The Gift the Cat Left at the Back Door Just a bit of down and the pounding of a heart a willow wind that’s gone wings with message silent sing The magic weeping of a forest see I am full of trees their naked branches are caught in the charring of a thought Across the path the color notices the ridge and the down sky melts just is not a portent to the past only fire and rain and the reality of time gone too fast I cannot weep anymore this memory so sweet a song is in still listen born of time and mine to keep still falling with the end you stole the final clinch but left the journey and the everlastingness --------- In memory of Michelle |

Martie, although not the 21st there quite yet, it is here and I've sat in silence and prayer this morning with thoughts of you and Michelle. I love you M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Your title made me smile... it's an expression I've heard before... but rarely does it carry such beauty. *S* |

Martie It always amazes me, how you can take such a sad theme and turn it into such a beatiful thing as this poem.. But then again by reading your poetry, I should be used to that by now.... I enjoy how you turn words into visuals and feelings. ________ice ><> |
