Spanish Moss
Clinging to branches among the oaks
Timeless observer of time's passing
You sway through breezes and revolutions
Directing humanity's passage
As if orchestrating a divine symphony
With nothing but a wisp connecting you
To the lofty vantage from which you
Observe us, coy and unaffected
Your slight presence fans our dreams
As a winter wind stirs the smoldering fire
Little more than air feeds you
A hint of sea salt to spice your tasting
Of our adventures and chaos
You remain, lingering luscious
As the memory of a lover's sigh
Eternally upon us
Timeless observer of time's passing
You sway through breezes and revolutions
Directing humanity's passage
As if orchestrating a divine symphony
With nothing but a wisp connecting you
To the lofty vantage from which you
Observe us, coy and unaffected
Your slight presence fans our dreams
As a winter wind stirs the smoldering fire
Little more than air feeds you
A hint of sea salt to spice your tasting
Of our adventures and chaos
You remain, lingering luscious
As the memory of a lover's sigh
Eternally upon us
Nice post, but I was reading your profile about not sending an email or calling or passing you in a meeting saying "I liked your blog post on ______," and thought to myself, "Wouldn't THAT be cool to see you at a meeting?"
ReplyDeleteI very much doubt, however, that we would talk much about blogging!
Michele sent me this time.
Mike

Nicely written, I love Spanish moss, especially on foggy days.
ReplyDeleteAah, beautiful. I felt as if I was strolling down that very path in your picture, as the oak branches swayed gently above me. Luxurious words that leave me wanting more.
