CONJURERS SMOKE
Do you remember
......US
Aged seven
As we laughed to catch the blowing winds
Those raging gusts
Those furious gales
That set the clouds above us sail
That filled the air with dancing leaves
Churned up the rivers
And swayed the trees
Stole the mittens from our sleeves....
Do you remember
That we ran the hills
Scattering sheep in childhood thrills
Cup in hand and hands raised high
With hope to life and dreams and sky
To catch a wind
That sang and sighed....
In innocence and boundless joy
Untouched beauty
Girl and boy
Trailing scarfs and childhood hope
We reached up high
For conjurers smoke
To young to know
The truth
The joke
I remember
.....US
Aged seven
As I walk the hills and scatter sheep
Though hope and thrills I do not seek
Yet I wonder if
In your long sleep
You wake to gaze the dancing leaves
And feel the breeze
In heaven.

Hi Marion, I hope you are well, I really love this poem, it reads like lyrics to a song only you know, thanks for sharing.
Thankyou Gerard...thanks for taking the time, appreciated ?
Fantabulous, Marionette! Honestly.
Good to have you back because you're a terrific writer. Beautiful wording, and contemplative subject matter. Awesome. I loved it.
Matthew.
However, on a serious note, you have to write a mime poem. Had you been thinking about it when you were writing this, you may have been able to incorporate a mime into it, perhaps a seven year old mime, performing mimery in the sheep kingdom.
Wonderful write, though! M.
Thankyou my friend...working on it..honestly ???
