When was it I learned This day was not just colored egg All full of children Was when the song deep tuned became like sun And I listened to angel voice The song a hymn soft hummed I know the power that reverence brings To life just a piece of clinging vine A soft float of moss across the top of water The true touch of listening wind From a place where it matters yes And song fills the emerald sky Deep in cave this lullaby does snuff out dark And turn beleaguered into start Each time a baby breathes And death captures another’s last I wonder at the majesty of this part This tiny finger with ridges getting older Still and all love keeps this pattern on my wall Where there is music majesty A pattern imprinted just like candle upon the dark Though hunters grab my meaning And into doubt I fall with wealth of words impart Still I sing this day a blessing for the green of this That pulls me into knowing how with beauty Time is still full and always captured Even when the drowning day is done and dreams dare I take a blessed breath of peace and I am there. --- from Easter-02 |

And this was a day of baby hold, and loving croons of long held tunes... this was a day of reflect in light, and hug so tight, then dreams at night... Yes, dear, I remember... and bless your heart for the repost Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? |

I know the power that reverence brings To life just a piece of clinging vine A soft float of moss across the top of water The true touch of listening wind From a place where it matters yes And song fills the emerald sky Deep in cave this lullaby does snuff out dark And turn beleaguered into start Each time a baby breathes And death captures another’s last I wonder at the majesty of this part This tiny finger with ridges getting older Still and all love keeps this pattern on my wall Where there is music majesty A pattern imprinted just like candle upon the dark Though hunters grab my meaning And into doubt I fall with wealth of words impart ============================== there are days when I just need to read poetry ... to inhale it so that I may breathe...your versed breezes are like moth oxygen.  Ocean wrapped around the sun |

Martie, thank you for this. You bring such love and understanding to everything you write, that it's hard to imagine a lighter, clearer voice to sing us these feelings. Think I've said before that you're a marvel -- this is another proof. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Martie, this is beautiful, sweet friend, this made me cry as I believe there is no sound more beautiful than a child breathing in peace and joy and laughing in delight! (kiss on cheek) I cry every Easter morning when I hear the children smiling and giggling, God Bless You, 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..." |

Martie, I am so glad that you reposted this beautiful Easter poem. It is good when we learn that this beautiful day of celebration is more than just hunting colored eggs and Peter Cottontail. I also love to see things through your words. Hugs, Ethel |

I know the power that reverence brings Yup... like when I read your work. *S* For as much as I'm in awe of your eyes that miss nothing, I'm also humbled by the heart that peeks from every word. This is just beautiful. *S* |

Still I sing this day a blessing for the green of this That pulls me into knowing how with beauty Time is still full and always captured Even when the drowning day is done and dreams dare I take a blessed breath of peace and I am there. this could stand alone..lovely as always hugs M |

OhSis~ 'Time is still full and always captured' And you always grab it and word-squeeze it for all it's worth (and then some)! BEAUTIMOUS ! *Huglets* from the ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
