your voice shivers through
me like breezes shaking
time-worn boughs

(and I cannot
resist that
ancient call)

slide your whispers
along skin, let them
sink deep as bone

breathe my name,
a fervent, sighing
psalm

and I will lift my
face to your sun and
unfurl my limbs

singing like new leaves
dancing in the
warm winds
of spring

A beautifully pinned poem such as whisper by *Blueskye27, with its vivid imagery and deeply felt emotions, certainly speaks volumes. (Featured by ^LadyLincoln)

Definitely distinct, very characteristically Cindy. :) I love how you have this classical, nature-based imagery and yet your style is a lot more free-form, dripping down the page. Broken loosely into short lines like that, your words have so much soft impact, if that makes sense.

I like the simple effect of the line sink deep as bone. It's funny, as humans, physically, it's practically the deepest you can get into us as bodies, into the marrow of our bones. But it's almost ironic, because our souls give another dimension to our physical depth and we become as boundless and immeasurable as universes. I don't think you intended for that to come about, but the point is that this poem is soft, short, unpretentious -- and yet it triggers big responses.

The imagery and mood of the first stanza is beautiful. I imagine that dry crispness of winter-turning-summer, and the silvery old arms of trees.

Having the word psalm on a separate line gives it a lot of precious gravity, and pauses you to wonder about why you chose that word -- because a psalm is reverent, worshipful, full of joy and simultaneous pain.

And yet through all of this, the poem could be from the point of view of a tree.

I like that.
