White Heat

This thought suggests not only light,
as when the sun smacks up against
the south side of the house in summer,
but powder soft, beguiling deep,
blocking downspouts,
as when a letter, pausing,
keeps unto itself
secrets.
The way of winter,
to seek and seek
the privacy
to sublimate.

Now why did this poem remind me of the wonderful warmth felt years ago when the sun would warm the side of the house and I would let my body soak it up. I felt I was soaking up your words and they were filling me with the warmth of yesterday and tomorrow. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you. **hugs**  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Ah, sun shines in different ways in the winter...standing in the extreme cold, carpeted by rhinestone snow...lifting one's face to the light, and feeling the rays penetrate the chill...

liking this Very Much...

Here I am treasure hunting again, and wondering how this poem was passed up after three responses. I loved this! Your images especially.  

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since
