Arch The imprints of your feet, Bare… Reside with me now Here by the bank Still embedded, Pressed deep and filled With the waters of time Footfalls, waxen and molded Clay models of your spirit Fleeting . . . And diminishing downstream I recall the day you stood knee deep Half-hidden by the rushes The damsel flies zig- zagging, Stitching you into the horizon As you waded Clamping toes and slipping heels Around moss and rock; Leaning here and there Laughing And catching yourself The Sun Painting you with fingers In the colors of passion You lifted your gown. A flimsy, second-hand raiment Worn only to satisfy onlookers, And wound it Crumpled in your hands Dripping and superfluous Turning slightly, flashing the fire Of that smile Your eyes So very alive… And that Is where I am this day Awakened By splashing footsteps And the onset of Autumn. Running my fingers Along the bottom of your feet Tracing the textures Fossilized by the storm. |

Ed and Susie duet -- each a joy to read, though in very different ways....and together, it's guaranteed to be a treat. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Good lord! I feel like I've won something! The wonderful replies are most appreciated. (And, of course, I'll defer them all to Susie. (She did write nearly the whole of it.)). Yep! It's just like finding a winning ticket someone else paid for. *smile* Ed |

Now Wranx...you're supposed to do what I always do...If ya write a poem with another, you should always wait and see how it's accepted...if it's really well taken, then ya say, "Oh yea, that's the part I wrote...if it's not well accepted..ya say: "oh, I told her we shouldn't put that part in?"....and...a littlewing/wranx joint?....where is that grown?...never tried that kind before...always willing though?...and, last but not least...yall done good here...you're both very talented.. |

Words flow so beautifully between you two and always have.. Two talents that balance each other so perfectly.  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
