There’s a chill in the air tonight and it’s taking me past the moon in the space between the milky way and the darkness of my room It holds me there on darkened plane against a breath so clear that I can feel the silken touch of millions of loving years The place is pealed by laughter and glittered by lullaby and it rocks a memories cradle and it drinks the hurt from sigh It is filled with music’s silence and the peace of holding hands the calm of ocean floating and the strength of a golden band There’s a light in the air tonight and the path it takes is clear its way is starlit dreaming that has turned away dark fear There’s a chill in the air tonight and it’s taking me past the moon in the space between the milky way and the darkness of my room ---- 11-01 |

you touched on my very favorite thang. (somehow that just sounded bad, huh?)  but you KNOW what I mean---it's always the silences that speak to me loudest. (and a wonderful happy pic of you too!) You remain the Queen of Verse, Martie.  |

Wonderfully written, dear Martie. Even though it is chilly, there is this touch of infinite which is comforting. Love, Margherita  |

This seemed comfortably familiar... thank you Martie, for sharing this treasure once again. As before, I wanted to capture the special parts of the poem... and the whole of it cannot be broken.  |

Martie A most excellent poem....:-) Enjoyable in general though in particular, this stanza jumped out at me right off the page... and gave my mind an kiss and a hug. "The place is pealed by laughter and glittered by lullaby and it rocks a memories cradle and it drinks the hurt from sigh" << |

The place is pealed by laughter and glittered by lullaby and it rocks a memories cradle and it drinks the hurt from sigh It is filled with music’s silence and the peace of holding hands the calm of ocean floating and the strength of a golden band Definitely a place worth finding... even if we can only visit and yearn to return. *S* Beautiful work! |

As always, Martie, very lovely! This has a wonderful ethereal quality to it. My favorite stanza is: The place is pealed by laughter and glittered by lullaby and it rocks a memories cradle and it drinks the hurt from sigh Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
