and I was not a child
worshipping barefoot breezes
given to the sunrise
of her bornagain

she was new earth blush

her freedoms were a stardance
of midnight constellations
and forgiveness was a song
that I could only hum

I cupped the laughter blind

catching angel smoke in nets
white wisps the still center
around which the universe
wrapped the fragile of my dreams

she smiled daylight redemption

and clover was a summered prayer
kneeling in her meadows
whispering soft my sins
to slowsong altar calls

and I was not a child

and she was not a child
in the temples of deep August
low smolder embers
ask me how my soul burns

in pyres of blue-eyed sky

Holy. F.

This was miraculous,

I... I don't know what to say really.

If the world were as clever as you are,
powerful speeches would make the sky turn colors.

And every time it rained
the flowers would sway as one.

This is possibly my favorite poem to have come from piptalk.

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Well, dear Heather, Poetess!! I can't use Paul's kind of language can I, but I can say I agree with him?!

It makes me want to hug you and look into your eyes to search for the source of this beauty ...

Outstanding work!

Love,
Margherita

Paul~
I don't even know how to respond to such a beautiful comment! You warmed me and wet my eyes. Standing-on-my-tiptoes-hugs on their way to Minnesota...

Margherita~
To have a hug from you would tie everything up with a silver string! Deepest humble thanks to a lady that just opens her mouth and beauty pours out...

Kisses,
Heather
