Anticipation

[suchitralata]

Bubbles burst
float by pop away
stream sway
a whispered nerve
fluttering cadence
measured in butterfly wings
shut open eye blink
dancing water shimmering
sunlight wink
flowers nod petal twirls
bird song breeze whorls
criss cross current curls
dizzy sky
blurbing aqueous clouds
wide and high

Stage set
distant rumble
a moment
drenched in
silent expectant
still breath
rainbow bent
for

that descent

that release

that blessing 

that rain

Another beautiful poem.  One suggestion – either “streams sway or stream sways” would be grammatically correct.  I love the progression of the poem and your ending – lovely, lyrical, and beautifully written.  I keep looking at your painting on our wall and saying to my husband, “You can’t believe how multi-talented this lady is.”  Truly, I am so impressed with your ability to “speak” through your paintings and your poetry.  You are a very gifted lady and I am so happy to have gotten to know you.

Thank you Susan, yes, I was trying to take too much poetic licence with the stream sway!! 🙂

Thank you also very much for the love of my painting! I'm glad it gives you aesthetic pleasure!! That is truly the only reward for an artist!
