The Hills of Brea The meadow of yellow and green spring eyes a distance and hills to climb like soft enchant they curve do you see maybe all the way to me or the arms of the sea call loudly crashing into the bones of years smoothing the glass until it is a talisman that little girls pick up and hold and you can hear with ear pressed against the bench that time places on the path Parks and fences and a cow or two drift by and there is always a road into or away and some sweet piece of earth to stay meaning with a feather or flower to capture time spent with a season going quickly to summer spring spent sipped so slowly that one day when the brown hills return will they have that certain smile that remembers the way the mustard filled the pass and the green grass looked like a place where you could lay down and finally sleep with the dream that springtime brings The water rocks quietly in the fold certain rain will again drown the crease that moves with grace in only one direction to the sea like time in a basket turning gone emptying me into the depth of you |

Martie, you've transported me back to Brea with this, but way, way beyond what I recall of the reality of it as a place on Earth. You always manage to put a bit of this earth in higher realm. thank you for this write, which will gracefully rest in library |

"emptying me into the depth of you" ~ that is as close as two people can be. The whole poem spoke to my Irish soul, but this line was the clincher. Another graceful write from a poetess full of grace.  Linda |

Martie - your words wrap a blanket of images and feelings around me that draw me to places I never go to except with your words - Paul |

Martie, it is not usual that I miss any of your pieces of art, but this one slipped through my fingers, until an angel showed me the way, back, to the Brea... I know the area very well...*smiling* |
