Awakening

A pewter pitcher is hovering over the mountain
pouring out frore that melts in the crease of the sun’s awakening

Mention the last star in wink-out as it unshutters a window
to see how time moves
and  you will briefly see a hand waiting
waiting to catch the fall of night

Stretching grass dew rich and now marked with footprints
escapes the stretch of light briefly
and is barefooted in romp with shadow
waiting for warm sponge of air release
wanting the crackle of hot finger rub against each delicate rib

I hear the wink in the crow’s laughter and the answer
from ancient words opening where someone waits
to feel the heft still frozen
to melt it in the crease of awakening

I like this image Martie. . . as if awakening into a dream, rather than from one. . .

wonderful!!

It's just pointless to ask you to quit writing so well, isn't it?  Ah well, my luck!

======================================

Im putting my hand out to catch this poem.
you write SO COOL!!!!!!
Only you could paint a rain cloud into a pewter pitcher with your words.
that second verse is poetic gold!!


waiting to catch the fall of night

how lovely is that!!

We wish ourselves beautiful ... and cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ... but the fall from the height.

Poetess~
Who art thou ?
From whence doth thou cometh ?
Thee walketh through fields of word-flowers
plucking them at will ...
arranging them in bouquets that are fragrant with the nectar from gardens of another world~

Poetess ... who art thou ?

Martie,
You grow the strangest flowers. But how beautiful they are.
