NATURAL BREATH

58

By Mentalist acer

NATURAL BREATH

Natural breath glazing through deserted Marsh grass and muddy water.

Sunlight filtered through Pine and scattered Cypress.

Arrival of peaceful retreat.

Arrival of peaceful horizon.

Arrival of peaceful consent.

Arrival of peaceful scent.

Arrival of peaceful accent.

Arrival of peaceful contentment.


Diving seagulls feeding the disturbance of tugboats struggling to send waves.

Maneuvering into the backwaters images familiar to trained eye emerge,

Tight ripples make shallow bog.

Hanging brush a must for fish.

Know the five o'clock sun.

Headlamp for night.

Headlamp for fog.


Swimming gracefully inch by inch barely noticed,

Saber gator refrains from view while just passing through.

Vista's shelter of constant change

Alto Days,

Tenor Evenings,

Vibrato Thunder,

Staccato Rain,

Crescendo Waves,

Composed Wonder.


Absence of carried voices.

Colors continuously organic.

Unformed borders.

Wind untouched.

Sublimation of needlessness.

Welcomed restfulness.


Wild senses surrounding unafraid,with mutual respect.

Distance now growing furthur from home

Far from strange choices,

Far from arranged spaces,

Far from convenient replacement,

Far from intense movement,

Far from constant faces.


Following further into thickened scene,

Of generous growing blended textures.

Mind of extremes over-taking self.

Mind of extremes projecting abundance.

Mind of extremes daring to be touched.

Mind of extremes green into blue endurance.

Mind of extremes feeling of assurance.


Intellectual design or emergent chaos,

Ambivolent to theory,

Virtue remains. Faint memory of constructed sound,

Deeper still into marshland

Not Lost,

But Found...

You're: a) hub pages' resident intellectual

b) a brilliant wordsmith

c) you post 'hot' videos for the lowbrow crowd like me!

d) you're in a class all of your own - first class!

Nifty@50,your Louisiana dishes are authentic...just this Cajun likes a little spicier than even the locals except in Accadiana around Laffayette...New Orleans and up north are pretty civilized when it comes to hot sauce and cayanne,Lol,thanks for the lovely commpliment;)

..I've come back because I'm shallow and just wanna see your sexy Cajun cook again - lol - and also to say when I read your hubs my breathing is not natural - in fact I'm hyperventilating because I know I'm learning good things here - and you make William Buckley Jr. and Stephen Hawking look like Lenny and Squiggy!

..wow I almost forgot - your hubs are awesome and thought provoking - and you know the way I write so I'm sincere about this - and I love the other pictures here too - but let's face it - the cook still wins out - hope she knows how to cook and not just look good - but on the other hand let's be honest I don't really care - lol

"Natural Breath" - the title intrigued me and as I read on I became captivated. Yes, you are brilliant and your talent is in a class of it's own, never to be reached by we mortals. The pictures are magnificent. Thank you for teaching me more about writing with this "breath taking" poem, Mentalalist acer!
