Soliloquy of Sound a blank document lays there where music should have been the edges of my fingers trembled closed my eyes to hear the sound another time and a distant place I had once held a shell to my ear stirred not shaken was the passion the tender waves of the ocean glide a love affair of sea and the shore fingers were touched by the keys and there in black and white again salty color softly licked the sand I wondered would you play me first and answer me in a shelled echoed sound "I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad." — Joni Mitchell [This message has been edited by 1slick_lady (04-08-2009 11:02 PM).] |

I was picked up on the shore by a woman with slender ways she held me to her ear--I roared and prayed she'd hear my waves I swore I would not be negligant and oh my she was elegant-- she held me to her ear and heard my whisperings of sand kernals... one by one to make a dune rattling my cage's tune building waves upon the beach where our love, it usedta be before the tide was yorn.  ?Love you.  |

the give and take of the great sea plays the background to your words of loves echo |

Water has always been me....the ocean pulled me from childhood.. The beach is my home, even when I am not there. All that to emphasize the depth of my love for this, your water words.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

and there in black and white again salty color softly licked the sand I wondered would you play me first and answer me in a shelled echoed sound I closed my eyes just to savor your images... this is magnificent!! I love serenity's response, too... such a double poetic gift is headed straight for my library!! *S* |
