(1) Echoes Comments

Rating: 3.2

I was picking flowers and you were praising smoke.
The echoes of that last time linger on.
Birds pieced from the gray quilt of the dusk
Sang mighty wholeness that is ever lost.

A wonderful blend of nature and nostalgia echo throughout taking the reader on a journey through a sequence of visuals where memories are recalled with such clarity. I particularly like the line 'birds pieced from the grey quilt of the dusk'...one to savour and re read.

Can you capture a dropp of eternity? I feel you have in this poem. 'I held your face like summer in my hands.' I'm glad I didn't miss reading that sentence.

The uniqueness of this poem lies in its ability to transcend the very feelings of grief and loss that constitute its raison d’être. In spite of the birds’ song of the “mighty wholeness that is ever lost”, the tune of the lost beloved is incessantly played by the wind “through simple blades of grass”. The continuity of the tune, through the echoes, endows the lost one with a new life, emphasizing the fact that such loss, though painful, can never be ultimate.

You paint such large pictures with very few words and weave them into a mosaic magnificently. Magnifico!

My favourite lines Sandra, 'Wind played your tune through simple blades of grass. You never heard it, but I hear it still'. Dont we just love to get carried away by the drift of the wind. Bravo.Lisa

The whispering of grass is very painful and sharper than it's edges. The songs of flowers and praising smoke echoes forever. The fragrance of your rare & rich vocabulary is everlasting............!

These are senses sharpened by love, and a dream of unity, never attained. Not a word wasted.
