| Heron by Truedessa |
Wading through the marshes of life
seeking balms of shimmering light
this weary heart longs to take flight
dreams out of sight, dreams out of sight
gravity grounds me to the earth
patience a message from a bird
serenity, no need for words
what is love worth, what is love worth
calling me to the water's edge
moving softly with shallow breath
crossing an emotional ledge
poetry in depth, poetry in depth
connected we see eye to eye
clouds drift by, revealing blue sky
healing torn wings, so I might fly
lifting me high, lifting me high
linking with dVerse
author's note: I missed an earlier prompt

DeleteSuch a great photo, Truedessa. It's a beautiful introduction to your loving poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks I was pleasantly surprised at the photo. That Heton has been calling me.
DeleteI don't know this form. I must read Grace's article. But this is enchanting and sounds like song lyrics. I like it very much. It would be very easy to write a melody to this. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hearing the song of my heart.
DeleteA wonderful poem. I love the repetition at the end of each stanza. Your last stanza is perfect!
ReplyDeleteDwight thank you for your kind comment.
DeleteThis transported me to another world!!lovely
ReplyDeleteHi, so glad you felt transported.
DeleteLove your Monotetra, True! One thing about the Monotetra that there is a repetition at the last line in each stanza. It gives a powerful impact as one continues reading.
ReplyDeleteHank is ok Ma'am but we are still in the throes of the lockdown. More than a new normal, more of an imposition of restraints. Just have to live with it!

Hi Hank
DeleteThanks for visiting and leaving a comment.
I am glad you are doing okay. Hopefully, you can get more mobile soon. Here everything is opened up but, masks are being advised for everyone again as Delta makes its way.
Stay safe.
You did a beautiful job with the prompt: I feel uplifted by it!
ReplyDeleteThank you I am elated you are uplifted.
DeleteI love the 'melody' in this .....
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen
DeleteThis one made my breath catch a bit. I absolutely love the ending of each stanza. I read it as kind of a whisper. The echo is such a cool effect here. The imagery is strong. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment. I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteThis makes a lovely chant.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hopefully, it will create a positive energy flow.
DeleteEach stanza was delightful and seemed to become lighter and lighter, building to a lovely lift off at the end.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting the open link night. It’s much appreciated.
DeleteI wish everyone could see eye to eye these day.
ReplyDeleteSleep tight, True.
Thinking of you.
Blue
Me too Blue
DeleteThinking of you as well
This is lovely! The repetitions are so effective.
ReplyDeleteThank you….
DeleteLifting each other up is the way, if only that were the same for all instead of putting everyone down.
ReplyDeleteIt should be the way lifting each other each day
DeleteA glorious and sweet poem Truedessa! I love this! I wanted to take the time to say hello, and let you know that we have missed you over at the Muse. I do hope all is well with you these days.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carrie! You have uplifted me!
