Calling from the rafters, its head spun around falling on night meals, as a door mice abound wait at corner lamp post..a magic birth to announce mice scurry cross streets for fear something will pounce. Homeless fill doorways in carton covered furnishings a man meets a boy who asks for reasons for living; he asks the boy to write about the city where he lives and is reticent to communicate any answer he can give. People talk, answers are shot in other dimensions talents are dropped in blankets, wizards won't mention; at the 5 and 10 , my Mom said I was bought youth grows, hungry minds fill with thoughts. Frustrations of youth meets everyday needs of doorway residents man has always been unable to answer clearly..and is hesitant; wonderous tabby marks an intersection of intrigue victims of the daily world witness new leagues.

 (sigh) Oh artin, this is so very provoking, I too feel that ourselves can always be the pray to ourselves and we must always have those legs to run for cover when we need it and trust ourselves as the sparrows we are to fly away with wind beneath our wings! (big hugggsssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
