Ancient Songs Clover above moody dark moss Listen love is two geese rippled Ducklings gaggle next to vultures hunch of nonchalance Sky silt cloaks the tender hills water they ask their voices are brittle the gathering children are not listening Hear ancient songs like rocking mothers the lapping water strokes inner skin whispers watch me ride the hump of me I am the breath of earth I laugh in wings across reflection You cannot disturb me with your rippling shadow I am grace you are transparent your noise evaporates into the hole in sky while I hold the moon |

  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, I thought of the full moon reading this as the stars dusted the skies with the whispers you filled in these words! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is timeless! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hear ancient songs like rocking mothers the lapping water strokes inner skin whispers watch me ride the hump of me I am the breath of earth I laugh in wings across reflection You cannot disturb me with your rippling shadow I am grace you are transparent your noise evaporates into the hole in sky while I hold the moon ============================== and ya hang the moon too.  Martie-girl this is such a cool poem!! Love the mix of images and urgency to capture the moment of emotions. very cool indeed! How long can a girl be haunted by you ... |

In this I see the hole in the cave where hearts live to sing songs of old times the ledge of trespass juts out like stepping stones leading us to you |
