The tide is high, a lucky tide, the smell is clear and strong deep ocean smell, the scent of planet life; times like these I almost feel welcome here, like resting my head on warm skin the soft belly of a fertile woman more than willing, the scent of life yearning to share, it warms my soul; still this tidal air is cold from the northern deep Atlantic where Winter is more than just a memory. My gardens breathe their gentle mists in ghostly light onto the tongues of ocean cold saying, “Take me now; I am not afraid. I am here use me for my heat and I will help you to remember how we used to dance before the humans rose to interfere.” In this early mingled air surrounded by Spring tide, the moon gone from the sky its baleful eye on other lives than mine, surveying others’ tears and joys, now too dark to see the ancient river I feel it thick with storm detritus brought by the sea, child proud to share its treasures and its toys. ©2006 by icebox |

"times like these I almost feel welcome here, like resting my head on warm skin the soft belly of a fertile woman" Earthy, icebox. You seem to have such wisdom and knowledge of life. I always enjoy reading you. |

Icebox, I trip backward in time and can hardly speak when I finish reading your poems. You see yesterdays as if they were tomorrows and I feel the passion for life spill through your words and catch at my heart strings. I liked this very much. ~Karen [This message has been edited by Klassy Lassy (04-22-2006 08:10 PM).] |
