Today, a halo formed around
the sun, high in the
mid-day sky
my wandering mind
questioned why
mirror me, a dream
filled with the magic of
you and I
mirror me, a day seen
through heaven's eye
mending torn wings
we learn to fly
linking with dVerse

Thank you for your visit
always upward & onward
Beautiful, True. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend! Circles are symbolic and one around the sun surely is a message of light.
DeleteThis is lovely! I especially like the rhythm in the opening phrases.
ReplyDeleteThank you whoever you are! May light brighten your day!
DeleteI love that you set your quadrille firmly in the present, Truedessa, by starting with the word ‘today’ and then surprised me with the ‘halo formed around the sun’. I also like the repetition, the invocation, of ‘mirror me’, and the delightful ending.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim for your thoughtful comment. I saw the halo on mother’s day. Surely a circular sign of love.

There is a tendency to make amends and progress for the better. Nicely done, True!

We need mending of torn wings as this allows one to flutter forward and upwards out of the darkness into the light.
DeleteI'm glad you posted that! Amazing image and touching words.
ReplyDeleteFor you, my friend….
DeleteThat intense sun can definitely turn us inwards.
ReplyDeleteI agree…
DeleteI like your magical poem! Reflections of you haloed in the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dwight may light circle you…
DeleteLovely and magical--wonderful photo, too. I like, as Kim said, that it is set in the present with the narrator speaking directly to the image.
ReplyDeleteMerril Thank you for hosting and your comment is appreciated

ReplyDeleteWe can learn a lot from the ways of the moon. I like your fixin the torn wings, I feel sorry when those come. Worse than my broken big tow.
ReplyDelete..
And the ways of the sun. A broken toe can be painful.
DeleteOh, lovely! This is beautifully composed, Truedessa.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading
DeleteSuperb poem! I especially loved the ending.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jay
DeleteI like not only the ideas and images but also the structure you formed from so few words.
