Through the Green Pines

 At night, under a clear sky, I dream of you
drifting through the portal of another time
a lullaby whispering through green pines

poetry echoes throughout this soul of blue
wandering alone seeking life's subtle rhymes
at night, under a clear sky, I dream of you
drifting through the portal of another time

whirling in darkness until light comes in view
in the grand scheme of things, is love sublime
reality and fantasy too difficult to define
at night, under a clear sky, I dream of you
drifting through the portal of another time
a lullaby whispering through green pines

  3. Beautifully penned madrigal poem. Love your haunting refrain:
    at night, under a clear sky, I dream of you
    drifting through the portal of another time
    a lullaby whispering through the green pines

  5. I love the way the green pines throw their colour throughout your lovely madrigal, Truedessa, heightening the romance. I know how illness can affect you - get well soon.

  6. Truedessa, Susan has been unable to post a comment on your site and asked me to paste her comment here for you: Wow! The rhythm of the repeated line! It blends so lovingly with the moments surrounding it. Like "wandering alone seeking life's subtle rhymes." You have found them here. Bravo!

  7. Truedessa, you've captured so many emotions swirling around the love between two souls. It resonates deeply with me. So many good lines that sing:
    "lullaby whispering through the green pines"
    " is love sublime
    reality and fantasy too difficult to define
    at night, under a clear sky"
    You ask a question, is it real or not? As a friend of mine once told me, "it's real enough."

    Sorry you're feeling under the weather, Truedessa. Wishing you warm weather and sunshine, the green of spring.
