Listening to every heart

0 posted 2003-10-26 04:21 PM





It is true, then ~

I fit my design
and sign
and shall not resign
these facts to fate
but revel in
the unveiling of
blueness

that hottest part
of the fire

not seen for the reds
yellows nor
even for whitest
part

that bit of blue that comes
from within the flame

that which becomes the
passionate, most intense
emotion
leaving embers
of belief
behind.

Would you?

Could you reach in
to touch the blue
as it is unveiled
to you?

Taught as a child that
fire burns

and seeing only that
which one
sees,

flesh, bone,
desire?

Would then come the fire?

Would you revel in the
unveil of the
blue?

Can you stare at the flame
and go away
without the
imprint
still on your mind

behind your eyes

feeling the warm?

In the blue, then,
that is where
I reside

look carefully…

I am there…

And may the echo of your words resound and be heard.  Good God, Karilea.  You have no idea what these words spoke to me!

So wonderful!

I saw the smoke from this fire all the way over here Kari!  Damn, I could've cut and pasted the whole poem!  String together a whole lot of impressive adjectives here and there will still be a few more that I could add...

it has blown in the past with
its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last

You were expecting me right?
How could a moth NOT see this one...
not feel this one...

moth anthem baby.....moth anthem.....

(IWIHWT)

You're the color of the sky reflected in each store-front window pane ...
You're the whispering and the sighing of my tires in the rain.

makes me think of when you stare at a flame and you can't seem to look at anything else...you become hypnotized.
