She bowed her head only
When the high winds I cannot feel
Blew against her to set braided hair in streams to fly
And I sat underneath the edges of her will
Bathed in shady solace grafted to the clouds
Finding the silence within myself
Too much to explain but as the whorl
Of some high walled eye she was yet to build
And I was too small to own
Should she pass it over me and glance
With interest at the small heart I was

Yet inside this still
I embraced the roil of dark bottomed chill
She sent in front of a rage time would loose
Along thick stemmed grass and deep rooted fir

Naked in the draft of plains
She stood as if motionless
Breathing in and out again her rain
Where I wet my hands
Then painted the scent of summer on your skin
In words I could not say but in the silence
Deep within my storm soaked soul
Leaving only paragraphs to dry slow
From fingertips that rose and fell against
The softer spellings of love

Low she howled
The glyphs she wrote on sky
And I watched your eyes move in time with shadows
Scattered across white walls
In a moan of unwritten tomes
Stretched along lips in a beg
Of being spoken out loud

I found then the quiet pools of you
And washed myself within the runnelled strands
Gaining again…

One more moment inside the thoughts of you
And one more refrain of silence
Sung in summer’s rain

Even if the forums were to hide the poets' names... I'd know your work... for it's not merely a matter of reading... it's experiencing your words. The above held me a willing captive... *S*
