Sleeping With the Garden God Into tendril I eclipse and more And lit to fond with color blue adorn The sky a dye of time and also magic Beaming with bees I lay down with romantic Close my eyes now into slivered moon I’ll untie each celestial ribbon soon While night and shadows hold me in my sleep Knowing we are only in a prison when we keep Our feet from feeling earth as opening gate Into the pulse of mighty music’s till A song from bless of meadow’s lift and still The stroke of air is changed within this place And breathing is the beat within the sound Where peace distributes moisture to the glade And I pressed to the garden god am made With the love made sweet in time ecstatic I'll cover each bulb to cool in time elastic They'll open green and graceful Colors blooming from the dirt The wonder of this pleasure is This birthing does not hurt [This message has been edited by Martie (03-28-2004 09:18 PM).] |

How beautiful your garden grows... just as lovely as the one who left behind these seeds of thought. |

Yes Martie..Karilea is right, how beautiful your garden grows. This is a keeper  btw... I love your "pretty" Maree  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

"After coupling with my midnight garden god Each bulb is covered cool in softened sod To open green and graceful Colors blooming from the dirt The wonder of this pleasure is This birthing does not hurt" How beautiful, how soft and tender you pen your words. Very very much enjoyed the read Martie. There is magic in your pen.  ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~The breeze that kissed you on the face, |

"After coupling with my midnight garden god Each bulb is covered cool in softened sod To open green and graceful Colors blooming from the dirt The wonder of this pleasure is This birthing does not hurt" Are you saying I can "sleep" my way to a better garden Martie?? Geez...all this time I've been using Miracle-Gro.  |

This is softly reminiscent of spring coming. Lovely work. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Knowing we are only in a prison when we keep Our feet from feeling earth as opening gate Into the pulse of mighty music’s till A song from bless of meadow’s lift and still Such beauty comes from a heart filled with light and love, dear Martie. Love, Margherita |
