The Other    

she is sometimes so full of another color
like a season she searches true the minutes
capturing them as they slip sand and wash
into the wealth of the moon and more become

listen to the crashing of her tide
like forest at night in creep up with the leaves
waiting for the dew all crawl and rustle
she hears one grain of sand shift soft relief

she is wealth of moon and more a ramble
a tree stands with her in the tall of stretch
and scurry things twig her toe in walk along
and jam her sway along the way of best

light is such verve and frequently captured
by the chain that pulls her to design
the falling of the magic fills the porous
and brings her to a fast focus align

listen can you hear the winter coming
across the skin she feels it with her warm
and waits beneath the waning light of autumn
for a storm to nudge her dormant ions

WOW!

Absolutely beautiful imagery and metaphors.

I could get lost in lines like these... so very beautiful. *S*

As is your new picture... I love it! *S*

(smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, your gorgeous poetry always makes me smile as it murmurs all the symphonies of nature and the simple beauties of life, yay! (kiss on cheek) May winter comfort all the children like a tamed young fawn sipping from a creek, yay, 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,

God Martie
I saw so much here
not only a changing season
far far from it
My goodness
I saw someone traveling
withint those stars too
*smile*

I do love your picture
I dont think I told you that
on your last write
