            She    

she is sometimes so full of another color
like a season she searches true the minutes
capturing them as they slip sand and wash
into the wealth of the moon and more become

listen to the crashing of her high tide
like forest at night in creep up with the leaves
waiting for the dew all crawl and rustle
she hears one grain of sand shift soft relief

she is wealth of moon and more a ramble
a tree stands with her in the tall of stretch
and scurry things twig her toe in walk along
and jam her sway along the way of best

light is such verve and frequently captured
by the chain that pulls her to design
the falling of the magic fills the chasm
and brings her to a fast focus align

listen can you hear the seasons changing
across her skin she feels it with her warm
and waits beneath the waning light of autumn
for a storm to nudge her dormant ions
-----
from time and change

So very ... "capturing", Martie.  I especially liked this:

"the falling of the magic fills the chasm
and brings her to a fast focus align"

but it's all lovely.

'listen to the crashing of her high tide

Okay .... such a magic Martiesque Moment~

I *sigh* at the sheer beauty of your thoughts~

What a poem to wake up to,
and to listen to...

I would suggest any reader,
read this one aloud, and feel
the touch of each syllable.

Yes, I can hear those things, see those things....but almost never except when you show them to me in the spirit braille of your words....then can detect, like reading with fingertips, what I can't detect on my own.

I've visited this poem at least a half-dozen times, since you posted it...and each time I've blessed you for sharing it.

Martie,
And so the seasons pass in ways we would not notice without the insight of our resident master wordsmith. I too have read this several times and am enamored by that which I am unable to do myself.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
