SHINE poetry fans, thank you for stopping by for a dose of poetry to brighten your day! At long last (Joan has waited patiently for this Spotlight, due to a bit of an oversight here at SHINE -- eeks!), here is "Almost" by the talented Joan McNerney. Thank you, Joan, for sharing your words with SHINE international poetry series! AlmostAs if you could come so swiftly unnoticed like butterflies tapping wildflowers with soft yellow wings. Appearing before me quietly while morning mist curls through coolness of mint-green spring. You walking over roads through fields where tree shadows make heavy slants against the sun. As alive as day...saying my name... filling me up with the taste of you... kissing my mouth awake again. By touch and whisper how we would imitate long leaves weaving, undulating and finally surrendering to silence.  Joan McNerney’s poetry is published worldwide in over thirty-five countries in numerous literary magazines. Four Best of the Net nominations have been awarded to her. Her books The Muse in Miniature, Love Poems for Michael I & II, At Work and Light & Shadows are all available at amazon.com
