If all of you is but the robe my mind weaves Sheer pink, a radiant wrap that enfolds me If not the blush upon my skin translucent Icy still the fear forbearing in rejections wind Or just by chance of a moment’s breeze That denotes my own withdrawal so wrong I choke upon the breadth of these emotions Knowing you, a spirit sudden in flight If all was matter small, that I swept to the shore As I reached to touch a most beautiful dream I am stretched to disbelieve my own heart To honor the face value of your words…thinking That we fail to ask for the most pure of what we need Yet you come, in soothe upon my fears Your words bring days of tears, entwine of joy and sorrow And I know not the weight of each, but the credence all And could you know that you have moved me Outside the circles of myself, into a realm truth That desire guides my hands to want, my heart to hear Though yet the void sways as wheat in the breath of God And still around me wraps this love Far more than you have said atones to perfect voice As blindly I walk this path, led only by the hand of spirit And rapt in sheer, bejeweled and pink Copyright Kkh 08/14/05 |

"And could you know that you have moved me Outside the circles of myself, into a realm truth That desire guides my hands to want, my heart to hear Though yet the void sways as wheat in the breath of God" Kathleen.......absolutely stunning write -- blissful. I like the idea of wearing that pink shawl.  ....jo |

I agree with iliana. I knew after the stunning first line that it would be a gem. Absolutely love this line: "If all of you is but the robe my mind weaves" Enjoyed, miscellanea |

I have to agree with the others on this one. It is a gem penned in fine flowing elegance. More! More! More! please? |

"That we fail to ask for the most pure of what we need" my God, but you called this one straight up |

And could you know that you have moved me Outside the circles of myself, into a realm truth That desire guides my hands to want, my heart to hear Though yet the void sways as wheat in the breath of God to shed the circles that bind if only in brief interlude betwixt butterfly and chrysalis the first moment of clarity |

Kathleen? One of your best, yes! Thank you for a library moment of a current treasure to be read over and over again. I truly enjoyed the imagery! that unfolded so slowly, but so realistically! "There's a reason they call God The Creator - he sides with talent." Julia Cameron |
