Above

Foreboding tea steeped cotton shroud
Break free the morn in dabbling sheer
With free form stroke of pallet proud
True blue these arts of will to hear

I know no wiccan ways

The time has come for colors bold
Break free the morn of dark and gray
With breath to bear the rainbow hold
True essence of our hearts to say

I sing no temptress songs

Without you there is dark and dim
Break free the moments crimson pinch
With every thought to deepen in
True sun this time of yellowed flinch

I cannot sprinkle dreams with pine

Forever green in hues demure
Break free the mum of inner fight
With warm regard and soft allure
True blue to violet bends the light

I do not take against your will

The arch of love to bend each hill
Break free the narrow colder road
With glee form stroke sent softer still
True grows in worth a love rain bowed

Below
I
Stir

(smiles) Yay!!! Oh my gosh, your gorgeous words always make me smile, I love rainbows so so much and have been blessed to see double rainbows sometimes too and them bleed together, it makes me think of God and Shekinah's smiles together! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

The entire poem is beautiful, and deeply colored.

Yes,  this deserves an additional read or
two or three...each bringing to light yet
another thought of the feel within the
lines...so soft,  yet so alluring...

Loved the many hues in this. Artistically painted imagery, which will blend with my other favorites.
Thank you.

This one I'm keeping.  Loved every stanza and the wonderful use of imagery.

the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Wonderful write
