I learned from the ancients
I lived on the mountaintop
I fell while strolling
and remembered nothing of my past
I met you and you loved me
how else could it have worked?
and now I am remembering
and now I am uniting your tribe
with my family on the mountaintop.
A kiss is when two worlds come together and tenderly say hello over and over.

Ed, this is beautiful. the last line takes my breath away...I am in love with words that speak of love. The world needs more of them.
Very well said! :) I love it! :) Keep sharing! :) Stay blessed! :)
Ed, this is beautiful writing. "I met you and you loved me." How very special is that! And, as Susie said, the last line takes MY breath away too.
That's a romantic last line :) nice..
This piece does a wonderful job of relating the most basic of human needs...and the most powerful...that is love.
WoW! Beautiful writing, Ed! The last line is *stunning*! I didn't know that you wrote poetry *smiles* Thanks for sharing!
aww, this is wonderful Ed! yes love should not be about anything complicated - 'i met you and you loved me' ... and i love the image of her tribe & the family from the mountain :-) love the painting too, did you make it? ps: i was so absorbed with the Samuel story when commenting yesterday that i forgot to wish you a good luck with the editing of your work!! :-)

Over and over works for me too. It's like your really in touch with the spirit of nature with this one. Just don't go streaking through any forests, be hard on the feet..haha
This piece gave me hope and took my breath away.
I didn't know you wrote poetry, Ed. Beautiful!
A kiss is tenderly saying hello, over and over. Ah, yes. Over and over.
Nicely written Mr. Pilolla
Beautiful poem. And yes, the last line makes a perfect ending. Well penned.
So beautiful, and the perfect, truest ending. Thank you.
It is all good but I absolutely love that last line!

Thanks a bunch and happy week, G
Ed, this is beautiful! It's so touching! I love it all, but your last sentence, puts everything together perfectly! I love the art work too. The sun and the moon, united as one! Stunning! Did you do the art work? Have a great day!
"A kiss is when two worlds come together and tenderly say hello over and over." - oh how I like those last lines! the whole thing - great writing!
And even though I will see her tomorrow it already feels too long. :(
Beautiful and sealed with a kiss.
Sometimes I do wonder about the past and the future and the chances they meet at the present.
These words are so lovely Ed, thank you for sharing....:-)Hugs
mmmmm...this is delicate and lovely.
That is so amazingly beautiful I can hardly stand it. Of course, it's hard to stand because I'm jealous that I don't write that well.
Love,
Janie Junebug
I'm seeing trust, surrender, and growth- how else could it have worked? The hello makes a beautiful image. Thanks, Ed.
Oh, poets.
Where would our world be without poets?
Going from zero to sixty in such a small amount of space.
The wild ride of a fast emotion..the beauty of not being able to stop your feelings.
I love that.
Be still my heart....*sigh*... This is so lovely! A kiss is like a tender way to say hello, it really is. I like thinking of it so anyway! I'm curious about the artwork image too, Ed. Is this yours? :o)
Hi... I am reading Mahabharata and the stories from it. Its a Hindu epic and contains the Bhagwad Gita-its like the Bible for Christans. Gita has less to do with God and more to do with the way to live . Very relevant to modern times. The book I am reading currently is in English. Its called- Jaya. Author- Devdutta Pattnaik. Its an easy read. Contains the stories from the Mahabharata. Read the articles on mahabharataonlie if you are interested. Especially the works by Satya Chaitanya are really good.
In fact all the great books whether the Gia or the Bible have some amazing insights on how to live. Only depends on how they are interpreted.
take care.
Please make a book of all your poetry! It is amazing and it makes your readers feel so many emotions at once. I'd so love to have a book filled with your work!
Enjoyed seeing a poem from you Ed. It's a good one, too, personal and universal.
tracy, the image is from shutterstock. i don't do any of the artwork i use. i do enjoy browsing and picking out art to match a piece.
thanks for the love:)
thanks for your comments on my blog today -- I just had to stop by and what do I find? He's a poet! I swoon :)
loved, loved this - beautifully done.
drop by anytime. Myself and other word wranglers participate in weekly poetry workshop.
here's how I interrupted "warmth"
Oh, I'm so glad I didn't miss this one today. Wow...just lovely. How do you do that? Very nice. I'll draw. You write. :)
Your words are comforting me today. A stray cat that came into our lives left as suddenly as he appeared. Thank you.
Oh Eddie... Just lovely.
Lovely nice:)
I could read you over and over and over, dear, ed...X
Only if it were so easy...
You are a poet too? Wonderful Sir Ed :)
this is delightful... just as tender in your delivery of these words.
I love the last line.
