Wind rushes 'pon my face And sprays curl through the eve While standing on the edge of time In faith I no more believe... Snow-tipped waters move with grace A gentle throbbing in my soul I lean upon a lighthouse rail Gazing on the cobalt shine below... I yearn to fly o'er the churning depths And capture diamonds strewn around To know the feel of an icy sheathe Blotting out the endless sound... But far beyond the perpetual thrash In the twinkle of morning sun I hear your laughter cross the sky And for a moment...we are one... With arms of breeze you carry me Past Forever's granite stone To rest on waters lined in light And by Heaven's breath be blown. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Beautiful poem Krista! Especially so knowing the source of inspiration for this one. Dark begining and a wonderful, rising ending.. loved it much! Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

Your words flow so beautifully in this Krista ... superb descriptions, and what a lovely final line: "And by Heaven's breath be blown." Wonderful! Best wishes, /Kit |

I yearn to fly o'er the churning depths And capture diamonds strewn around To know the feel of an icy sheathe Blotting out the endless sound... But far beyond the perpetual thrash In the twinkle of morning sun I hear your laughter cross the sky And for a moment...we are one... I love where your poetry takes me each and everytime. Beautifully written and hauntingly so at that. |

I think I'd like to hang out at your wastebasket to get the stuff you throw away...you always write great stuff...I could use some of your castoffs! |
