the river wide fish rise as the sun falls the water reflects colors in the sky twilight settles on an incandescent light only for the living
lovers await the night the smell of pine fresh as the wind fades as silver dulls needing a shine like a beautiful gem
the river wide fish rise as dark becomes light the sun comes up the water reflects colors in the sky
the dawn is dewey like lovers eyes awakening to love fresh in sunlight needing tender loving the water reflects the sunrise a blue sky
lovers never die just fade away falling into the horizon the forest green holding secrets of love needing a shine like a beautiful gem only for the living
Dale, have you gone to poetry school or something?! this is SO effective, and I really like the shorter style and focus on wonder and wisdom revealed in the natural world. Dawn

Love the romance flowing through this like nature.
Tranquil and delicate with just, again (sorry I'm SUCH a cracked record!) the sort of panning cinematic vision that I associate with your skilled craft, Dale. I love this sensitive portrayal and blending of the natural world with our human lives and loves. You spoon-feed us with dewey pearls of poetic lines always, that fall softly and spread ripples into the mind outwards from where they fall. TY - another beauty. LOL Kate xx
< I think i need to go fishing... ;) I enjoyed as always!

Poet, I have always found many answers and also searched very deeply whenever I read your poetry, and this stunning, well-penned composition, is no exception to ones inner quest to seek and find solace, on this spinning dot we call, “Mother Earth.” I enjoyed the read and thank you for sharing it. Take care and be well.
I love Nature poems and wish I could write more myself, but I find myself drawn in other directions, so I leave the poetry of Nature to those that do it so well, as do you... Ed
