(Must be a re-post because it was written some time ago.) In form like the sun’s rise before fall she dreams of love’s fire licking at sky and dances her heart openly unafraid like a passionate gypsy on a hot summer’s night. “Come! Feel the burn of this energy!” she sings to no one and to everyone as her body in sync with involuntary action gyrates to the beat of mystical tunes. The air opens up like a fabled cave to the heat of desire and need of release until precious gold and sovereigns of old become useless tender to the sensitive. The fire, the fire, one last flickering fire, forever burns love as a symbol of wealth when earth meets sky in explosive delight somewhere over there beyond her foresight. She’s a lady, a woman, an angel, you/me, imbued with love’s feel and in motion to be a second string bow to the masculine soul like sun is to sky when earth turns to fire! Helen |

"She’s a lady, a woman, an angel, you/me," She's not me Helen, the plumbing is wired differently. Heh-Heh Just kidding here . . . But what she is is fire in motion and passion spending. What she is is many things to the many who watch her create for them in the land of dance. She dances for her own sanity and the fire down below. What she is is femme fatale. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

"She’s a lady, a woman, an angel," ... the way I've always seen the female side of life. Wonderful write, my friend. j. |

Thanks everyone! Well, that was then but even gypsies grow old and go beyond the dance. I guess sometimes one could say thank goodness for memory. |
