Close your eyes.
Let me come to you as an odd storm,
one that places the soft-stunned bird
back upon her branch, feathers floating from the ground
to take their places in sequence along her wing.
Let the lost home rise up again,
the lamp righted and lit.
Dream and imagine your heart, unbroken.

And a 55 for the super fab G Man.
Anything I could say would only take away from the magic of this Shay--a prayer, a promise, words like a soft touch in the night--it couldn't say it more perfectly if it had 55 million words.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I need you for?
ReplyDeleteValidation!!!
You are one of the Worlds GREATEST Romantics.
Loved your tender 55
I always smile ear to ear when I see your Avatar.
Thanks for yet another Masterpiece of Love, and have a Kick Ass Week-End

Breathtaking! How often I have longed for the rewind button to a place before endings! Now I just pull out a piece of paper.
ReplyDeletePoetry as soft as feathers ... Love as soft as feathers ... gorgeous 55 for the G-Man. THEN, there is Joan.

ReplyDeleteAh! To imagine the bird back on its perch, unharmed, and the heart unbroken again...Sublime.
ReplyDeleteOMG, the best ever. Especially the last three lines. You took my breath away with this one.
ReplyDeleteTo right the broken, to amend the past so today is perfect ... to go back in time in order to soothe and restore. Wow. You have honored me and left me speechless with such a purely lovely 55. (although I couldn't help but think this would be an AWESOME underwear ad :)
ReplyDeleteThis is utterly astonishing, Shay. Such indescribable tenderness in this piece.
ReplyDeleteThere are poems I carry with me in my purse. Your poem reminds me of one by Lady Izumi (b. 976)
“Loving you, my heart may shatter into a thousand pieces,
but not one piece will be lost.”
Now your will sit next to hers.
Thank you
Yes, this is softness.
ReplyDeleteLet me come to you as an odd storm...love that line. Such a beautiful interpretation of the painting
