Loving-room These steps are magic that take me inside this open delicate room where our worn tapestry hangs splendid on the wall and the floor hears us and knows each placement’s sound for listening is learned and time creeps resonance into spaces that we do not frame until they are gone. This place where time is rearranged chimes in breathing pure tongue touched tenderness as we fasten the warmth and hang up all the measureless flow of words that pass between us soundless and serene and see the room expanding for all the openings are free and staying is a diaphanous graceful curve of us.

Not every living room is a loving room. Yours is beautiful, Martie... psst...is that a "worn" tapestry? |

Martie~ Your 'loving room' is beautiful. How I admire the way you decorate it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Oh, Martie, I love this one! It makes me feel like you have just described OUR loving-room - (I like how you put that, too), and the last two lines float on wings of joy. Exquisitely written. |

Martie: I guess that means I was an over-stuffed armchair in another life..  As always, a pleasure and leaves me feeling so peaceful..  HUSG |
