{For Karilea –  just because}


~~**~~
She is the mountain when she wakes
the darkness of tongue
she wanders the ruins of things--
of angels and ghosts, of human  heart

                 who will listen, who will know


there is a moment
when waiting becomes
the stillness of  dreams

a reminder connected
to voice

here, here

there is desire

I hear you

             You the rain at the edge --  
speak     and make your detail
holy


              let the water rush over you --
think of the world as love

naked,  pure
grace,  strength

let   the storm of your years
bind you --

even in weakness there is beauty

&remember   touch the smoke of moon
suspended between
whisper and faith


even if the sky is falling

          again dream

and show them change


befriend your memory
in front of you


&let    all stillness move onward

untouched
~~**~~

Thank you, for always showing your heart...




In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art

First? You need to warn me...
and then you need to go out
and buy stock in Kleenex.

Lauren? Thank you for being one of the mountains that entice me to climb...

This is wonderful, and you'll need to check your e-mail!

Thank you CT for bumping...I missed this.
