The Children of Wednesday Around and around they go up down walls with stairs and pools carpets of grass the pond all laced green and the ladder to the slide put aside until the sun days of summer coming call the birds the cat the dog just any bug in some delight especially worms will be alright On the swing a song is running push rewind and play hold me past the time of naps past playgrounds and sand and the perfect shovel sing with me your susurration’s best we’ll make the shadows dance fast The tree is opening leaf and my balloon’s all up and bloated Squeeze the monsters from the clay and hold my hand the inches wave goodbye at the door and I will love you again on another Wednesday or more |

On the swing a song is running push rewind and play hold me past the time of naps past playgrounds and sand and the perfect shovel sing with me your susurration’s best we’ll make the shadows dance fast ahhh Martie, how utterly elequent and beautiful...this takes ones breath away...but gives it back...softly, like a drug induced song |

"On the swing a song is running push rewind and play hold me past the time of naps past playgrounds and sand and the perfect shovel sing with me your susurration’s best we’ll make the shadows dance fast" This is so beautiful Martie! I felt the rhythm of a swing in the words. Perhaps because I am a Wednesday's child?  Hugs sweet lady~ ~ The most beautiful poem ever written.. |

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this sounds like such a wonderful mid-summer evening lullaby when children meet their grandparents or so, sweet friend, I got those sweet memories in my head reading this along with some light psychedelia blended in! (angel friendship hugs) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I miss reading your gorgeous poems very much, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
