Serenity and the Wind

Your green and blue is clean
like breathing something good to eat
I pull you in and let you out
hungry and alive within your art

And such a song of howl
you touch my wind chimes
listen   see the leaves all scatter
when you come near my skin
my ears  my heart
my very only love in air

How I’ve missed this ion rush
I didn’t know your absence
until I felt you present
isn’t that strange like life
a rage of insanity can bring the light
and everything in scatter run
comes down at last to that or this
a tremble humble lift
like I’ve begun some new adventure
screaming wild born new and red

Don’t leave me yet the transformation
won’t be complete until I fly
and I’m not ready yet
to die I must first live it all
and swirl this touching breathing
battle with the surface  
to find the stars resort within
my very own majesty’s imperfect perfect

As colorful as anything that
can wind along in the wind...

and it begs to be felt.

Until one stands in this,
it is all imagination...

but I'm grateful you can find
the right words.

Martie,
Is it me or do I see just a hint of Serenity? Nicely done...

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

Hi, Martie.

I felt as if I was floating on that wind...

Wooooooo, WOOOOOOOOOO!  I was blown from stem to stern and from pillar to post!

Good write.

I must put "Santa Ana" winds on my list of things to experience before I die...

and a real life sweet Marite hug.

Your opening stanza got my attention bigtime:

"Your green and blue is clean
like breathing something good to eat
I pull you in and let you out
hungry and alive within your art"

Do you see colors associated with people too?

(It's okay to talk to me about it--I'm crazy yanno. )

love you!

I can always count on you to see the beauty in this world of choas and give us all a safe place to land to feel that serenity.

(smiles) Oh Martie, I absolutely agree that it's so strange how sometimes insanity can bring out the best in life, and it's what encourages the little fledglings we are to learn to fly and let our hearts beacon to the high heavens! (angel friendship hugs) Whether your metamorphosis has even come close to completion or not, you are our special dearest flower girl friend that dances across these robin egg blue pages like a butterfly, yay, 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!

Love,
Noah Eaton
