EssenceA Poem by NevilleEssence She
smelled, almost of sunlight, of
saffron, of rain, of sacred
temples and of cathedrals .. Yet she
tasted of blueberries, of sake,
Egyptian cotton and coffee and so
very many other things besides .. Including
those sacred, freshwater rockpools,
our forefathers once
used to hunt and to bathe in .. And boy,
she could move, like all those wild
animals could move, once painted by them,
in red clay on blue rock cave walls .. Once she
felt happy, like being wrapped in summer,
in winter before the feasting began,
amid the dancing and the downpours .. She
sounded back then, I imagine, like a prayer,
or a poem might sound, suspended in amber and
even today, I adore the essence of her .. © 2024 NevilleFeatured Review
