The Warming by Degrees of Fishing The sun measures me each inch is yellow then green the sound is like rain as the ducks give water wing I see his shoulders slumped there over the wiggling body of a worm he struggles with this and gentles the hurt of hand for he’s catching the wonder of living again Close your pale eyes I think to him from my own harbor of lost youth let water’s gentle lapping be the sound of truth |

Two in a day, and each one better than the other.....Impossible? Nope, not when Martie's the one who wrote them. Your sight and your insight....each a thing of beauty. You ARE poetry. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
