Within the holy tome of breath
open to the sky's watch,
the dropping-down stars
consort with the bubblegum
and comic books of my old belief.

Under this cloth of pink air,
who listens as I dream,
beating my thoughts into words,
while not even birds awake?

Time takes me forward
as I come screeching back,
my talons whipping clouds into rain
and my innocent eyes alive.

Fragile, like a leaf the paper tears,
darned to the fabric of time
with ancient, wizened, invisible hands
that gather pages I will write, new.

I know this poem.

I love when I read something new that is familiar and you do that to me alot.

(I just hate when this happens in a cold sweat.)

My sweet Marite! You do have a way of isolating those indefinable moments!

and check your e mail!

You made me remember just now, the dream
I had last evening...I will have to share
it with you...it was one of those that
for all of its curious kookiness, I know
you will understand it...

I think.  

You made me smell the bubblegum sky...

Martie, you certainly do have a poetic way with words!

"Under this cloth of pink air,
who listens as I dream,
beating my thoughts into words,
while not even birds awake?"

Smiling here and nodding with understanding.

You are so talented, Ms Flowers!

Loving hug,
Linda

an interesting 'penning!'

This is especially fine!:

"Fragile, like a leaf the paper tears,
darned to the fabric of time
with ancient, wizened, invisible hands
that gather pages I will write..."

applause!

Dear Martie,
Thank you for this. So dreamlike in its' quality, yet easily transferred to the waking world. A talent you have portrayed
uncountable times.

I'm with Karen on this one... You do have a way with inconspicuous moments.
