{From my Journals of Endless Winter; Mixtures of Thought Different Pages} ~~**~~ The river has disappeared beyond the bend my paint brush was wet with anticipation but how do I paint the taste of rain and orchids (or) the bold of your back in-fingertip softness[/i}? I [i]speckle the paper with color one then another start with the sunrise, orange against blue start with sunset, purple against gold ~ ~ In my memories we are always October's hues a cathedral in the ruined city, the perfect sky of arch and ash light lost in the horizon I am alone with this silent water I am still & all-stillness pressed against stone; all grey stretched over river the skin, the drop of water near the edge it is still daytime: and I search for lines in dead grass a path to you until I can hold the sky in my hands ~~**~~ Life is a balance of holding on and letting go (KU) |

grand title: “Journals of Endless Winter ” [sounds though, rather like a summation of my ‘life’] I have always dearly wanted to keep a journal (or ‘commonplace’ book as T. Jefferson called it)…but, unfortunately, have never quite managed to do so… I admire those who have! fine imagery splashed in bright-delicious ‘word-paint’! I am particularly fond of: “In my memories we are always October's hues a cathedral in the ruined city…the perfect sky of arch and ash; ”light lost in the horizon”; “I am still & all-stillness pressed against stone”; AND: “I search for lines in dead grass a path to you until I can hold the sky in my hands” This is the kind of imagery which servers as a profound ‘inspiration’ to other writers! [both prosaic and poetic] serious applause!! |

sorrowful... colorful.. and acceptance of what one cannot change but still longs for.  sometimes I feel as if your words have let me have a glimpse into your beautiful soul."too bad ignorance isn't painful" ~Unknown~ |

Lauren, This gave me the chills (the good kind)...your poetry is as vivid and gorgeous as ever. Still wishing I could write half as good as you...still admiring from afar. Take care. Amy "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" |

Lauren, in all honesty, whenever I read a new poem of yours, I say to myself, "This is my favourite" of your writes! Well, here I go saying it again! This is now being added to my trove of "my favourites" of your writes!  You make us wait far too long, for my liking, for your next 'mistresspiece' ~ but then, the wait has always been worth it!!! "The river has disappeared beyond the bend my paint brush was wet with anticipation" See what I mean!  Love to you, Dear Poetess! Linda  |
