With love because time is too short not to
be opening the door where there’s more

see how it grows    color and song is all along
sidewalks crunch the step and sing
letting the holding go from the trees you see
a carpet is so made from time this way

And all the pretty pieces become strong
touching the napkin to the lips drip with a song  
and more adore is understood
with color opportunity and aware
I am sitting in the middle of this art with my heart
and because I can     I share

You share wonderfully and with open heart always.  One day we will have to crunch some sidewalks together barefoot and watch as the colors become our toes.  Wonderful write my sweet friend.

I too wish to share your sidewalk one day Martie.  This was so heartwarming.

Yes, because you can dear Martie...
This is SO beautiful!!

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

I am sitting in the middle of this art with my heart
==================================

you are poetry my dear....
and we love the vision of your art.

Poetry is emotion put into measure.
The emotion comes by nature ...
but the measure is acquired by art.

The song of time is too precious not to share....and the colors of love...they speak for themselves, and it's a sonnet.

Share them you do, and we're the lucky ones who sometimes find a portion of them here.

To you is given the sight to see what others do not...and to share it.  Well done.  Ken
