adieu, i say to north winds that howl like a youthful lover gossiping, fluted white curiosities like an anatomy professor taking driving lessons for it is not meaning...nor power but more so, a spiritual endowment believed... adieu, i say to white teeth of deceased laughing prowess of wrath truth bobs on the surface of autumn how very sweet of time how very sweet…. & the idea that will never die in the belly of meaning… fixing carriage wheels human spirit appeals with its own voice source of image, like a zen parable grabbing the hands of a circle with a song in front, this gentleman yawns realism, taking me like a bride adieu, to early scratches, now dissolved into roots of nature, where ten of nineteen pages are missing…spawning a tradition living days are the waking of a wayward crow patient spiders joins a warm path where woodlands reflect, turning…turning rowing on a sea of glass adieu, foolish wisdom of flesh contrary to a natural world the writers spawned of women incompetent matter dissolves, leading millions astray for what peeked out from a darkened veil imparts a blind eye ascribing authorship and radical grail like a beloved disciple who was “the secret” pronounced mystery like oldest commentaries of a sacred bond adieu, i say, adieu to gravity of organized crowds their mocking expressions of disapproval when light taps their shoulder, they are the forms of darkness adieu, oh yea, adieu…dieing is easy the hardest part comes whilst flesh hangs on in this world i’ll be saved from the earth in stones of all who understand adieu, manifestation of balance, adieu i will attain to the instance…to suffering to the least in eyes of others… adieu..adieu adieu |

"adieu, i say to north winds that howl" Whew! Thank goodness that "adieu" wasn't to us from you! As always, your illustrious words provoke thought! ~ Much thought! lol ~ May the winds in your life blow softly from the south.  Hugs with love, Linda |

LeeJ The northwinds have blown here too....left most of the neighborhood trees in the pool, and shingles on the roof now dot the walk. But I still love the wind!! Go figure! As always you see with such bright word color, that I need sunglasses to read.  |

Lee~ There are layers of thought in this brilliant penning that go far beyond the circling Spirit of the wind ... reminding me that you are *gifted* of many voices~ Keeping this one to read again and again~ I've got 'favorite' thoughts gleaned from this one ... but I'm going to tuck them quietly away to savor when my word-hunger strikes anew~ BEAUTIFUL !!! The all of it ... beautiful~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ Email - noles1@totcon.com |

So you sent them to ME? We had been calm, calm like a baby sleeping, until yesterday, when you wrote adieu, and let winter blow my way... smiling at you... keeping this! . " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

"truth bobs on the surface of autumn how very sweet of time how very sweet…. & the idea that will never die in the belly of meaning…" Those are definitely my favorite lines. Wow, I love this! I miss you! I hope all is well with you, it's great to be read you again. Always, Alyssa Hupomeno. |
