My dreams wrote a poem Flowed across the page with my heart pen That wept tides taking sand into jungle water Where creatures graceful dancing did And others darted fast within I dreamed the soft rocks of hands were warm And I lay them on my back to bake And made play in holes that filled themselves With toes digging cool wet release I wrote a story into words that told me How I ended and the beginning made me cry And all the while I listened out the open window For the song of whispered night Pleasing this lush pillowed head of disrepair I dreamed a lover made of words And words made of shells and small stones All strung together necking or falling from silken tether Touching me places no one ever touched I wrote a poem in my dreams And tried to capture it in morning glance For it left within me a place still warm and wounded By the kiss of fragile tapestry’s good night |

I dreamed a lover made of words And words made of shells and small stones All strung together necking or falling from silken tether Touching me places no one ever touched I wrote a poem in my dreams And tried to capture it in morning glance For it left within me a place still warm and wounded By the kiss of fragile tapestry’s good night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ohmygosh Martie! This is simply incredible writing... Your writing touches a place inside of me that no one else has touched. ~Morning Hugs~ |

I wrote a story into words that told me How I ended and the beginning made me cry And all the while I listened out the open window For the song of whispered night Pleasing this lush pillowed head of disrepair I dreamed a lover made of words And words made of shells and small stones All strung together necking or falling from silken tether Touching me places no one ever touched ================================ quote: That my dear, is understatment ... YES ... you did....you ALWAYS do. this is AWESOME...but then so is the poet.  Now for me some words come easy |

"I wrote a poem in my dreams And tried to capture it in morning glance For it left within me a place still warm and wounded By the kiss of fragile tapestry’s good night"   (smiles) WOW!!! Oh my gosh, I know this feeling so so well, dreaming is my favorite part of the day always and I always feel so happy when I dream and when I wake up, I just want to capture that like a little boy catching fireflies in a jar and write it out so I can always keep my dreams of Joanna and other wonderful things! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Martie, What could be more ephemeral than the dream, upon awakening? I can rarely catch one in my net, before it so desperately winks out. I think that dreams want to be remembered, but we are afraid of them. Thanks for this one, Martie e "As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it."

Marti darling girl Ohhhhhhh how I love this piece of yours it has style it has grace it flows across the page with perfection. Its timing is excellent, as are the words Thank you darling heart this is exquisite, and I know you’re going to say YOU always say that but that’s because you always write so beautifully and so well.

When I feel chills tingling my spine and raising the hairs on my arms and I know I'm sitting in the middle of a hot, humid city, I'm in the midst of a Martie-miracle. *S* This is beautiful, dear poet... keep dreaming! *S* |

Martie you certainly had a dream alright, and I wondered does your subconscious mind take requests? I would love to hear about the flowers that are in bloom down there now as ours are not quite up yet and I am getting antsy. Superb writing, but then it always is  Imagination is more important that knowledge |
