A poet's blog

Wonder

How your dark lashes veil a sure and tested sounding
And, how loon crying, echoes the call of dawn on Okanagan Lake.

How a breath of Claire’s freshly washed hair somehow expands my lungs
And, how my lips feel, against your unshaven cheek.

How the backyard lilac opening, diffuses a heady spring
And, summer breaks, under my tongue, with chocolate bits of a dipped DQ cone.

And the way I feel,
stepping wet from the shower, into your waiting eyes.

Comment by Cindee Snider Re on September 1, 2010 at 5:39am: The imagery and emotion are breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful!! I agree with Judith, these are "lines to be savored."

Comment by Jocelyn Chia on July 25, 2010 at 10:20pm: i love how you express your appreciation/experience of little but special things in life. that last phrase is very special... "into your waiting eyes".

Comment by Judith van Praag on July 10, 2010 at 8:47am: lines to be savored, bit by bit repetitively.
Wonderful imagery and accompanying image as well.
