perceivings




I perceive
a sense of snow
when you passed
took a step
right through what was me
without a movement

like a whisper
in a water glass
and a storm
that whined
in your ear

I perceive
the sigh of a butterfly
where it sat caught
in your grip
and the colour of its wing beat
became exhausted and shimmered no more

like a shadow
painted on nothing
and a breath
that didn't
reach in

chasingtheday The PoetBay support member heart!
a wonderful flow and feeling here to your poem, i love the second verse's whisper to storm. a soft sense of sorrow here.
