Back Before Begun The breeze is coming from the south sand spit born in the rip curl of a mound of deep green the sway of current’s timed to perfect marriage of curled salty lip and illumination of moon sheen The screen door openly accepts the bouquet the human color that mixes asphalt and cement with so many little miracles it finds along the way like grass new mown mixed with lily’s umber scent If reverie was given to becoming more than thought the sounds of summer afternoons would surely play a part in pouring out the memory of hands across time’s field where the little girl of me in the ocean found her heart The patterns in the sand from feet dancing on the dune fragrant ice plant memory and wink of sand crabs dive while sitting here by open door I even hear well tuned cacophony of seagull sounds as time becomes alive I cannot assign a number to the cherishing I’ve done the wrapping of my feelings around the joy and pain while in my little wooden boat back before begun but I keep an open envelope to fill with my explain In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Loved the title...and I think we all need to carry that "envelope" with us. You are a delight to read, Martie. I remain, of course, your fan!  |

the sway of current’s timed to perfect marriage of curled salty lip and illumination of moon sheen ========================== If reverie was given to becoming more then thought the sounds of summer afternoons would surely play a part in pouring out the memory of hands across time’s field where the little girl of me in the ocean found her heart ========================= I cannot assign number to the cherishing I’ve done the wrapping of my feelings around the joy and pain while in my little wooden boat back before begun but I keep an open envelope to fill with my explain ============================ I dont know which to worship first here... the imagery or the rhyme done divine... not to mention those poetic phrases and metaphors that you wrap around us in delight. I personally cant wait to read the next explain you pull from that poetic envelope open mind of yours needless to say I loved this  the poet too  me Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom |

What more is there to say to you Martie than this was sheer poetic perfection, absolutely marvelous images once again. You held me with a feeling of utter involvement (hands on chin) second read type poetry, ending with a sigh of satisfaction ~*If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all*~ hmmm...they were smart whomever said that! |

Whether you do it in free-verse or in rhyme as supreme as this, you always strecth the thoughts across our eyes with an amazing beauty and talent that few will ever be able to touch. Beautiful imagery and exquisite flow in this my dear friend. It is always a treat to end my day in the blue pages with one of yours and I do so love treating myself. |
