Satish Verma I write a song
for you which you will
not find in book.
The butterfly waits
for the bud to open its
secret of colors.
Did you taste
the tears of the sky ever
in a purple dawn?
Your poem inspired me to write one of my own in reply!
Twining
No
but I walked along
the curved banks
of a gently gurgling
creek
woefully convincing
the enraptured water
below
how the ocean
sent me post cards
to share with
the weeping willow trees
in the early afternoon
why I could still taste the
innocent morning
in the air
as the bull frogs sung me
an opera of the dandelion's dare
branches twisted and majestic
brushed my shoulders
absently I strolled
my hands outstretched
fingers skimming the bushes
if earth had her own heaven
this backwoods creek bed
of gentle wild life
would faintly mirror
the human view of that
very concept
I alas whispered my peace
to the droplets of rain that
came to sit upon my shoulders
through their falling
such a marvelous hug life gave me.....
