Embracing the sky

~

Here I stand

in a lonely field

of winter rye

and dandelion

watching

faint ribbons

of apricot break

across a weary

horizon

 

And as I see

the enchanting

beauty of the

morning sun

embracing a

silent waking sky,

my heart wishes…

I were that sun

and she were

that sky

~

Good morning everyone

A powerful painted image that sweeps across the page with its beauty. Very nicely rendered Will.

[willweb]

Thanks Carlos, I appreciate you stopping by

[Marlon Ferguson]

Effective imagery that conveys lonliness and longing quite well..

[willweb]

Thank you so much.

This is a powerful creation, Willweb. It reminds me of the romantic but at the same time it feels modernized. It's quite an accomplishment. It has a Louise Gluck feel to it.
I am quite impressed.

Thanks so much Winston. I really appreciate your comment. I am humbled by your thoughts about my poem. Coming from you this means a lot.

[Nisreen]

Seems like quite a special person you admire

[willweb]

Thank you Nooni. She is very special, but.....

[Nisreen]

But what 😂 did you kill her

[willweb]

No, nothing like that. : )

[Nisreen]

Thank god
But what then …….

[willweb]

Well. let's put it this way, she is special to me, I am not so special to her. I was once but not anymore.

[Nisreen]

You do know that that’s not possible
If someone is special in your heart , the same feelings exist inside her heart …. Even feelings in this world are fair
You just need to stop pissing her off 😂

[willweb]

Good idea, I will remember that. : )

[Nisreen]

Lol ok all females flip out

[lightsong]

WOhoooo.... for whatever reason, though the voice of your poem is the same as your usual, but it feels different for me, more opening, more spiritual, more accepting, more whole, one with everything... like someone revealing and opening his heart wide and high... and oh those last few lines... breathtaking.... Love, love this one! and Good FREEING evening my friend~

[willweb]

Thank you so very much my friend. I always look forward to your visits and appreciate the kind thoughts you leave behind for me to find.

You are welcome Will.

Interesting how the mind can take an ordinary scene of nature and cast it as a symbol of something else. Here the speaker looks at the sun and sky and makes it represent a desired romantic situation. I wonder if the other person sees it similarly.

[willweb]

That's the thing, I wonder too if they see it the same way. Thanks John.

I like reading short poems like this—especially descriptive ones. Unique thanks.

[willweb]

Thank you so much

a clever bit of role reversal. on a beautiful, clear day, seems like anything is possible - sky's the limit.

[willweb]

Thanks so much Pete. I am glad you stopped by.
