absent minded and bewildered earth’s dressing station becomes the right mood impeccably chaste with optimism hidden in the attics of life forms a truth in the soil beneath my feet romance becomes a solitary sport breaking and entering on an unfastened ten lane highway with a good head of steam like some flexed arm, thrust deep into the sea Atoned for recompense drinking a wilderness for centuries knowing these unspoiled places exist sentiments mirror a snow globe emerging in hodgepodge introspect, sizzling stories unleash myths sacred illuminating our connections, those fathomless waters and their, instinct of hum the song of universe, that so effects its petals spilling rich with no bottom mountains chatter amongst themselves about an extramarital affair between spring and winter’s cobalt stars like a memorizing real life Hemmingway breathtakingly charmed with artistry & precision fierce uncompromising truth about the inferno of creation the assemblage of momentary recognition and the wild fruits of earth’s imagination, commingling… enmeshed in some web of life so profound, so unimaginable, I fear getting to close This could be heaven, & if not, can you imagine The contemplation of it? autumn profoundly calls with orange lungs orchestrating break free souls halcyon times, finely-tuned, this dream of wilderness opening our hearts to the blood of music deep within us… teaming, in our nature, wild and mysterious so.. so full of grace a pattern focused brambles of baggy green coins lining the pockets of this big lucrative pond this pond of essence observing a dreamy phenomenon called another day… I lay still, shy…quiet, at the pulse of blood life Knowing all. detects the scent of my breath Nature names this loincloth, “ the skin of earth” Always awake, even in the center of the nights Waiting for sun to give way to night time Vikings Those silver fields of grasses in the moonlight Matrimonial, between ancient oaks & the Gods Breezes of shining waters drifting past Like a sun’s force, excited to put nails in this day Whole of epoxy laden nature Wiggling toward my ears, eyes, nose and mouth As time draws forth sweetness In a pool meant to be over and over again Demanding recognition life is not human-made and we forget that [This message has been edited by LeeJ (06-22-2005 06:31 AM).] |

sentiments mirror a snow globe emerging in hodgepodge introspect, sizzling stories unleash myths sacred illuminating our connections, those fathomless waters and their, instinct of hum the song of universe, that so effects its petals spilling rich with no bottom mountains chatter amongst themselves about an extramarital affair between spring and winter’s cobalt stars like a memorizing real life Hemmingway breathtakingly charmed with artistry & precision ~*~ Papa would have been proud of this display... |

LeeJ "so.. so full of grace a pattern focused brambles of baggy green coins lining the pockets of this big lucrative pond this pond of essence observing a dreamy phenomenon called another day…" I can remember times when I felt somewhat like this poem, but never as consistantly as you do. You, my friend are amazingly full and uplifting with words!! |

This is incredible, my friend... And I echo Marge... what I wouldn't give to have such thoughts at ANY time... my 4 a.m. thoughts tend to be mundane ones of the "you're going to be dragging all day if you don't go back to sleep" variety... but for contemplation like this, I'd gladly drag! *S* |

LeeJ, I think it is a truly great work. Yes there are "unspoiled places" but they disappear too quickly. |

We sure do forget it sometimes....and thank goodness for reminders! "mountains chatter amongst themselves about an extramarital affair between spring and winter’s cobalt stars like a memorizing real life Hemmingway breathtakingly charmed with artistry & precision" Love this verse especially, Lee! ...jo |
