspiration,
and i have an abundance of Love in this heart of mine.
Such beautiful words my friend, seems we hit upon very similar themes with our posts again 🙂
well ty Erik, i appreciate that a lot. and yes we did, didn’t we?!ol i have your poem open
in a window and have been reading it, and it’s one that i need to absorb a bit before i comment.
Loved reading this with the song — beautiful
hi Dawn, ty so much. this song and her voice really inspired this poem.
Reblogged this on dawnyhosking and commented:
Listen and read — this is sublime
Dawn, you humble me once again. a writer could not ask
for a better friend. ty so much.
It is my pleasure, you are most welcome.
Wow is this just heavenly!
hi unawarebutunderlined, ty so much and a very warm welcome to you.
i often get so moved just hearing a song for the first time, it
inspires a poem, this song and her voice certainly did that.
i’m happy you enjoyed it.
Wonderful backstory…many pieces of music move me as well. Photography. Art. Color. Nature. A single word or idea…thank you for sharing. Cheers to you 🙂
you are most welcome, i seriously doubt i’d be writing with such dedication
if not for the sharing, the blogging platform is a gift for us writers IMHO.
my early training was in painting and illustration, so all that you mentioned
as inspirations are mine as well, i have a head full of of images from years
of observing.lol! oh, and ty for your follow. i read a few of your haiku a few weeks
ago and have been meaning to get back to your blog to read some more. i will now.
ty again and have a wonderful day
What is IMHO?
oh sorry, i got a little lazy lol.
it’s an internet abreviation for
‘in my humble opinion’
Forgive my ignorance to text-speak 😀
it’s no problem, i rarely if ever use them.
i love words too much…just felt a little lazy is all.
It’s Sunday…the day of rest 🙂 be lazy all you want!
I was following you before however WP is not showing people in my reader so I have to unfollow the follow to get them to show up 😦
unfortunately, you are among many here on WP,
who are experiencing the ‘Reader’ issue. it’s
frustrating, WP certainly has it’s share of glitches
so i am grateful we finally connected. 🙂
Yes I am as well.
🙂
loved this. beautifull!
well ty Himani, i’m so very glad you enjoyed it. i can’t seem
to stop playing this song, i think there’s another poem in here somewhere.
First times that can last everyday and beyond the here is truly a mystery ! BEAUTIFUL ~ always ! Debbie
‘everyday and beyond the here’
yes, that IS the profound and
simultaneous mystery of it all!
ty Debbie, for your constant insight.
I’m at a loss of words right now. This is one of my favorites from you. Breathtakingly beautiful work.
you know, i’ve been at a loss of words since i wrote this, i’m not sure why
but this poem took a lot out of me. and that you would consider it one of
your favorites, certainly makes my weariness worthwhile, ty, ty so much Noora.
My pleasure! I always look forward to your new poem! I’ll be back to read this masterpiece for sure.
“the scent of love in your voice” truly wonderful
Your words move me as always
i’m glad they do Melanie, it means a great deal to me that they do.
and ty, i felt this was a transitional poem for me…still trying
to figure it out though. it left me spent for days afterward…
I like between day and mystery…so many possibilities…
beautiful music…soothing energy…..lulling one into your thoughts…
Thank you for sharing another part of you
Take care…You Matter…
