Light, robed in fabric
satin-spun with sun-beams,
sways – swirls, extends
muscles and feet
.
in secretive dance
upon stage soft as
silk. Her music is
the subtle sigh of lonesome
.
pines, the cadence of
songbirds greeting the
dawn, the rustle of
feathers in flight;
she delights in this
moment, this filament of time
hung on summer breeze,
and she dances. Her
.
body melts into
nature’s melody – is
electrified by its pulse,
consumed by its rhythm,
.
choreographed by its
raw emotion. She lets go,
jubilation in every line,
and she dances.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Just heavenly!
🙂
Wow – thanks! 🙂
Lovely – Made me dance too 🙂
Nice! Tango away!
This is Wonderful, Mel! I love the 2nd line best–so exquisite! And those lilies are just incredible!
Ah, the whole garden has been magically transformed into a bountiful paradise. Wish you could see it!
Yep, I picture myself walking over with something just-cooked/baked for you (but not those frog legs you requested–I have to draw the line somewhere, “gag”). How big IS this magical earthly paradise you’ve nurtured?
Mmm – not sure. Don’t know in acres or square feet – am rather a measurement dweeb. Big enough to enjoy – how’s that??
I’m a meas dweeb too–just wondered if it would be, say, a whole big back yard? Or just a corner? Can you walk it in a day? Too big to catch the phone before it stops ringing? That’s how I measure…
Much bigger than a regular ole backyard – dimensions, I dunno. Could ask hubby when he gets home…
No need, I see it now! WOW.
“…nature’s melody… Indeed you are, my friend.
How sweet. Thank you!
“this filament of time hung on a summer breeze” – how lovely!
Thanks so much! 🙂
dancing is good … especially when one is dressed this nice 🙂 … thanks so much for this beautiful post!
Thanks Heidi! 🙂
Ballet on high wire!
Exactly so! Brilliant! 🙂
Delightful.
Why, thank you! 🙂
Oh no, thank YOU…; ^ O
Are the lilies fragrant ones? What a wonderful ballroom you have in your garden.
Some of them have wonderful fragrances. I am enjoying it very much!!
Random question? Have you ever dined on or taste tested lilies? Certain ones are edible, I think, but I am always too unsure about which ones to try.
I have seen pictures and heard of it, but have never tried – I would hate to ruin a flower by picking it. I wonder what they taste like??? Actually – I tried some dried lilies from a cool Asian market – but they weren’t good at all.
Mmmmm; perhaps best to leave lilies to their beautiful dancing then.
Wow… ❤ Incredible & Lovely 😀
Thank you! 🙂
Ah so lovely, Melody! I’m emailing to a dear friend who has been detoxing from prescription drugs. I thought of her when I read this because her email starts with cinderella. She’s a jewel of a friend and I know your poetry will be a blessing to her . Praying she will rise up and dance.
Hugs!
You are a good friend, Glenda. Be blessed!
Wow I want to dance like that right there in the forest it sounds so whimsical and fun
Go for it!
