On poetry I stay my morning, waiting whisper of a word or two, anticipating a thought completing, unadorned sunlight hair delighting in the warm. I feel across the day a touch of you, like glue on skin you stay within my whim and even brush of careless thought cannot dislodge the real so brought. Don’t tell me past this day a song, for now is where I want to stay wrapped in cotton warm of door opening into morning store. Delight is found in simple lifting places Where air and song can meet and mingle graces And pond in moss with orange fish kiss of air Can open heart and take away despair Bring me tea and pick an orange of breakfast. then meet me on the bench beneath the tree, wrapped in morning glories fragile steadfast we’ll drink this piece of wonderful that’s free. |

Once again such wonderful scenes painted by your pen!! "Bring me tea and pick an orange of breakfast. then meet me on the bench beneath the tree, wrapped in morning glories fragile steadfast we’ll drink this piece of wonderful that’s free." I'll bring some real fine Earl Grey with me! Hope that's OK! |

Interloper--Sometimes the place you long for, is no further then your back door. Eric--Earl Grey is way okay, as long as long as your lyric voice comes with it. Dave--I think we both live in the state of mind...thanks, my friend. Sy--but, I am not a spider...just an earth lover. Always love your replies! Jimmy--sure, you can come with me, it's in my back yard...but something about the word "sometimes" bothers me. |

"Delight is found in simple lifting places Where air and song can meet and mingle graces And pond in moss with orange fish kiss of air Can open heart and take away despair"  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, this painted such a beautiful children's book painting in my head, sweet friend, what could be more lovely than spending a day with your loved ones in the glens or valleys and feasting together with nature peacefully? (kiss on cheek) This is breathtaking, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I always know a treat waits for me, just beyond the click on your name. *S* But the tranquility of your morning is is just what I needed this afternoon. *S* Beautiful! |

"Sometimes" is the only word I can gracefully use in context with "dishes" and "laundry" as I get this rash, you see, when I do too much of either...cooking now - I do that on a regular basis (I'm chief cook around the house) - daily, in fact. jwesley |

Gentle Spirit--Some may not fine it such, but for me...yes. You saw my love there. Nancy--I think we all have our own special, magic places. I'm glad you liked mine. Startime--So glad to see you here! Noah--A child would love it...and she will when she gets a bit older (my grandaughter)..thanks! Suthern--If I brought some tranquility to your afternoon, then I'm happy! Lyra--as are yours, and your replies! Jimmy--A cook is good...yup! |

And as the flowers bloom over the field of freshness.. And the morning bright releases the dew of cover. So writes the peaceful and relaxing words of our resident wordsmith... Thanx Martie.. BUMP... |
