AwakeningAs tree lets go the crimson leaf release I must, this gasping grief and draw a breath, refreshed, of light that I may live past dark of night And fill my mind and still my heart and know the touch and feel the part of season's stir upon this earth the lullaby of beauty's birth. |

Claire~ A glitch in the system threw this one to the back pages .... I'm so pleased to have found it ... Tenderly felt melancholy. You do it so well. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I've really gotta thank Marge for pulling this one back from the abyss. Darn that glitch! But, it came back, and I was able to read and reel from the impact your words had on me....astounding work of craft! |

Sudhir, you are, indeed, the first, my friend, and how I appreciate your enthusiasm. Thank you, sincerely. Michael, thank you. I know you understand my motivation here, and I am grateful to you, for everything. Kit, thank you so much. You know, this piece actually did have a mind of its own as I wrote it, it seems. I merely put the words to paper. Sven, my friend, I thank you for ... just everything. Miss Marge, thank you for finding me! So glad to know you enjoyed this little verse. Liz, your response is lovely...and oh so true.. the earth has its own rhythmic respiration, to be sure. Thank you, my friend. Alicat, reading and reeling? Sorry 'bout that! Thank you for letting me know you liked this, and yes, how nice of Marge to notice it. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

O' muse afar, dark orchid of the night... such beauty flows from forth thy sorrow's bite. |
