Naturally...........May 21st 2008

I,-------a leaf from a once mighty oak ,
Blowing to and fro , from the storms of life.
Until the gentle breeze that you are, lifted me,
Carrying me safely , to the solitude of your stillness.

YOU-------a weary traveler,
Endlessly striving to replenish , that which others depleted.
Until I became a pillow for you to rest your head securely upon,
And a blanket to warm you , until purpose softly whispers,-------come !

I-------a torrential rain,
Pouring down upon the mountain tops
Washing down, that which does not belong.
Back to its rightful place.

YOU-------The mountains majestic peak.
Guiding me through the crevices of your very being.
Giving me the power of momentum,
Flowing into the lakes of your valley, as you softly whisper-------stay!

    So deep yet you can still understand what it is that you are saying. I love this poem. It was quite pretty. Felt good to read. Rolled off the tongue nice. You are a great writer!

    those two lines are my favorite because to get to the very last word you have to follow that long line of dashes.
    somehow pausing right there, made this the best poem ive read in a long time.
    COME-STAY.
    im really not sure why i find that style so wonderful.
    also how both of those sentences have "softly whisper" in them.
    imagery is great.
    Yet another GREAT poem.
    5/5
