Something About Light It is always feathers and turning shadows into something about light. I see it moving like the Morning Glory from the far side of destiny, tendrils of gold falling from an oval sky. It warms the slanting green chair, stops it from look so proper in its humph of cold wood, then melts across the pathway of cement into the room moving towards the crumple of sheets still indented by the naked night. I close my eyes and turn on the sky, wait for the fragrance of line dry to open doors and let out the danger of the dragging down fog, as the dog, warm and filled with barking, furs swiftly past my leg into the mocking bird’s song. Inside this room of bone and skin I awaken to the possibility of wing. yes, it is always feathers and flight and the changing way of shadows and something about light. -------- with thanks to Wranx for getting me thinking about light, and another special muse who inspired me to start.

Martie...I had to smile at the title... and drew in my breath at the song of your poem. I have often wanted to find words twined, just so...but you not only braided these so well, you added a scarlet ribbon. Library...  |

How could this poem not be written! You have such an eye for finding the uncommon within the common, and such a gift for leading us to that special vantagepoint from which we can see it too..... This is truly beautiful. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I close my eyes and turn on the sky, wait for the fragrance of line dry to open doors and let out the danger of the dragging down fog, as the dog, warm and filled with barking, furs swiftly past my leg into the mocking bird’s song. Lovely Martie as always. hugs, Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

as the dog, warm and filled with barking, furs swiftly past my leg into the mocking bird’s song. Such a delightful image... such a unique description... you make even the mundane magical. *S* |

something about morning has always been such an amazing muse for you ... this is yet another example...the personifi and imagery leaves me giddy... you are indeed "silk lined"  /pip/Forum50/HTML/000561.html Home is a feeling I buried in you ... I'm alright, I'm alright ... It only hurts when I breathe ... M.E. [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (03-25-2004 07:36 PM).] |

Martie - I read these poems of yours and my journey begins - you take me places I have never been but feel like I have been there before - you waft feelings and images over me that lead me on - this is just so great as are you!!! Paul |

"Inside this room of bone and skin I awaken to the possibility of wing. yes, it is always feathers and flight and the changing way of shadows and something about light." Martie, enjoyed the lovely poem; so real; and I especially liked the last stanza. I think we must be like plants or something (we need the sunlight). |

Impeccable Martie...to see the light through your eyes is amazing Dear friend  it's a keeper. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

A beautiful photography. Yes, literally "light writing" And if something I've written contributed to this, I am most flattered. |

It warms the slanting green chair, stops it from look so proper in its humph of cold wood, then melts across the pathway of cement into the room moving towards the crumple of sheets still indented by the naked night. this spoke volumns about change, and welcoming and melding into everything until all becomes so amazingly positive....with purpose...even in all our nakedness, we are still children who possess so much, if we'd only open to it... You are, and so vividly you walk...wonderful writing... |
