~ Along the River

 

I stared, for hours;

Until I felt a warm hand

On my shoulder,

 

     So I turned around

To catch a glimpse of your face,

A fragment of touch;

 

     And I saw nothing,

Not even you, but you were there,

I knew we traveled to Japan,

     It was another river,

     Another air;

 

On the “Shinano”

We are and stare...

 

While the Sun arises

    In a golden light,

 

And the day would come soon,

 

     You just touched

           A bit of the so

Silver  moon.

My Dearest Eli,
You know how I feel about the Sun... transcending a warm touch like no other...

There is gentle eloquent voice carried within each line of your narrative, which brings me to a place of solace.

You have penned a beautiful flow of words...Vibrant write!~xoxo~

Hey Sis, sorry I was on the phone a loooong call.... :) Thank you so much darling. I know how you feel about the sun, the sun is something/someone special. And Japan, is the land of the rising Sun, the country is one of my muses... Thank you for feeling this place, and see it as a place of solace, that means a lot. Your words I carry with me always Sis, they mean much to me xoxo :) thanks....

You write dreams into existence, it seems. I'm really loving this music, but that shouldn't surprise you, haha.

You're great for seeing that, I'm a dream analyzer, catcher, lover, and write them often out... thank you again so much for being here.... huge fan of Kokia... her voice, brings me shivers, and she has a reach, that I can't describe... others hate it, but I don't care haha... :) glad you liked it too dear one. Be back soon! promise x Sleep well too in a while.

[Brittany Zedalis]

How could anyone hate such a beautiful voice?! Blasphemy! Haha

Haha, you're so right.... ;) well, there are some who do :( they have no taste!!!! hahaha

[Samuel Jack]

Another lovely dreamscape, you have such romantic dreams Elisa! This had a lovely flow, the picture and the red words really helped, but on their own the words would have sent me floating down the Shinano.

wat ga je doen met Oud en Nieuw? I bet something romantic :)

Well written and well read.

Thank you so much again Samuel, :) met oud en nieuw, lekker uit met lieve vrienden... Jij? Have the most wonderful time xx

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

This a great feeling. I like how it covers the space of a day and also multiple countries and continents. There is a touch of the surreal in the way you can take the opening lines as reality and also as metaphor.

I can't thank you enough... well said, this was a process of mind-traveling ;) I'll come back for your artwork as soon as I can ok? :D

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

That's fine...no need for responding "tit for tat" as they say. I am just glad to have you to toss ideas back and forth with. I hope you will read what I have written so far on my short story Solstice though.

I'm very interested in that one already... I will, and will help fully... thanks for the patience, means a lot. I'm thankful for our friendship, and the tossing of ideas.

[Vidya Bacchus]

You are welcome:P

Echoing memories linger in the rays of the golden Sun, in the susurrations of the whispering wind, in the breaking waves lapping at the shore and tickling the toes of our feet. The world carries our history in its heart too, written across the landscape in a language unique to each of us. Amazing poem, as always Elisa :)

Such a beautiful review, you always seem to feel me, so well. I'm smiling... :)

[Scott Metro]

This is very pretty Elisa...charming choice of words woven together with heartfelt skill.
I like this.


Scott

Thank you very much Scott, for your encouragement.. so appreciated :)

[NeiL ArandA]

This is so deep and so memorably romantic. I'm trying to figure out who was with you on this piece. Your wording are so mystifying that it keeps me guessing while reading . But I think that there's no one with you. Just a memories of that someone or somebody you used to know and still dear and close to your heart mind and soul. His scents and ghost still lingers in your own realms. :)

Thank you very much my friend... you reach deep in this one, I can tell you. What a great review, I love it what you got out of this... truly do ;)

[Kenneth The Poet]

I think this is the written equivalent of being in two places at once.

Now this thought I find really interesting ..... thanks for saying this.

[PearlPoet]

Just drifting by to reread this Jewel... ~smiles~

((Smiles back at you)) thank you so much dear friend :) all is felt, and all is around.
