Dawn

.

Feeling the light. 

. 

Dawn        -        23 Apr 22 

Windows in the dawn light 

Illuminate both ways

Lamps add to the Sun

Bring a new song

To that day 

Melody grows 

. 

Listening to the music. 

. 

Storm Singer

.

You have heard the song. 

.

Storm Singer      -      26 Jun 21 

A jagged melody

Edged by light in flashes 

Thunder drums the rhythm

And in the midst 

A lone voice proclaims

The solo line 

The storm singer

Without words 

Tells all

.

You know the singer. 

. 

Songs Of The River

An exploration of the river flow in song.





Songs Of The River  -  14 Jan 17

Spring

Tumbing over the stones

Gentle music brought forth

Cascading melody

Of the dreams of water

Flow

Wide

Sedate

Strong gentle flow

Silence in the depths

Delta

Still serene

Now a taste of salt

Carried on the wind

Licking the flavour

Ocean

Home

But the story never ends

Stars to guide

Reflected in the waves

Travel with me from spring to ocean.

October Song

Rounding off October with a reminder.





October Song  -  11 Oct 16

Wind carries the melody

Woven into a tapestry

Formed from the words

Of autumn

Leaves shaken from the trees

Dance along the road

October wraps the world

In its song

Listen for the songs.

Smiling

Keep smiling ~ it makes a world of difference.





Smiling  -  16 Mar 16

Seeing the way the world
Dances to the tune
Of the natural melodies
Smiles carry the melody
And we dance on
Smiling
Into the dream
Of us





Smiling makes a difference to individual people too.

Windwhistle

There is a house about four miles away along the coast path called Windwhistle and I was reminded of it while listening to the elements of the weather.





Windwhistle  -  08 Sep 15

Heading homeward
Listening to the sounds
Play with inspiration
Taking memories 
Entwining them with the wind
Letting them flow
Whistle calls them home
From their clifftop playground
Windwhistle
Melody of an afternoon dream





Funny how the memories come wandering back.

Songs Of Love

These really are "Songs" there are four here for your reading pleasure.
The first stanza is a Senryū, the second is a Gogyohka, the third is an Acrostic and the last is a “modern Haikū”





Songs Of Love  -  25 Jun 14

Single rose petal
Fairy boat sails on the stream
Takes my Heart to you

You sing the harmony
I sing the counterpoint
Our world filled with music
As we take the melody
Beyond expectations

Hearing your whisper
Every second I am near
Always telling of your Love
Reaching into me
Touching me deeply

I
Love
You





I think the structure works rather well.

You Are The Song

This Love song is the one I intended to post last time but another poem interrupted.





You Are The Song  -  17 May 14

You are the song
I try to sing
Your complex melody
Enchants me
But I can never
Replicate
The Beauty of you
Or sing
Your song





At least these poems are not intended to be read in any particular order.

Melody

This is the second of five related poems ~ I will share the inspiration for the set when it is complete but for now ...





Melody  -  14 Jun 13

The stars in their glory
Still sing the melody
That was old
When the stars were young
And worlds were just a thought
In their dreams

Now is the time
To open your minds
And open your Hearts
And sing along
You know the melody
You know the words ~ just sing

Thank you to Muse for suggesting the related series and for a few little hints along the way.

Love's Dance

Early this afternoon [09 Apr 11] the first stanza wandered into my mind, by late afternoon it had been completed.





Love's Dance - 09 Apr 11

Dancing in the dark
With only the light of stars
To guide our footsteps

Listen to the sea
Provide the sweet melody
To which we can dance

Across golden sands
Our steps follow, synchronous,
Flowing with the waves

We dance into dawn
Golden light now fills the sky
Stars still there - watching

Dance ~ in Haikū time
Among the infinite stars
Dance with me, my love





All I can say now is, thank you Muse.
