One More Day

One More Day

***********



for the miracles in my life




I would but one more day
To see the sun shine warm
To hear happy children's laughter
To smell the sandalwood and sage
To taste the ocean spray upon my lips
To feel the bark of ancient oak
To love my love in love's own way.

I would but one more day
To dry your tears with faerie gauze
To taste your wine of Love and Life
To fill my cup as I fill yours
To help you bathe in magick pool
To hold tinkling, crystal drops from waterfall
To celebrate your life and mine.

I would but one more day
To walk the sandy beach
To hear the gentle, rolling surf
To feel its kisses on my toes
To know your hand in mine forever
To touch your silken smoothness
To rest with you as rest must come.

I would but one more day
To lie upon my ancient mountain
To see the starry glories of the night
To smell the campfire's tangy smoke
To shiver with high mountain air
To hear the silent owl a-hunting on the wing
To see again the falcon flying high.

I would but one more day
To hold a baby in my arms
To hear the squeal of happy tickle kisses
To share my world of love and good
To make a child strong and bright and tall
To never hear a hunger's sadness
To walk the fields of flowers and the bees.

I would but one more day
To know the lady bug and bumble bee
To wonder at the glow of fire-fly
To call my dove of Love upon my shoulder
To taste my humming bird's gift of nectar kiss
To watch the mantis change into twig
To see the miracle of the butterfly.

I would but one more day....

You write beautifully, frank. But especially your poetry. It comes alive and sings to people's hearts and souls. I've read your works at that one site, by the way, and also read the comments left by other writers. Very impressive.

frank... I'm crying, my overly sensitive girlie feelings are overwhelmed by your beautiful poetry! I must read more! :cry:

*seriously this has to be my favorite so far* :wink:

[frank]

The words a writer lives for! ^^ Thank you, Erin~chan. <3

I've been meaning to comment on your poetry for awhile frank, but I never got to for some reason.

I can't write poetry to save my life, so I'm quite jealous of you ^^

[frank]

Thank you butterfly! ^^

But to be jealous of a wordsmith is like a wordsmith being jealous of a butterfly. Each have their own beauty to share, and
As a butterfly may soar upon my words,
So it is I that gathers the greater gift
Of inspiration from the beauty of a buterfly.

The compliment didn't go unnoticed, at all. Again, thank you. ^_^

[Rain_Pixie]

I like the repetition of the line "I would but one more day", and the imagery was wonderful!

^^ Makes me wanna write some more.

[frank]

Sometimes, Little Sister, when the well has seeming run but dry
If patience is allowed to run its course
The well will slowly fill again.

Please do. Write some more.

I'm pleased you liked this work. there are little bits of you, and a few special others, in it, as you may tell. ^_~

Thanking you. *bows* =^.^=
