    Wink The distance between us


    The distance between us is like
    you are a river,
    and I'm a cloud.
    When you flow into the open arms
    of the ocean,
    all I can do is
    adore your sweet gurgle
    over a little pebble!

    I just do not know how you keep producing these gorgeous little love-poems, I really don't! The contrast between the cloud and the river is so stark, and I wonder if it contrasts emotions? That's anothe reason I love your work, it doesn't hit you in the face, it sneaks in to the psyche. Beautiful!

    lovely childlike gurgliness

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    Thanks, Dafydd, for the gorgeous feedback.
    The contrast between a cloud and a river is the distance between me and my sweet little one! They could imply emotions!
    The classic Chinese poems never hit readers in the face;
    they just sneak in to their psyche and heart as you said!

    Thanks, Delta, for your comment!
    When my scribbling is done and presented here, it's open to interpretation
    though I didn't mean the way you thought!
    Anyway, I'm gland that you have a beautiful childlike heart reflected from your comment!

    Though you're young in age, but I think you're learned and know how to appreciate poems better than I do!
    My thumbs' up to you!
