Certainlies Reality & Memories

I see you in the shadows,

those spaces 'tween certainlies reality & memories

 freedom of a butterfly with wings that glorify

yet, you're still a tinge of blue in my mind

the cobalt dust that coats my eyes

azure mist that shades  premonitions

I feel your heart, yet in a distance

perhaps it's the fluttering of your flight

causing the winds an abrupt change 

tsunamis's rage to gentle zephyrs light

whisper gently in the morning,

embrace my dreams at night

simple tokens of soul's remembrances

Author's Note

Wish you could be here today. ♥

As if gentle fingers reach from this page, your poem touches me in so many ways. Soft blue wings, following a breeze whispering to eternity, forever you shall be with me, forever I shall be with you. For I only need but close my eyes to see your smile, to hear your laugh and understand that missing always begins with love.

Very beautiful Frieda, the longing is evident and the love overwhelming.

[Frieda P]

Holy Moly Macaroni, Frifri - this is so touching and emotional! She is always with you, love, no matter where you are, she is in your heart, forever and always. Watching you and she is so proud.

I am right, doll - I know she is so proud of the lovely, gorgeous woman you have become. She is always in your heart, day and night. xo

To hold breath , cupped in the hand of our heart, makes my will flow out my eyes.....

you're still a tinge of blue in my mind
the cobalt dust that coats my eyes
azure mist that shades premonitions

I feel your heart, yet in a distance
perhaps it's the fluttering of your flight

the remnants of a rythm - the muscle memory of a soul...in sync with our own that terminal vibration we cling to when we're half awake - its an ache. and this poem is steeped in resonance. It has its own shimmering frequency.

[Frieda P]

"Shimmering frequency' I love that T, thanks!

When you write about Lee it always touches me. I know you miss her and would give anything to have her here again. Always your beautiful butterfly...
Love this hun...xo

[Frieda P]

Days like these her lack of presence is always more pronounced, thanks Red! xo

"tsunamis's rage to gentle zephyrs light
whisper gently in the morning,
embrace my dreams at night"

I really enjoyed reading these lines Frieda. It is also true that from a distance one can still create a change. Cool poem there mon ami.

P.S. In the first line of the second section, I think it would be more appropriate to say, "yet 'at' a distance"

[Frieda P]

Butterfly theory effect, she has done as such Astro, thanks so much for your kind words....I'll have to think about 'at', perhaps it does,....much appreciate your suggestion.

[Astro]

You're welcome.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Beautiful. She is here in your soul!

[Frieda P]

Yes she is John, but she should be here for my birthday too!

[Rita L. Sev]

It is the most tenuous balance between reality and memory - important to keep both in proper measure, which you do so well, Frieda.

yet, you're still a tinge of blue in my mind
the cobalt dust that coats my eyes
azure mist that shades premonitions

The color blue owes you a thank you for these lines...

Beautiful tug on the heart here, Frieda...

[Frieda P]

I received a handwritten note from the color blue late last night, thanks so much Rita! :-)

[Coyote Poetry]

Good to be able to read your poetry. Memories can haunt us and later in life. Make us happy we tried to love once. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
Coyote

[Frieda P]

Thanks Coyote, always appreciate your kind words.

Author's note... "Wish you could be here today. ♥" I think this would have been good even added as a ending line.... It leaves me wondering..

This piece is outstanding.. xoxo

[Frieda P]

It's for my sister Lee, just wanted to leave her a special note, thanks shalimarRose.
