The tide is high, lucky tide, smell is clear and strong deep ocean smell, scent of planet life; times like these I almost feel welcome here, like resting my head on warm skin the soft belly of a fertile woman more than willing, scent of life yearning to share, it warms my soul; still this tidal air is cold from northern deep Atlantic where Winter is more than just a memory. My gardens murmur gentle mists in ghostly light onto tongues of ocean's breath saying, "Take me now; I am not afraid. I am here, use me for my heat make me yield, I will help you to remember how we used to dance before humans rose to interfere." In this early mingled air surrounded by Spring tide, Moon of Winds gone from sky its baleful eye on other lives than mine, surveying others' tears and joys, now too dark to see the ancient river I feel it thick with storm detritus brought by sea, child proud to share its treasures and its toys for free. ©2006, 2009 by icebox .

"Take me now; I am not afraid. I am here, use me for my heat make me yield, I will help you to remember how we used to dance before humans rose to interfere." When I read you it is the combination of meditation, intellectual stimulation and what I would call a holistic orgasm. Nothing more soothing, satisfying and pure.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

most fine imagery such as: “My gardens murmur gentle mists in ghostly light onto tongues of ocean's breath…” I am especially fond of the very beginning!: “The tide is high, lucky tide, smell is clear and strong deep ocean smell, scent of planet life; times like these I almost feel welcome here,..” MUCH sustained applause for this ‘penning’ !! |

A facinating poem of "A Walking Early Morning without sleep" with which I am well aquainted. Ida |
