fragment

I find you in the places I least expect.

I saw you in the neighbor's pond last week.

Vibrations of lessons soon to be learned
made orange leaves ripple prettily on the water.

Last night I reached for you in a dream
and spread silent wings skyward.

You walk beside me no matter where I go.

I find you in the places I least expect.

The search keeps me walking

and leads me back to you.

ha the "You walk beside me no matter where I go." made me think of a shadow - which this poem could apply to, but I'm sure would lack the intensity - unless shadow was to be lover maybe hmm maybe - either way I like that - reflections in the most odd places, it's always the way - when you look though - you won't find

oh yes.
and fortunate you are to see what you see. that the shadow and ripple in the neighbor's pond is perhaps something more.
keep walking, and seeing, and telling of it all.

A poet's soul finds little poems hidden everywhere...penned beautifully...

Lovely imagery and sonics, particularly "Vibrations of lessons soon to be learned"

Not showy, not ornamented, just fundamental words arranged just about perfectly. Sometimes shouting is overrated.

divided in bits and pieces, at corners and alleys, into rivers and mountains so that you are at all places and everywhere. the last line made me smile :-) Perfect mood setter !! great going..

Love what you've done with those found words. My take is that the 'you' is Mother Earth. A very calming, centering poem.
Thank you!
