In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2003-12-30 02:40 PM



{The music of your          heart
                      pulls water from my eyes}



              tracing       butterfly wings  
along a path that only you        traveled

I     awake and touch--
                 count the raindrops

         breathe you in--

              Wearing     illusions of water      reflecting
that helpless moon
still hanging

I   stand      a l o n e

as tides      recede from shores
        laying           new stones
from the ocean's       mind

I touched you--
before I knew--
I read your words--         became re
al    

             whisper upon my ears,
from  your    lips          {once more}

life

after rain

{Reposted by 'special request'}

This morning theres a calm I cant explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on

The poets are speaking to me today with such wisdom.  Greeneyes, I heard your message loud and clear and have taken it to my heart, using your wisdom as a shield.  I don't know if I make any sense to you...but, my dear lady, you made all the sense in the world to me.

A perfect write at a perfect time.
