life-like





moving out of space
i sample green, there is breath
in leaving behind

there is surrender
in life-like - a winter bird can
call soul out
of comforts, content, out of a confident heart

chill awakens
slumber - dance long then its frozen
path, pilfer all its pagan desire
for warm,
for soft, for
love, for

green

    there is breath in leaving behind...i like that...there are some things...and plays well with surrender in the next bit...like the symbolism of the green as well...

    Oh, the simplicity of this goes straight to my heart...but not simple in concept at all.

    It seems to me a yearning towards spring...or to life represented by 'green'.

    But lovely in any case, Barbara. And...it is a very confident poem.

    How appropriate and BEAUTIFUL a picture, that greenish shade makes me like the color green again!

    I am loving to wait here and be thoughtful, read and view (enlarged) again!
    Thank you!

    Oh! And PEACE, Barbara!

    I love the leaving behind and surrender and then the calling out and awakening after the death. Lovely :)

    I had to reread this twice. it wasnt CONtent, it was cuntent, it wasnt this way, it was the other. Your words demand to be read out loud and studied before they will yield more than just the first feelings of seduction.
