Poet\'s Bush Call

( whispering of forgotten hands
that shaped the contours of this land
before names were written down.)
Epic lines followed by a most beautifully painted set of images in the next stanza. A piece of work that causes the breast to swell in awe over a past that seems to extend out of dream time. A beautiful write and a fave

Love this poem and the what you did with Icarus myth. That said, this also reminds me of what I have been self-reflecting on a lot lately. How, for the longest time, I was a professional escape artist. That was then. This is now. I no longer escape. I storm the gates of hell! LOL! In some mystical way, this poem fits into that for me. Thought I would share. Brilliant poem that gets a fave. 🌹👏

As I read this Cryptic I again started off on my own path. Old winds to me are the hot air of critics stuck in rigid views and this poem tells me to not heed them to not let them bend my wings or get me down. To soar not to escape relations with others but to be discovered. That a person has the right to be themselves and have their own opinion. A lovely write

Forsooth. Yet doesn\'t love begin the healing process? Love can never erase, but like you\'ve said so excellently, be there in the empty spaces like a balm, right? Beautifully written and most exquisite read aloud, deeply poignant with excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

Oh me! To read this delicacy aloud, as poetry is to be properly treated, is an experience which seems to cull swooning, until I nearly faint in concluding. Beautifully rendered with exquisite imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love it.

such a tender and beautiful message - love does forgive and overlook a lot , especially in the first bloom of love - later it learns to forgive too..

In those unspoken moments, \"the language of skin,\" promises are made that must be kept. The wind does not forget. Your poem explicates the intimacy of lovers; the communication made without words. Loved it. - Phil A.

Cryptic your poems are always filled with deeper meaning and this one required three readings to peel away layers. There is a haunting but ephemeral feel to this poem that reaches out from the shadows and takes the hand of the reader. It begs for another reading and further enlightenment. There are great lines here (The wind carries whispers too fragile to hold) and whole stanzas the like honey are viscous each word pulling one to the next. In each reading new meaning appears and that is the measure of a great work of art. Loved it a fave
