Come down
oh slanted ray of light

seep into the portal
cross the divide and take this fright
bitter bitter taste of morning
where all the joy is going

My words feel like wet rags
used again and again to hold the moon
she paved the path last and said just let go
the heavy slant of eye and fly

But you are so far away
I say to no one in particular
and I can’t find the signs anymore
of love sans gold
all is falling falling into disrepair
and I have lost my hold

Can curled body find relief
or just one song like I believe
from the front row of memories room
sing me sweet then into tune
I am harmony unglued and left to scatter
seeking wings to fly is what’s the matter

you have wings... all you need do is unfurl them and join the air...

touching write here my friend..and the layered angst below seems to portend the storm inside..

==============================

You will already know I felt every word of this...
You can have me mothywings..they are singed, torn and tattered..but they always fly towards the warm... and know the way home to the heart.

You're the best I've ever felt ...
it's so wrong not to be with you.
It's getting harder to stay away,
it stops my heart just to be with you.

"Seeking wings to fly is what matters" Truly beautiful words. Everyone wants to fly and someday with enough hope we just might.

Now I'm thinking of that Carol King song.

Dear Martie, your whispers of woes go straight to the hearts of all those who love you--and your poetry. An angel of this earth, such as yourself, cannot stay aloft forever. One must land from time to time and endure the slings and arrows--making the next flight that much sweeter!

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

I am so often at a loss to reply to your work. I read you and feel all turned inside out, and I know you know my heart.

Thank you Martie.

Martie...Excellent piece. Can feel the wings sprouting in my heart and soul. The reader glides upon your wings of poetry and soars into the hemisphere of your feelings.

....what a touching poem. Here's hoping that you find those wings, and that nothing you hope for will be as remote from you as it must have felt when you wrote this tender moodsong.

Such beauty found in times of inner tempest...hold tight to who you are...
The wings will come all on their own sweet Martie. TD
