A letter to me . . . and my response

-------------------------------------

I often wonder
what soul,
far past the midnight hour
bemused
such conception
as the written word
Forged to be spoken
as if it could actually convey
breath exchanged
from mouth to neck
and lung to life

They sit around me
in droves
like a marketplace of emotion
such creations
books
and yet, I have no use for them
anymore
They once held meaning
flipping through pages
of pronunciation and definition

Now they read as a foreign language

I often wonder
if this same soul
the moon a constant companion
knew the meaning of feel  
It transcends common thought
and abounds with grace
everything which I am
and hope to be
for you
and I
eternally

I have lost sight
I do believe
to the language itself
and now have found
within you
an undiscovered train of speech

I cannot write
nor speak it
but as sure as my blood flows
like a raging river
and my lungs fill with breath
I feel you, my love

And that, indeed
is a treasure in itself


Thank you, m'love
Susie

such beauty comes from more than words...

it is a spin of soul on the edge of a raindrop, buffeted by wind, shaped by gravity, and soaked deep as it sinks
to the very soil we are planted in

this is a wonderful piece.....

(smiles) Yay! Oh Sue, I just love this beautiful response, sweet friend, handwriting is pure gold to me and I believe we cherish those kind of letters because it is written from the hand, the hand of a loved one, a voice on paper! (kiss on cheek) This is a pure gem, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Isn't it wonderful how words come to life behind eyes that see more. Not just surface, but more...places that others don't take the time to see, or are not inspired to. It's like 2 different worlds, and that's why I love poetry. It's always a deeper look just like this write is!!! Thanks for sharing it!
Love,
Terri~

At times love can be so deep
and you feel so full of his love
there are no more words to describe how you feel...
I understand.
Lovely lovely write.

Sue....The connection is made of dreams and braided with a song, then woven with the tenderness from two hearts.  Thank you for sharing this special love.

Lucky the man who reads words like these...and luckier still the man who hears them direct.

I knew this would have been a wonderful read. Sue and Ed you shine.
Words brought you together and words will forever convey what's in your hearts, even though heartbeats hold messages that do not need to be expressed, just enjoyed.
Love to both. Margherita
