Anywhere Home Simple reflection in pale drip of morning breathing liquid air just opening drawer of sun, a touch of finger warm to cheek, the feel of kiss on tangled morning hair. Blue afternoon, warm to postman friendly feet, twisting air around a neighborhood with freshly out of school kids of summer. Once I thought to make complete the picket fence you found we’d need a mailbox of wood, hand painted and with certainty, our name. But no, just the quiet steady place of you where I am traced through years, a slipped cotton pale shoulder of me with your warm breath there is anywhere that we are. |

Simple reflection in pale drip of morning breathing liquid air just opening drawer of sun, a touch of finger warm to cheek, the feel of kiss on tangled morning hair. ============================= just the quiet steady place of you where I am traced through years, a slipped cotton pale shoulder of me with your warm breath there is anywhere that we are. ============================= you just took the old cliche.."home is where the heart is"... and dressed it in the warm of a summer morn and gave it a new breath of life in your turn of phrase. Poetry is where your pen is  Something about the morning inspires you in such a special way ( recalling silk lined) |

Martie, This is so graceful and beautiful. So serene. You almost make it sound like kids being out of school for the summer is a good thing. LOL. Dawn |

"Once I thought to make complete the picket fence you found we’d need a mailbox of wood, hand painted and with certainty, our name."  (smiles) Oh Martie, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, yes, just the presence, every laugh, every cry, every sigh is all we need to feel right at home and you show this place so very well! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, 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..." |

So does this mean that I am home once again??? Sure feels that way when I read one of your works. Excellent phrasing and of course no one takes the simplicity at hand and adds the elegance the way you do in your superb free-verse. Excellent and just what I needed to come back to. |

If I tried to pick a favorite line, I'd be copying the entire poem... what a delicate painting of peace and contentment and "rightness" with each other. *S* |
