the quiet gathers
looking for a sound
blades of grass
arch their backs
casting shadows on the ground
cool currents slice the air
with honeysuckle sighs
moments last for eons
remembering your eyes
how i used to shine there
when morning kissed our brows
a glimpse of fleeting paradise
is all that time allows

“when morning kissed our brows

This is poem is sweet and yet so sad. Time is the cruelest ever, and the ending of this poem is dimmed by it, all I could do was sigh.The emotion, so well conveyed. Magical poem. :)

Who ever had those experiences with you are lucky to have had them. Quite possibly one of the most sensual thigns I have read from you (and one of my favourites.)
Maybe I can give you a kiss, on a cool prarie with still air and your breath warming my face as it shelters in your arms.
Ahhh … xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
butchart replied
that would be quite wonderful my sweet prince…... ahhh indeed….. and thank you for your beautiful words….... write me when you can….. much love…...b

from the first line when I began to read this.. it was like I was holding my breath from this line “the quiet gathers
looking for a sound” but as cass said I would have to quote the entire piece, especially love the part where you are looking into his eyes to find yourself there..
whilst on one hand it happens in a blink and we miss so many moments like this because we are blinking or looking the other way, this piece is so visual, tender, beautiful, as the moment goes too quickly.. can i say that this poem speaks to my heart, it is as though you have touched something that perhaps words cannot possibly explain. Just that this has got to be probably the best poem I have read.. since “all that time allows” and thank you for writing it
i hope my comment is many some sense. Just breath-taking, and now I must return to the living, breathing, with a tear on my cheek
butchart replied
it makes perfect sense…..... your words here humble me and make me glad that i write…. that someone can feel what i feel as i write means the world to me…..... thank you so much red… you’ve touched me this morning…........ love and light….....b
Susan Trigg
Ah, those glimpses :) I love your incisive, spare writing, and your imagery like blades of grass
arch their backs
butchart replied
thanks so much….... i really appreciate your words….. b
liesbeth
beautifull.. so very beautifull.. and tender..
“remembering your eyes
how i used to shine there” says so much..
now i read about wonderfull memories.. the pain is not completely gone.. but now you show us the beauty of what was..
butchart replied
thanks for your kindness… and for seeing to the heart…..... much love…....b
lianne
Omg – this is so incredibly beautiful that I’m in tears. I’ll say like Liesbeth – those two lines capture that indelible moment but your imagery throughout is poignant and too hauntingly evocative for any compliments to measure up. Thoroughly magnificent writing, dear heart.
butchart replied
ah… your words are an equal to anything i might write…..... thank you dear one…....b
bearpaw
oh Mr B… i have missed your wonderful words….. you are a sublime being… much light & love to you…

DragonFlyer
A glimpse? Only a glimpse…? Of all the beauty and flow and life that was there? There words bring such an ache to my heart my friend… surely we all need more than ‘just a glimpse’?
Peace and light to you… and my love…

that moment of illumination- the here and now, fully present to the world and in love, if only for a moment- blissful
butchart replied
i think you and i have had similar experiences in life… as i relate to both your writings and your kind comments… thanks again…........b
hsien-ku
i loved that image of the quiet gathering looking for sound…
such an important thing to be able to experience the present without fear of future, without remorse for past – and not hanging onto the present, letting it become past without attaching to it. you write beautifully.
butchart replied
thank you so much… sometimes they just flow you know? just open up and let it pass through… i’m very honoured you like what i do…... i’m sorry i got behind on my rb but i will answer your bmail soon…..... peace and light…....b
