wonderful

arqios



 

"wonderful"

 

 

every time you lift your hands

sure as a dove taking flight

I see the way the shyness wanes —

moves of something finding wings

looking back to meet my fluttering

 

was it the sun in my eye

or the breeze that lifted high?

something quite so wonderful

 

something in you that won't explain

a sudden, soaring breath —

something quite so wonderful

 

along the riverbend

through seasons changing 

rippled waters swirl

nowhere left to hide

between the earth and sky

words and touch lay bare:

 

where we dare tread

horizon's tightrope —

something oh so wonderful

 

so, I'll float back

from what we want or fear

something oh so wonderful

 

You're so wonderful

    Cryptic your poetry often subtle requires multiple readings to catch the nuances in rhyme and meter that lead to deep feelings and buried emotions. They are masterful my friend and not nearly as appreciated as they deserve. This poem took three readings to watch the emotions grow and bloom. It indeed is wonderful. Another fave my friend
