Straying Beyond the Pale In the quite backroom of a hundred small thoughts nestled cozy under feathers soft the answers and reasons are circled holding onto each other like the wind a tree and the dear heart light casts a glow of purity Digging delights the hand dirt crusted now with truths I see how easy it really is to build a garden out of stepping stones and just one small plant Listen how the coyote howls morning mixing birds into the air and stirring I fly across the delicate beginning of a new day intent on straying beyond the pale |

With the right plant....and the right stones....and the right hands planting....only then. I love this poem. It's such a beautiful picture of a single moment and the dimensions within it that no one but you could show us.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Smiles. Sounds like my kind of garden. I really like how you've expressed yourself here and, in the pale or beyond, I think that your poetry is very sound and engaging. God bless. -Bob |

MartieSis~ You at your palest, can and do, outshine us all~ 'a hundred small thoughts nestled cozy under feathers soft the answers and reasons are circled holding onto each other like the wind a tree' You ARE Martiesque in word-motion~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I love this, reminds me of me, first thing when I get up at 6, I open the backroom window that looks out on my backyard feeder and listen for the first hummer...they don't disappoint for the first ones wake up about the same time as me, and within minutes the chirping and fighting and feeding starts...and me I am listening, taking my bath...waiting for day to immerge beyond the pale .....great poem |

I especially like the image in the third stanza of this one, the coyote and the birds, and you. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

As I walk along the stones through the garden that has always been, great pleasure arises from the fragrance of the flower that is you. (((Martie))) |

 (smiles) Yay, this is such a beautifully upbeat and feel-good meditative release, dearest friend, you can indeed make a gorgeous garden with just one plant, as I have been trimming a new redwood bonzai tree with a tiny pebble garden and I always love fantasizing it as a microcosm for a fairy colony of sorts, yay! (giggles) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Going there by yourself? Safer that way and then you may not have to explain it.  |
