Echoes

photograph ~ compliments myopera

 

 

Where slow waves sweep a tender shore

and sands of time so gently slept

holding our love forevermore

on pillows soft, this dream we kept

 

‘til tides they rose, his sweet goodbye

was lost somewhere, the cloudy sky?

 

And while I searched the clouds of gray

as soft as slow as my heartbeat

that filled the space where he once stayed

not empty yet, not quite complete

 

the tears they fell, the tears they stained

caught in the clouds his love remained

 

But when the moon with languid light

was softly swept with balms of spring

it glistened through a cloudy night

as melodies would softly sing

 

and I could hear the lovely score

a soft echo from shore to shore

 

And it was then, the joyous shine

of moonbeams danced upon the sea

a veil of hope felt so divine

embraced my heart, serenity

 

The endless bounds true love will know

when echoes weave a moonlit glow

I myself have a habit of finding a unique picture that appeals to me, and using that as inspiration to write something creative. Of course, reading other poets is and always will be a great motivator to get me writing too.
For this, your pictures and poems are indeed inspiring.
Well done.

This beauty brought much joy to me for sure! Love the wording, rhyming and the flow.
If I could point out just one thing to you is that you used "cloud" too many times. I feel that it takes away from the creativity... I will return to your verses again to read some more ~smiles~

you say in your "about" that your poetry isn't unique. I beg to differ...your combination of beautiful imagery, and realness...i get very caught up in your words...and this poem i can relate to with my love who is miles from me...but so close to my heart, and we share the same moon.

love it.

[MsJewel]

I'm thrilled you enjoyed this one Jacob. Thank you for your lovely comment :) Julie

Not a lot of new insights for me to add here my dear friend, just the usual beauty and elegance that I've become accustomed to when I read your poetry. You write with a sensitivity that is hard to find in most poets (I include myself in that category) It's hard to explain...I just "feel" your words. Magic :)

[MsJewel]

You are so kind. Thank you for your wonderful comment and for supporting my poetry. :) Julie

The flow and meter of this piece is pure perfection weaving a beautiful poem of love with a touch of serene solitude and longing. Excellent poetry from a master poetess. Huggs. Trace

A melancholy song written to perfection, Julie. The imagery is stunning and the emotions bittersweet. The longing is palpable. Memories can haunt. Beautifully written. lydi**

Oh that's so sad. Great rhyme and flow though

Bravo! You, msJewel, are my favorite poet. Another sublimely crafted blanket of bliss you have thrown so deftly soft and serenely upon us.
