Melting Time Remember when the icy wind caught my scarf and shoes were frozen and the wooden plank of sidewalk was chucked with ice that slid to treacherous and your breath blew soft cool mist onto my cheek of reddened flower? That night we cushioned our love touches in the drapes of locked-in darkness for it had been lightly raining and the sound of peace was airing as the ticking drops drowned day and dreamed me tender in its minutes. Some time during that nesting comfort time quieted and all shapes hearkened for its return to blowing dripping but peaceful was the voice that whispered and the words felt just like cotton and woke me to a room of darkling. I left your comfort for the window to see if day had come and gone if earth had twirled us into space for this unsound was filled with wonder then the drapes of magenta whistled as I looked between their folding. A perfect feathering drift of sky sliced the room and lit your face and light exploded without shadow around the pirocantha’s berries for all around the auburn mountains crystal layered the morning landscape. And I was filled with such delight that bare foot took me to the door to reach my hand into the flight of something that so seemed like magic that to this day the memory catches across the years of sun’s bright glisten to the snow that caught my palm and melted time in Sunday reverence. |

Martie - this has to be one of the best I've read of yours. I don't have words to describe what I would like to say about this writing... BC |

does it? time? melt like snow-feathers when sun blood meets cold? or does it relish the fate of finally finding deep warmth? and melt into something else? ~teasin' your mind a bit~ You get an 'A' on this Martie! Heck yeah, gal! |

"And I was filled with such delight that bare foot took me to the door to reach my hand into the flight of something that so seemed like magic that to this day the memory catches across the years of sun’s bright glisten to the snow that caught my palm and melted time in Sunday reverence." (smiles) Yay!!! Oh my gosh, this is soooooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, this is soooooo spiritually uplifting and made me feel as though an angel was sending a kiss from the heavens above and the snowflake touched like His whisper happily! (kiss on cheek) I just love this, sweet friend, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

you are, by far, the best at imagery here [from what ive seen anyway]. "and the wooden plank of sidewalk was chucked with ice that slid to treacherous and your breath blew soft cool mist onto my cheek of reddened flower?" thats gorgeous. |

Sigh............... what I would give to animate so beautifully as you do Martie, you are simply "Mrs. Metaphor" and you do it with such class. I printed this and will read it over, over, and over again. Thank you for this one. |
