Perhaps We Are Vines...( a collaboration with Trace)

 

Perhaps we are vines

gently intertwined

strong, yet vulnerable

as we nurture tiny buds of loveliness

hearts etched with sunlight…

 

Like a summer morning

dew kissed and glistening

diamond light

           melting

                  into ribbons of delight…

 

Wrapping us in poetic ecstasy

 

Leaves quiver,

flowers bloom

and seasons change…

 

                 We have changed

                         

Still, we remain

gently intertwined 

                   

                    Perhaps we are vines….

                                     

Growing stronger

as buds bloom to beautiful flowers

beckoning to be adorned

           by dreamers

                       and lovers

and those longing to dress their worlds

         in romantic colors of bliss…

 

So when evening falls

and the sun sets on a misty shore

the essence of the bloom will

                    shimmer

as stars dance in the sky

in a serenade of sweet lullabies

         weaving delicious dreams

            til petals fall

                 like rain

 

in the softest shower of possibilities

 

Certain  when morning comes

with the dew

         and the hope

of the next new bud to surely bloom again…

 

still we remain

with a poem in our hearts

 

Perhaps we are more than vines…

 

                          Perhaps…

        we are star-crossed

Another gorgeous poetic duet from you two. So seamless and so perfetly written. This one wrapped around me like Queen Anne's Wreath on an old wooden arbor. (I am the old arbor) :) Julie and Trace, how you write these, I don't know. How long you write these, I hope forever.

A outstanding poem. I do believe we are vines. Each of us part of one branch. Needing each other.

Perhaps the two of you are sharing the same soul....for when you collaborate, it is seamless and sweet. Lacy soft imagery in this one. I wanted to crawl between the lines to take an afternoon nap. Beautifully written. Lydi**
