in Poetry

Sun shines through
a pickerel sky,
loons
rock on the water.

I feel a presence
by my side,
hear whispers
and some laughter.

I know that if
I turn my head
I’ll only see
the cedar.

My eyes I keep
on trails ahead
in hopes
that I might see her.

Spirit, you fill
my heart with love
yet, nowhere
can I see you.

A glimpse (perhaps),
or in my dreams.
I long so
just to touch you.

Your hand to take
within my own,
my lips
to kiss your fingers.

Please grant to me
this simple wish.
I’ll remain
forever grateful.

    Well again you are always welcome. If you want to have a good laugh, you’ll like it. The stories are short, so it is easy to read a story in a few minutes and hopefully brighten and lighten up your day. You’ll think I’m a total idiot. lol Now that I have a new publisher, the other books are very cheap and marketable. If you have purchased ‘Paths On A Rainbow” then know that “Turbulent Sea of Emotions” is the same content. God Bless, my friend

  Yes, that was the feeling that I had. I was trying to connect with nature, the unknown, the spirit world, my dreams and visions. I wanted to connect the unreal with the real in a figurative and an actual sense. I was waiting eagerly for love to happen, because, I believe that love is the answer to true communication. I enjoyed reading your blog. You have a very interesting and challenging job. ~ Dennis

This poem is so sweet and…gentlemanly! It made me think that there are still people who think and act like that. It’ll’ be hard to get over this poem, haha.:)

  I guess I’m old school. I was taught by my parents to be polite. It never hurts, but it’s not always appreciated. ~ Dennis
