The sharing of a spirit is made
from sky and trees within the glade
but also born of time itself
across the nape that whispers all things
touching not just the bones and skin
but filling a place deep within

Its fragile strength is held at cost
of a minute's piece of freedom lost

To give so much of yourself this way
is more than I love you can ever say

Martie
When I read your poetry, I look for it...and am never disapointed. "it" is always there
Though sometimes hidden in metaphor, but always "it" is there..The "it" I speak of is the gift you have of connecting all human situations directly to the natural world...Thank you for the "it" in this poem, I enjoyed readin "it".....ice

Your spirit can be compared to a fire that never goes out.
An eternal flame seems a bit much, but it's so like you.

Hugs Martie girl~

Yes. *S* Those words are often spoken even more beautifully when lips are silent and hearts say everything.

Excellent write!

This is pure beauty, Martie.  I'd forgotten how much I loved to read your words.  I especially loved "across the nape that whispers all things
touching not just the bones and skin
but filling a place deep within"

You are a genius.
