Dreaming In Clear And Aqua

 

When a mist lingers

Like a breath mint

In Mother Earth’s mouth

The bubbling brook

Becomes cool enough

To refresh the throat

Of all whom believe

In the not so secrets

That nature speaks of.

So let those that think

The sun is the only light

Dry up like dead bugs

On asphalt during summer’s noon,

I choose to listen to the moist lips

Of Mother Nature at midnight.

dear Dale... the first three lines are so poetic...
I felt as though I could taste the "breath of Mint in
Mother Nature's mouth". These are the words of a
seasoned poet... Hope you are well and enjoying Autumn.
tenderly, Pat

Mother Nature has much to offer not just the sun. I love the last two lines.

Mother Nature at midnight can be a beautiful sight.

dear Dale... in the coolness of the night when moonlight embraces the earth and
crickets are full of mirth... we find the essence of life. "The moist lips of Mother Nature" is the early morning dew upon the morning glories blue...
truly, Pat p.s. soft and mellow poetry

There is something so mystic and magical about the world at midnight. The movement of the dark life comes on like music. So beautifully expressed.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you kindly good sir I love the magic of midnight.

A beautiful ode to the moon. We do often think of the Sun as our guiding light but there is beauty in the moon and the night. Really great imagery

Thank you again for a kind review of my work.

[Corset]

This is a beautiful piece of modern art , breath mints gave it a very powerful essence, seriously! I could taste it when I read it. In my line of work we call that a :"buzz" word, something that causes sensation in positive way. reading it sounded very sensual especially the last two lines, I was just thinking earlier that I love the sound of summer crickets.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sweetie for such wonderful feedback, I am thrilled that the poem had a positive effect on you.
