i wonder tears do you think my time for laboring days are soon at end? like waves of September kissing sand good-by? i think not…and glance back at the ocean, knowing there are words still to think in this very little time, of brightly colored threads bulging things fill the surf, vestments of Neptune’s heart and i feel a morning breeze, warming the spirit dancers serve to what perishes time i sigh, surrendering one handful at a time asking, still, there are parts of me yet to find… today, there will be wet wood to lie beneath to peer with pleasure at mindfulness despite whatever else is true like a devoted god, strong with no limitations light blatantly conveys great emotional power it’s source upon our work and play you feel it perform alteration flies like tiny lights discovering drums, feathers, light posts of heaven merely oozing re-vision, grace & above all, love oh prune out sacrificed innocence let it be guiltless, transitioning shape truth is, my eyes have always been clear and the voice inside, tells me i was meant to be with me… linger, linger in the hue where the tune fork sounds with great passion so bright i squint… whitewash evoking inspiration pushing me onward to find pink brush strokes of dawn to touch the island where ash created land i am surrounded by design sprouting from mere vibrations where no one clears they’re throat or raises eyebrow it is then, i remember the froth crest egg shaped stones of iron ore this is where i live, in small talk awakenings waiting for the crumbs of some cashmere sweater but the sweater drinks a long swallow of me whispering….your pheasant blouse is that of an artist’s wear you’ve taken a life drawing class and painted self-depiction draped over your arm, now, is digestion i want to say something but i’m frozen in the glare of embroidery i look down, humbled with rounded eyes “i haven’t always been good to me” let the martyr die…set the table of life lie naked through the crowds of years and remember, always remember infused with color is color corn streaming liquid still awakening taking shape, breathing for the first time oh, for that first miraculous breath oh, iambic nature i blow on the surface of ambition like powder puffs of dandelion, they explore me with glasses hundreds of current images, encircling webbing, unanswered questions, floating on air they are pushing a stroller i look inside, the curiosity is killing me there, with few disappointments, and great possibility is a micro cosmic mountain which i cup in my hands ohhhh, i marveled at it’s expanse as it grew me, like an oriental jewel i am the entranceway wearing bottled green pale carnations tinted flesh, hanging on the wall of life with mahogany balusters silver roses announcing a staircase and i realize, the evolution of that micro cosmic mountain oh tears with mimosa centers building a fireplace do you think my time for laboring days are soon at end? before i go, i wish to fill the pockets of children to know the warm afternoon personally to clasp hands with the damned and promise them long breath i want to feel King Arthur’s round table wear my own coat say thank you to my son before this poem ends may i dance with the mayflies forget the old questions remember the marvelous poems of everyone… through Mallory her heartbeat is the language of rosettes her own may I take along the scent of fresh green grass i face the water now and like a painter growing a seascape hear the immortal language of the canvas i see life…coming directly to Pennsylvania for Christmas for poets everywhere in everyday, is Christmas i wonder tears...how well I've served you? |

Line after line after line, I want to copy them and imprint them somewhere so I can touch them on the waking moments and walk them in the dreaming times... i want to say something but i’m frozen in the glare of embroidery i look down, humbled with rounded eyes “i haven’t always been good to me” Thank you, Sis... for having the spunk that you have... and for paying it forward. |

The line that reached out and just absolutely grabbed me, was: 'I was meant to be with me'....and I hope you stay that way, because I love the beauty of your thoughts, your way of sharing them with the rest of us! Beautiful work, my friend, and a real pleasure to read....~S~ |
