Poem in Response

in

,

Prior to turning off my computer last evening, I happened to see the smile of a dear friend, the lovely poetess Michele Lee, as she appeared in the WordPress Reader – and, I wrote a few lines of poetry. This morning, I read her post “unTangled” and was inspired to complete this poem in response…

Stepping softly
Swirling smooth Sonoran sands
Moonlight drives her desert dance

An artful life
Drawing rain from the heavens
– beauty stirring tides of chance

            Hope it’s terrific ! Any hiking this weekend? It’s too hot here to go out, maybe to the beach for a very short while. 💞

              Hopefully hiking on Sunday, but the beach sounds much nicer. The combination of your natural beauty with that of an ocean landscape, like a scene from a dream – would love to be there. 💞

    I seriously think you should write more poems more often as not to cage your poetic talent in quietude! Beautiful lines, Phil!

    Thank you for this beautiful gift. A lovely tone and gesture. 😊 I WISH I could draw rains from the heavens! The monsoons are MIA! I need to do a rain dance. 😁
