I found this well written and beautifully presented. Free verse, but definitely had a cadence going for it. It is strange how our writing sometimes has a mind of it's own and chooses its own path. Bill

Comment from RGstar
I don't think it went the other way. I think it metaphorized into a natural place , for so is love joined at each instant, never needing explanation.
Beautiful the imagery, and beautiful the moment, and moments.
It is so beautiful to get an insight and perspective of another, especially when they are important.
Bravo.
May you have these beautiful moments all life, though in the many forms.
A serene and endearing delivery.
My best.
Have a lovely Sunday.

Thank you for this beautiful review and message. I like the thought that it metaphorized into a natural place. It did feel natural when it was finished. Thank you too for the special sixth star. Your comments mean the world to me.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Good Morning, Janet!
Such a peaceful, yet poignant offering. I enjoyed all of the nature references, especially the images in this stanza:
A Cherry blossom falls across my path.
Another branch of flowers cascade(s) down. (Because branch is singular.)
At evensong, a robin sweetly sings
while daylight fades into the hues of night.
Thank you for sharing!

Janet,
This sounds like this poem started as an ode to springtime beauty but ended as a poem of mourning for a loved one who died.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Comment from jake cosmos aller
nice poem that starts out as an ode to spring and becomes an ode to love instead. I too often start a poem that starts one way and then does it own thing and ends up somewhere else. who can deny the muse and her desires?

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the flower in the picture. It reminds people of spring time.
This year the winter is too long and cold. Spring time is overdue...
This poem is in time to welcome spring. Like what the poem says: "A Cherry blossom falls across my path. Another branch of flowers cascade down."
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Blank verse has to be one of the more difficult forms of poetry to master, yet this is exquisite. I remember when Ray (mountainwriter) so kindly took the time to help me learn the format.
I think he would love this as much as I do.
