I can feel it coming now Like a distant prairie wind Across the nape of afternoon In the drowning of a hymn Played like the chainsaw On a ribbon in a tree Touching to the tender Unarmed heart of me And I know that there is lightning And I feel the press of air I can smell the bliss turned angry And the opening act of flair Sing it to me baby Past the sky I feel the need For my restless legs are dancing In my arms your storm can feed [This message has been edited by Martie (09-23-2003 07:00 PM).] |

I could feel you here Martie, and yes, I feel so much the same things. I especially liked the press of air!!! Aww but time goes by so slowly, and remains so still~ |

"Sing it to me baby Pass the sky I feel the need For my restless legs are dancing In my arms your storm can feed" Some times I feel as though I could scoop Autumn up into my arms as well Martie. Beautiful write..hope you had a wonderful birthday. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

  (smiles) Awwwwwwwwww, you made me feel as though I could hold autumn, sweet friend, deep in your heart and imagination where the little girl in you will always sing, you can always make this happen if you believe! (kiss on cheek) May many golden, apple cider and pumpkin pie sweet blessings fill this season for you, sweet friend, 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 I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Aye, lass -- there should be more in your arms than a bundle of fallen leaves. And will be at the wave of your hand, I suspect. Happy autumn hugs to you, fair lady! |

I can feel it coming now Like a distant prairie wind I understand this well....never fail to be moved by one of yours, and that particular image carries such drama for me... You never fail to lift us up, never fail to give a new perspective. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

You express the elements and nature so well, especialy the onset of autumn encroching in on the end of summer. Thank you. jack Have you seen jack-in -the green he taps his cain on the ground and signals the snowdrops it's time to grow. |

Martie, this is soo good! It could be used in Webster’s, as the definition of poetry! It’s inspiring, stimulating, and even spiritual, all at the same time! You really are that gentle calm, smack dab in the eye, of the hurricane! I’m so glad to read you, once more! Richy |
