Hands graced with
Motion -
As if words belonged to
Fingers and not lips
And not the
Tongue.
And once
Written -
There is only the yearning to be
Known, to be heard, to slip
Slow and long against the
Lips and tongue in a
Moment read
Aloud.
Now fingers are still and a
New grace has spoken.

"Will they listen?,
Am I worth their time?"

What a sensual way to consider the written word.  I never would have thought of this.

Eric,

I open your poetry knowing that I will be momentarily mesmerized.  And I am.

Your grace emerges always powerfully, dear Eric, from the depth of your soul.

Wonderful.

How true,  so very true words...such is
the satisfaction...from the words.
