All the "good folks" were at Sunday service
We chose to go fishing
with a basket of Emmas' homemade loaves
and a cheap bottle of "red"

I lay back among the lazy Lilies
admiring the stained glass reflections

We heard the bass tones rumbling
before we felt the need
We saw the cork a quiverin
shivering within our need

Yea..we heard the timbre's tumble
rumbling our needs be known
yea we saw the curtains tumble
down the esplanade...

The psalms of elation
Echoed down our valley,
up the hills
scaring up a soar of dove

After, i watched as she walked
into the water
and held her hands
out to her sides
standing

As a vibrant, golden,
representation of that poor
tortured soul so revered in town

Then fell back, with splash
into a baptism of "Self"

Take a golden bath and sing
and let you rejoice everything
and nothing else will be your ware

Singing hymns to that which was
Aiyeeeeee! came cry of the grieved
and moaning cast of the bereaved
and just another serpent's tongue
of hiss of wish when we were young


Singing Hymns of that which lives
and say that gods do not stare..
that where we are, is not a temple
that who we are, are not sacred
that what we think, is ours alone

"yes, all the "good" folks were at Sunday service

OH MAN!!!!!
this rocks and it rolls me....
very very cool write you two....

*skips out of room singing*.....  
"Oh people, look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a sea bird above you
Gliding in one place like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang on to that Gospel plow
When my life is over, I'm going to stand before the Father
But the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now


Rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe my fevered brow
Rock me on the water, maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how
Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
So rock me on the water
I'll get down to the sea somehow"

Jackson Browne
Rock Me on the Water

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Just popping in to say that Ed gets all the credit on this'n. I just tossed a few words in there, but it's his concept, his inspiration--and I'm still amazed at how he put this together.

gotta get a yeti!



Thanks all...and to wranx.

Ron? The funny(?) thing is, I now see parts to her that were unrealized before. Like peeling the onion of any other relationship.

At present, she's a bit....petulant. See what I mean? *slaps head* Duh!

I always enjoy reading duets to see if I can tell what was written by each poet. This one flows so smoothly there is NO way to tell. It's a wonderful blend of the both of you!
