You touch me, talisman,
With surprise in your eyes.
The clouds are engraved
Within the cold silver skies.
You are remote, talisman,
Like a wild thing. You
Hold my spirit then release;
Setting it free so I stay true.
You touch me, talisman,
With surprise in your eyes.
The clouds are engraved
Within the cold silver skies.
You are remote, talisman,
Like a wild thing. You
Hold my spirit then release;
Setting it free so I stay true.

'The clouds are engraved
Within the cold silver skies.'

Thanks so much, Magic. Really glad you like this piece :)
*Does anyone think I should change:
'You set it free so I stay true.'
to
'Setting it free so I stay true.'
Is it a bit clumsy having another 'You' so close to the other one as it stands at the moment? I'm a bit distracted today and not sure what I think of the final line. What works best? Any thoughts?

I probably would change it to 'setting it free', but it's a lovely poem either way. I too love the idea of engraved clouds:) sarah x

I think I will change it.
Appreciate your feedback :)

Thanks for the feedback Cavalcaderl.
I have just edited the last line, however I do rather like how the rest of the poem stands :)
