~to the Moon & Back

In my heart of discontent

where remembrances lie

dandelion & butterfly raindrops

land upon my face

streaming in memories

fragile recollections of a better place

wafting through the air

into the atmosphere

on a wing and a prayer

looking for a sign

are you here with me still

within the magic of a flutterby

I sigh a dandelion's breath

dancing spirals grace a zephyr

gently drifting to the clouds

made a wish upon a star,

                   they make it that far

for our essence to meet

halfway between

 the moon & back

Your poetry is getting better and better. I hope to buy your poetry book one day and add it to my favorite. I like the flow of thoughts and how you used the language. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Wow John, you humble me with your kind words, thank you so much.

The poem was beautiful as I had no doubt when I came here, but your author's note has ripped at my heart and pulled tears from my eyes. Once more I sit here, scanning my mind, peering into every dark corner for just the right words to say and sadly I do not know what they might be. All I can offer is my friendship, and though I know it will never take the place of your sister, it is all I have. Very moving Frieda.

This is a lovely tribute, Frieda. Dandelions and butterflies...the stuff that little girls are made of...
