And so she sets her heart upon the stillness of night meadows and half lit chimes, pealing to the sky, as gentle canyon songs sweep across her face and settle ‘pon her bones. She listens for those things that go bump in the night; salient as they are Tasting that moan in the dark, wondering… should she dance ‘neath the Banyan caressing its roots in prayer that they will grow into her own universal child rooted to the world? Beauty-Bounty spreading across open night fields coming in from sun washed yesterdays, joining in rite of passage that is life. And all the while the wonder, the sweet canyon songs, and things that go bump in the night, as she spreads her roots and caresses her lover, earth Janet K. Brennan - 2009 |

Janet, it seems that you are strong in your first three lines of all of your stanzas...the other lines pull in the strings and make a welcome gift. Welcome to Passions! Please, check your email for a Very Special Message! " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

A beautiful write. While reading this, I could hear Carlos Nakai's 'Canyon Trilogy' echoing your words. Think I'll play that CD tonight and read this again. Welcome to Passions. |

Thanks guys Yes, I do like to start strong and then weave beyond the first few lines of a stanza. I think if a poet can get the idea across in the first parat of the poem, the rest just falls into place as adornment. Not always, of course, but when necessary. Thanks for reading Jan |
