by Darryl Price
Take a bird down from the sky, just for a moment, it endears you to me.
Find a raindrop in the pouring rain, it is a jewel beyond compare, unless you
Are directly in possession of it. Drop it. There is a star that I cannot help seeing
In the hopelessness of darkness, it has guided me always. All my poems are gathered together inside
Your eyes like a miracle beacon coming into mine. My road has been wild and steeped
In tears, why pretend? The end is just the measure of our journey. Don't forget
To remember why we came together. On a leaf inside a bunch of blowing winds
There's the drawing of a single heart, it only means one thing. Love is free. It
Stays because it wants to believe in the right choice being made every day and
Night somewhere. Take a sunset and put it in your pocket, take it out and look
Deeply when you are alone and you will never be lonely again. Smiles have brought us
Their many tears, tears have given us their crooked smiles, but believe me I wouldn't
Trade them for anywhere else. The energy it takes to keep us here is worth
Every spoken word, good or bad. The dream goes on and on. Take a bird
As a sign that there is always more, more music, more meadows, more summer dances. More love from me to you.

"All my poems are gathered together inside Your eyes like a miracle beacon in mine"
* That image will stay with me, Darryl. Fine poem.
*, Darryl. A lovely poem.
Nonnie quoted the same image that made me gasp. *
The gentleness of the opening line welcomed me into this poem.
I love the opening line, too, and all the lines that follow. Such generosity in the words. *
More music.
I particularly like this line:
The dream goes on and on
*
The rhythm of the lines and sentences works beautifully. *
