There shall marshal roughed edges, haunting brisk winds patron
Blown in on a new season, a door opens to thriving seedlings taken shelter
Could there be more hope, more inspiration…more light?
Truly peeking from the frost lines of an endless tan…
Tantalizing spirits to be born again into the free of innocence
Sloughing off the peelings of a deadened hearted winter
But the sift of full bloom whispered to the forest floor
And rising yet again to peer so humbly at first…yet thirst calls
Beckon to the treetops to spit the buds of tomorrow to the sun
Like orange seeds from a child’s giggling smile
And grow…grow into the skies of finger paint and sponge
Cake yellow…sleepy eyed to sunsets of fullest mellow
Conjuring gems to sparkle in darkness of a spring night
A Huron’s flight…into the parchment of a new day
Sent away, the returning to be measured
Astonished

You carry with you a bag filled with images
and metaphors that I wish I had about half
of...Let's see, anything else I need to
mention?  Nope...astonished am I...

"Truly peeking from the frost lines of an endless tan…"
Interesting . . .
. . . a line that would not have occurred to me.

Kathleen~

'the sift of full bloom whispered to the forest floor'

And you heard it all, sweeping it into this beauty of a write~

Again ... you rise ... creme dela creme~

Kathleen~  

You are a poetess of everlasting images,
and truly a delight in every sense of the word.
