Can you see past the river where the torn ground spits out the sound
that eases doubt,  and tremble of leaves is only fear, and perhaps deer,
a place unnamed where one sits and talks to the start?

It would appear that no one is here to listen to heart
that fills up each day with high octane and roars around the glitter
pushing aside the chaos until there is road that takes the lonely away from day.

The banter of lips are torn from touching heat so often, until blistered
they part and drink from this place where beginning is so cool
and the wash of life catches a callus that came from too much fool.

Too much filling up and letting out and filling again rubbed in
and all that is left is to be here taking a breath and maybe asking a question
and listening as the sky quiets and the trees stop tremble,
             to the heart.

Beautiful writing...just beautiful...
Your friend is fortunate indeed.

Oh my...Martie...you KNOW I feel this one...

"It would appear that no one is here to listen to heart
that fills up each day with high octane and roars around the glitter
pushing aside the chaos until there is road that takes the lonely away from day."

This reached in and grabbed my heart...I know this one...
So glad you reposted it.

Love and hugs, my friend..

Martie....:-)
I often visit the place of "start"
where the "tremble of leaves is only fear, and perhaps deer" it seems that maybe you feel the presence of God in these places as this Pantheist does? Excellent poetry as always......ice

God, Martie, how do you do this?

tremble of leaves is only fear, and perhaps deer,
a place unnamed where one sits and talks to the start?

what we just dont see or wish to . . .
amazing writing
