Can you hear a gentle breath
Through fields of golden corn
Can you hear the willow shed
Her tears of dew at dawn
Can you hear a baby cry
A baby yet unborn
Shall you touch a drifting cloud
Floating `cross the skies
To swiftly touch the dancing flames
Reflected in your eyes
And so to touch a ray of light
As o`er the land it flies
And shall you speak of distant dreams
And of life`s turning wheels
Shall you speak of that great love
The veil of death conceals
Shall you speak of thine own self
That truth alone reveals
Where hangs the perfume of a rose
Before it comes to bloom
And where the fragrance of the night
Your spirit to consume
Should e`er the scent of beauty fade
Then will we sleep too soon
Can you see the smallest star
Refulgent in the night
Can you see a butterfly
Flash by you, fast in flight
Can you see the spark of truth
Behold glorious light
images of augmented reality; you relate them and puzzle is complete...beautiful work done! ! !
Beautifully, and sensitively written Valerie, I felt quite emotional reading it... Very deep thinking but so true of the simple beauty of life. Pat Northall
We spend too much time caught up in our supperficial realty, that we miss these more important matters of life, that you have so eloquently outlined here, open our Real-Eyes......
Valerie, to what wondrous experiences, you take us along! This is a gem of a write! !
I have not seen this triplet type structure, taking use through each of our senses! Like how it reads/ works. A well thought out, clever poem, (and 'can you smell' would not have worked lol)
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
A really great poem, like it. A great write. May i invite you to read my new poem called, Angels Of Peace.
