April s Mountain Voices brings three wonderful poems from the prolific hand of Cynthia Stamps of Woodville and Westport, Conn. Cynthia recently returned to poetry after many years, and has graciously provided a sampling of her work for our pleasure. Dalliance tell me, when you pass a cross- hatched field of golden waving grass is your heart pulled to the length of all its strings? or do you look the other way and keep on going,, oh alas passing opportunities of what the dally brings .... tell me, does your heart soar at the thought of turquoise crashing waves? and crystalline sands that glisten on the shore? or do you turn your face away and leave behind, eyes glazed convinced you’ll never journey .- ask “what for”.... tell me, each time you pass a garden with a fragrance of delight with natures canvas all floral in motif do you hurry by and keep Gods art from sight? and think of where you're going with relief? *5* tell me, are you prone to gaze up longingly to the star lit sky of night? and loose yourself within the cosmos blaze? or do you keep a steadfast stare with boots in sight hiding in a cave of grey malaise .... tell me, do you take the time to taste the smile delivered by loves choosing? and give yourself, the whole of you , away? or do you hide the smile inside and want for all the loosing, afraid to feel- to take the words to say..... tell me, why is your breath arid beat of heart the reason for your being? if for only to love moons glistening on the dew? so take the sky and fields and love - and live it— it’s so freeing and focus on details,— the days are few.... Rapture rushing through the windrushes at a high speed rate can’t take you to the places that I know the sweetest tastes of natures plate , I truly think that you can go retreat there, I can state, decide - and go so slow (reduce your haste, try to relate) you know what I mean, let your senses take that time that otherwise I know
