Between long shadows
and golden hues of late afternoon sun
The silent movement of gossamer wings
flutter in gentle breezes
A sweet sound of birdsong
echoing through trees
Sparkling diamonds of early morning dew
caught on a spider’s web
A flapping of duck’s wings the only sound
Full moon rising to complete a starry sky
Hooting of a distant owl
Melodic sounds of a river tumbling over rocks
Cool water washing sand from between toes
The rhythmic movement of a boat upon water
Lulling you into sleep
An invitation to fill the senses
Simple wonders bring peace
and soothe a troubled soul

Butterfly fluttering Impossible to hear the delicate beauty of the moment But senses are touched by the gentleness of the vision The imagination captured and carried away on those wings Scattered thoughts up in the air bouncing from one flower to another Stopping but for a moment before moving on How freeing to not linger! No time given to dwell on tasks that bind us to reality Released from duties and obligations weighing heavily Oh please, just for one day, let me be a butterfly Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Sanaa from A Dash Of Sunny is hosting Open Link Night, Live Edition at D'Verse Poets

I have searched for you
in my life
Knowing you were always there
dancing around me
but never my partner
Passing by me
invisible to the eye
So many years growing
and learning apart
Not seeing you
but knowing you
Feeling you
without your touch
Wishing for you
to hold my hand
in life
To dry my tears
Where were you?
Why did I not
know you before?
Our lives to be lived
separately
for reasons we do not know
You are the piece
that was missing
The Yang to my Yin
The start and the finish
You finally heard my cry
You have come to me
And you have
taken my heart
Replacing the emptiness
that was always there
You have filled my senses
and now
you live with my soul
