things
that once
belonged to us
they own vision
in our minds
things
that sing
in spite of us
second
only
to sublime--
gray-
across
the network
stretch
in a lilting
frame of door
a tiny pull
of a brassfull
with a peeling
tongue
to score.

"Let the lead
ring out the dead;
roll red carpet
'cross the floor.
Let every
single
step
instead
mean--someone's
coming
back
for more..."

"Let the children pray", I say.

"Let the children find the way."

Three--she tosses beads to square--

then...she hopped away.

You always write in ways that leave a person (well, err, me at least) thinking, and wanting more but afraid, because more would just be too much. Ahh I can't rxplain it, it's late, I need sleep.
What I meannn is, that this is really good.

It sounds like the game hopscotch to me...at least that's what we call it here in Ontario. I never understood it, but yearned so much to learn. I think I just have.

In Your Poetic Mind

in awe!

The sound of silence calls,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream
The echo of our souls meet
