My soul's shadow

Transparent, hushed echoes

in those soft, barren places

and we wander over paths

rarely worn, rarely visible

you are my soul’s shadow    

my reflection in traced tapestries

threaded thoughts we share

as we are woven shade on shade

each color traced over horizons

endless summer firefly flights

the resonance of light lingering

as a memory in the sky’s breath

autumn’s scarlet, hot fire

we walk briskly into the unfamiliar

near enough in our distance

to hear the contrasts of voices

in our world of shared nuance

then over winter wonderlands

and dark skies laced with pearl stars   

that breathe a sweet chill

over silken white landscapes

to make confessions of red tulips

in spring’s resonance rising

where we find our singular step

Soul shadows moving as one...

~~Beautiful~~

---------- What a thrilling poem! -----------

I`m so pleased to read this write. The style, words, font, functioning of rhymes .. all things are well designed. In the short words, I only can say that I simply adore this masterpiece of the creations of art. Lovely! Well written!

Thank you so very much, Stephen! Much appreciated! My muse sings sweet over my soul... and for that I am grateful..

[Stephen]

My pleasure, Craig! Yeah, I find that talent in you ~~ you`ve really got some muses to let the souls walking over the strips of life holding a hand of peace ~~ with the words .. the words which get reflected through your stuffs. I`ve checked your earlier writings & found that you`ve been writing or been here since the many years, like most probably, since 2008 .. that`s very strange to see that you`re still over this site since the many years but yeah ... that`s very good because i`ve found that some writers or most of the writers join this site & then they always disappeared from this site ~~ when I ask this question to myself knowing the reason of joining the site & then leaving it at all then the one answer always comes outta my inner which`s ~~~ "They simply love writing because they want to NOT have to" .. and I crack some smiles on my face & start penning down some sexy words holding a sexy pen jotting down some cool words right on the paper, to get bleed in words, which are the best tools ever in the life ~~ making it run proficiently. Some times, me too make some plans to leave this site but I don`t know what kinda force`s stopping me to do this ~~ I don`t know what kinda force`s there which`s kept holding me with this beautiful site ~~~ but yeah, as long as i`m over this site, i`d love to enjoy the moments with the greatest talent I`ve found here over this cafe`s site. I don`t know i`ll be here forever or not, but yeah ... yesterday I was here, today i`m still here but tom. .. who knows about tom.? Even who`ve seen tom.?? No one .. so, let the rest of the things put aside by & enjoy the time which always brings something new to step up. It`s really a nice meeting with you, Craig. I`m pleased to read your beautiful artistry. May you always stat grateful with your beautiful talent ~~~ with your extraordinary skills.

This is true poetry. Full of beautiful images and metaphors. It was like breathe of fresh air and calming breeze on a hot summer evening. Read it again and again. Simply sublime.

...as we are woven shade on shade
each color traced over horizons...
Craig, this piece is such an exquisite expression of love! Two souls finding one another's worlds, and moving within them, in step... Your wording, the feeling... Gorgeous!

[An owl on the moon]

I appreciate your insights and expressions so much! You saw it so well.. what I felt.. feel... yes... two souls mingled into one... as the universe meant for it to be...

[Horizon K.]

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

A secret...I always save yours for last. I linger in their essence longest. There are some I leave on the screen for hours. I re- read them throughout the day ...in quite moments...in gentle thoughts...this is definitely one of those. I have already listened to it's nature three times today. Mesmerizing!

[An owl on the moon]

I do so appreciate your comments... your thoughts that inspire and lift! Thank you.. thank you... Only wishing you more inspiration and joy in each day to come! (My muse is an angel...sweet shadow... :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You painted a beautiful picture of love through your words.
Being a hopeless romantic I smiled with my face and heart after reading this.

[An owl on the moon]

How long have we been on the cafe, my friend? 7 years or so? And so I deeply appreciate your words here.. and all you've shared over these years. Life is beautiful...
