your voice
long distance call
one on one connection
whispering across the meadow
I speak
~
your words
touching my heart
lying amidst daisies
plucking each petal of softness
sighing
~
hello
reaching for you
across the distant miles
together we communicate
as one
~
calling
heavenly clouds
intertwining our thoughts
receiving hidden messages
we talk

That was very touching. I can think of a couple who communicate as though long distance.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex, it does remind me of couple who can communicate on a higher plane.
DeleteVery cool. I love the way the form of this poem captures that near-and-yet-so-far-away vibe of a long distance phone call and the words you have pinned within that form - PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy,
DeleteThanks so much for your kind words. I really do appreciate your comment.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.....I can feel the connection between the two....across the miles.
ReplyDeleteHow are you my friend? We need to catch up soon. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteVery beautiful, Truedessa. I'm going to echo Sherry here and tell you that I also felt the connection between the two. I love the emotion in this!
ReplyDeleteThank you Torie..I just rolled with how the picture made me feel..
DeleteThe emotional connection between them is evident. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am getting used to long distance calls and believe me it is never easy. But sooner you will learn to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteAh, I imagine it can be difficult for you as you travel to so many wonderful places to capture life in the moment.
DeleteLove the thought of what can be connected over those long-distance calls. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteSometimes the connection can be strong no matter the distance.
DeleteGreat poem, with the power of love!
ReplyDeleteThank you!

DeleteThe best messages need not be conveyed by telephone..if you are in tune with the other..they know...wonderful poem
ReplyDeleteThat is very true and this I know first hand.
DeleteWhen you can not be together, the little whispers over the phone, the little messages can keep you going - until you can.
ReplyDeleteThat is true ..those little messages can mean a lot ..
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and for your kind comments.

ReplyDeleteintertwining our thoughts

Thank you Theresa...I think that might be my favorite part as well..
DeleteThis reminds me of a local movie "Moments of Love" that I watched years ago. It's an insteresting film about two lovers from different times who developed an intimate connection to each other via an antique telephone. The story is told with an unusual & almost too impossible to happen setting, but you know moves in mysterious ways. As always, I enjoyed my reading in here, Truedesa. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelvin, Oh thanks for sharing this story it sounds mysterious and something I would totally enjoy seeing. Connecting through an antique telephone..sounds romantic.
DeleteAlways enjoy your comments my friend..take care of yourself :)
Excellent response to this prompt...
ReplyDeleteHi Berowne,
DeleteI need to get over to your place and see if I can solve this week's mystery.
sweet ...romantic!
ReplyDeleteLovely poetry, and especially that last verse :) Nicely said.
ReplyDeletethank you...
DeleteThere is a distance you put into the poem the fits so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you..a distance that is sometimes felt..
DeleteMay it be ever so, either the voice transport you to places of beauty or the places of beauty allow the two to touch each other's hearts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, that is a beautiful comment.
DeleteI love the sweet call of connection ~ Specially like the second stanza Truedessa ~ Have a good week ~
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace - Enjoy your week as well!
DeleteThis is so pretty and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteThank you...
DeleteWonderful to be connected but not quite seen. It all boils down to strong feelings that can transcend time and space! Great write Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteHank
Hi Hank,
DeleteThat is true, sometimes there is a connection that transcends time and space.
It sounds like a happy experience in all sorts of ways! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosemary, sort of mystical in many ways...
DeleteWhat a powerful Lovers Hotline ....
ReplyDeleteha- powers at play...
DeleteLove the shades of 'calling' from phone talk to 'call' from heavens!
ReplyDeleteThank humbird...the many shades of a conversation..
DeleteI love the second verse especially. The idea of savoring (or perhaps analyzing) words like plucked petals.
ReplyDeleteThank you, the second verse spoke to me as the phone rests in love - me - love -me nots...
DeleteA telephone line's like a lifeline. Two can be so far apart yet so close together. Intertwined in a common bond of the beckoning call.
ReplyDeleteAnother thoughtful and emotive poem. Thank you, my amazing friend.
Gary :)
Gary,
DeleteThank you my friend for visiting and dropping me a thoughtful line or two.
Very beautiful but it makes me feel sad and nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteHi Al,
Deletethanks for visiting...sorry I didn't mean to make you feel sad...
How soft and tender. Your reference to daisies makes me think of the child's game of pulling off petals while saying, "He loves me, he loves me not."
ReplyDeleteI do love me some daisies...
DeleteLovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda...
DeleteSoft and sweet. Like you.
ReplyDeleteSo kind of you to say Blue
Deletehope you find your shoe...
