the
meadow
By
ayaz daryl nielsen and Peggy Dugan French
filled
with dove and meadowlark
the
meadow outside my window ablaze in song
hymns
of awakening and well-being
spill
into the valley through the pines
wild
grasses and flowers sway to the rhythm
a
new peace falls over me
and
it seems I’m so much more than I was
long
ago, lost in the world without you
When simpatico stirs, the entire world looks different...
ReplyDeleteGreat duet.
Thank you Michael!
Deletethank you again, Michael. . .
DeleteVery pleasant.
ReplyDeleteThanks Constance!
Deletethank you, Constance. . .
DeleteWhat a stunning collaboration. The poem is filled with peace and I found myself reading slower, inhaling the words so to speak. Sharing the song filled meadow with someone you love does feel like your last two lines--" it seems I'm so much more than I was/ long ago, lost in the world without you."

ReplyDeleteIn the meadow
ReplyDeletethe duo of talented poets
find peace among the pines
flowers and grass
they transmit it through a verbal construct/mode
called poetry
and readers, too, experience the
identical peace and the nirvana
by being transported there with the doves and larks!
Thanks for this Sunil, enjoyed it!!!!
