Monday Monday trash truck heavy sky sounds muted by low cover birds with open beaks whisper to the trunks of trees waiting for the promises given as the sky cooled last Monday Monday soft with breathing sounds and crumpled sheets a head has left a mark on my pillow was it mine was it yours that dreamt you under trees just a shadow it seemed then the sand swallowed your words opened like a whale's mouth and took them before my ears could catch the word love Monday Monday seeps like tired bones on bare feet taking tip toes on hard wood floor fast so as not to catch the chill of waiting waiting against the trunk of strength for the upward turn of mouth of day |

(sigh) It does seem rainy days and Mondays can get so many peple down, sweet friend, it's actually been sunny and hot here today, but I know this feeling! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful poem, 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..." |
