Presence

of dreamland and quizzical dewdrops 

 
of rain clouds and misty mornings   

of long walks and the Sun upon my soul  

I heard her poetry 

of heartbeats and magikal moments 
 
delicate whispers and ethereal wings  

of a golden eagle and a crystal sky 

revelations


of breezes and lost treasures 

of wanderings and silent invitations

haiku love notes and origami fascination 

awestruck

of long pauses and  emergent  smiles  

awaiting nightfall and the rush of stars

fire circles and solitude   

here , in the presence 

of you

A strange and ethereal poem... like most of your work, very lyrical... A wonderful collection of words and images...The only thing I would say is that for me, the decorative language is so elaborate that it overshadows what I think is actually a very delicate emotion and something that could be explored using less round-a-bout speech and long fancy words...I'd also love to see you write something more feral with more of an edge, but I understand that it's not your natural style...These are only personal opinions and I know that I know very little about these things and I'm in now way trying to suggest this is anything other than a great poem, but they're only tiny things obviously that occurred to me as I read it...x

I've said it before of your work and it bears repeating here. You write like Maxwell Parish painted. Elegant stuff.

you have found what is good and right about living on this planet....you teach us how to be centered

i see your quill has lost none of its brilliance :). there's a whole world just waiting to be revealed by its tip. and how could it be otherwise, when the ink you use is that of dreams!?
