contact juggling

a collaboration with A True Gentleman

losing memories of groping in the dark, blindly

so much beauty here in the world..walking through...

identity..a concept upon waking..the texture of silk

oh to share the height of the smiling sky...

God's thoughts whisper into the fertile blue

the gentle murmur of spring breezes,

a walk through thawed leaves inspires a dance

as this catchy tune swirls through the heart of a bright day.

a dynamic manipulation and integration of senses
as things gather closely, safe to the ears and touch

no longer the need to beat at words with hammers
to fit them into that perfect circle.

Sphereplay..motion so pure even the gods can rest,
feeling less compelled to breathe upon us
these disorienting storms

no more wasted days trying the catch the wind
between these two hands
so that you might feel it on your face.

If the spirit could materialize

You could see inside out from me

and who else would need to know?

so much beauty here in the world..walking through...

I wish you could see through my eyes.

Please crawl under these covers of unison

These lids fit into a vintage suitcase, I promise..

I'll carry you with me wherever I go

 

Author's Note

I wish you could see through my eyes sometimes, that's how it started.

Very nice. I love the dreamy images you guys elicit here. As I read this collaborative poem; knowing yer voice, I was unable to detect when you were speaking. I suspect:

"God's thoughts whisper into the fertile blue
the gentle murmur of spring breezes,
a walk through thawed leaves inspires a dance..."

...is you. I agree with Phibby, the pace is gentle, and soft is the tone. The strength of this work for me is the dreamlike quality that these quiet-sounding verses produce within me.
The ending is nice also, but what do those 'lids' cover and what is their significance? The title is curious also.

I thought this collaboration is with him, but I wasn't sure and didn't want to make a bad call..This is why I am in awe of you and this perfect gentleman

there are a lot of gems in this piece well put together collaboration and these eyes seen through this galaxy of wishful words have stared me down...until a later daze is there to draw upon.. great write

[MOON]

This is such a delicate write of meanderings through earth and sky and the beauty within and nature the last two lines striking.

[Renée]

Oh I love collabs ! It is so fun to see where they lead..this is well done and I love the visuals as it leads...

[Valentine]

The question asked..is a deep one..to see through ones own eyes can be terrrific or terrifying..It would be nice if all with bad views could change them to yours,,love and God bless..Valentine

This was a very lovely collaboration. The words seem to flow seamlessly. It is nice to be able to see through another person's eyes. This was well written.

This is a reread but none the less on time. Beautiful and inspiring work.

the whisper within the usage matches the willow-like spirit of this piece. the move from double-spaced, to single, and back again mirrors the contrast of the world's vastness upon which "things gather closely". thank you for sharing your talent on this site.
