In form like the sun’s rise before fall she dreams of love’s fire licking at sky and dances her heart, openly, unafraid, like a passionate gypsy on a hot summer’s night. “Come! Feel the burn of this energy!” she sings to no one and to everyone as her body in sync with involuntary action gyrates to the beat of mystical tunes. The air opens up like a fabled cave to the heat of desire and need of release until precious gold and sovereigns of old become useless tender to the sensitive. Clouds on the sidelines humbled by now grow brighter linings as their testimony and wait for the glance of downcast eyes like a woman afraid for the safety of life. The fire, the fire, one last flickering fire, forever burns love as a symbol of wealth when earth meets sky in explosive delight somewhere over there beyond her foresight. She’s a lady, a woman, an angel, you/me, imbued with love’s feel and in motion to be a second string bow to the masculine soul like sun is to sky when earth turns to fire! Helen / 29 January 2005 |

I was going to make a long comment but taking the time to read it. I think any long comment was more than covered. Brilliant. Dave |

Thank you all so much for the read and for commenting. I was expecting some reaction to ... "when the earth turns to fire" because not even I can understand that one. Yes, we are all everything and more. |
