the way leaves dance
swaying and sighing melancholy
thin, spidery and fragile
the way light dances
streaming and bursting through
holes, cracks and tears
the way that I love
wobbling and triumphant some
translucent with effort
the way that you love
rising and setting ever
over, around and through

Beautifully written 🙂
Thank you so much!
Jennifer, your poem reminds me of “How I talk to God” by Kelly Belmonte https://sageparnassus.com/how-i-talk-to-god/
Bob – I hadn’t read this poem by Kelly Belmonte before. It was beautiful! Thank you for sharing it. Yes, in fact, I was thinking of a call/response in this poem; not specifically about talking with God, but more about being with God and how God is with me. Thank you for sharing!
I like what you write, you should connect with Paul Day, he writes wonderful Haikus as well as being quite the wordsmith and animator.
Thanks Diane! I will talk to Paul. I know he writs poetry too.
