Ancient Songs Clover above moody dark moss Listen love is two geese rippled Ducklings gaggle next to vultures hunch of nonchalance Sky silt cloaks the tender hills water they ask their voices are brittle the gathering children are not listening Hear ancient songs like rocking mothers the lapping water strokes inner skin whispers watch me ride the hump of me I am the breath of earth I laugh in wings across reflection You cannot disturb me with your rippling shadow I am grace you are transparent your noise evaporates into the hole in sky while I hold the moon ---------- 5-02 I went back to this place today...and it is still and more, this. |

I am grace you are transparent your noise evaporates into the hole in sky Your writing is so fluid and filled with an awareness and the certainty of simply knowing, and being at peace with the world around you. Loved this Martie~ |

It's a sweet but ancient song.....I can't wait to see what the new one will be! To read them side by side, I'm thinking that will show new things, new facets of Martie I haven't seen before.... I've been waiting to comment until I saw the new one too, but just have to say how much I enjoyed this one. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

 (smiles) Yay, oh my gosh, I think they have been singing so much longer before my time, so may we all learn from the birds and the crickets and get to learn the songs they have long perfected! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a classic, 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 |

MartieSis~ 'Hear ancient songs like rocking mothers the lapping water strokes inner skin whispers watch me ride the hump of me I am the breath of earth I laugh in wings across reflection You cannot disturb me with your rippling shadow I am grace you are transparent your noise evaporates into the hole in sky while I hold the moon' Ancient Songs ... and you sing them SO WELL~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
