The Way Your Soul Sings

johnjgeddes (75)in #poetry • 5 years ago

You are my first snow.

Frosty winter stars
Gleaming in the heights…

By day, a lovely Maple
Glittering red
In bright sunlight

By night, a snowy whisper
Sifting
Past the window light.

Perhaps I’m dreaming,
Imagining,
As my soul takes
Flight;

It could be the wind—
Even a sigh—
But I’m sure
It’s your soul singing,
Through the mid-November night.

Beautiful prose, @johnjgeddes! It has a haunting musical quality, like the lyrics of a song. Excellent choice of a painting to go with your words as well.

It is kind of funny that today was the first snow of this year in my area.

Your poetry is very lovely. I am glad that @enginewitty shared it with us on the #PYPT Show this past week. It was very well received.

Have a wonderful week. I will look at your blog, as time permits, to enjoy more of your prose.
