Don’t talk to me of December
when the trees
oh the trees color me
the way I am brown and gold
and I fall still through the air
waiting for wind

The sky is melting
see how it passes the fold
and eases out the wrinkle
like time
swift the night falls

Sundown is like wings now
scraping the edge of the ocean
I can see it beginning the curl
and then darkness haunts the edge
and I wonder where the warm is
hear it slip and unfurl
sail into summer and strip the gauze
from nighttime’s cover and mirage

Sing me spring
skip February this year
lay me across a desert mound
I’ll not breathe until you wrap with web the storm
then glove and pen erect
whisper midnight into warm

Warm is where you find it.... it's the gold of emotions in a way, since the good ones come from it. Find some...if not today, then tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then the day after...seek, and...

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, feel the colors, feel the breeze, and let yourself get immersed from there into where all the beauty rests! (sigh) I love this, sweet friend, you are a true loving spirit to all, 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!

I don't know how you do it ...
but my heart is so pleased that you do~

This is so lovely, Martie... wishing you a finding of the warm.
