Along the margins of sand before gravel begins to rough the ends of toes or ache the soul she lays lapping at songs heard only to her ears still she swallows them after tripping words upon the tip of tongue and capturing the way they taste of cinnamon or the round soft of fat as lays upon the palette as an aftertaste when the sun comes sad to some but on others laughs softly to ripple on fractals of light reflected by water to lay warm the river sings in hymns and psalms to her who once waited here hair pulled up so neck can breathe, skin pinked with blush of sun and I strain to hear the sighs that might come were I able to touch with my soft words though they stutter along more the stones as roll in a rage of water than the light subtle bend of hers when they find purchase on a page or in the heart I watch the margins now, to see her words and listen for how it could have been if this a thought of heaven be river bound and words had come to me |

Cpat, Glad I popped in on this one, your words transported me to a summer day waterside and a girl from long ago. Old memories indeed. Doc |

Your writes are always an enjoyable way to spend a few moments away from reality... adn this is absolutely no exception. Well done, sir Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE |

I know I can't grow up to write like you but yet, a dream is a dream and in some other world and word I may, if I might, come true. |

Ms. Sun, No one should wish to write like I do...especially not when their own talent far exceeds the meager threads I offer here.. my thanks for the kind words and your eyes on this. |

your words do many things Cpat Hair but I am not convinced "stutter along" is one of them these words flowed along my spine and closed my eyes gently |

Lady.... you're kind with your words ma'am, and I thank you. As for stuttering, well to me they lack the true fluidity of ones well spoken. You're generous with your comment.............. thanks again ma'am |
