The hills now wear but tatters Remnants of colors not stripped From the bare of limbs by time and wind Rustle in fey whispers of being bound to the flesh Unable yet to leave and lie In the drifts of brown that hug outcrops Or drift for the short time allowed Before sinking into the depths of her that draws crooked lines Between the shoulders of their lay The Blue plays ferryman to the season Passing the one side of life to another as she bathes the bones Exposed by her running rush to Sea And leaves chilled the marrow of each day “One less” in murmur she says to me as in the carry of another fallen one she plays a circled eddy of capture belies escape Some say It is fate that holds us where we are Too afraid to swim the cold depths of her Knowing We would drown within her arms and be swept along The edges of those polished bones Not enough to hold Yet more than she can swallow whole These are not days of Julius or Augustus That might decree us free to wade within the shallows Letting the feel of her lap around our thighs This is the Blue of Winter to come That does not hold the track of foot upon sand Without the clinch of hand to something more than air Once upon a million stars ago she was born And I have cycled here as have the trees Finding root within the edges of her grace Lost upon the whispers of her name She’s held many to her fame Within the confines of narrow bed And roiled with passion to words and worlds unknown To the simple Such as I Who come each November remember how it was To touch heated flesh that might in some shy moment Be covered to the world Then revealed to me for a passing glimpse A memory of once upon a time when moans Parted lips Always searching to quench the thirst inside Us all Come Past the Journals End [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (08-09-2007 03:28 PM).] |

"Once upon a million stars ago she was born And I have cycled here as have the trees Finding root within the edges of her grace Lost upon the whispers of her name" *sighs* this is beyond beautiful....  |

Well, it's been said before, and most probably will in the future... it's good to read you again, and again, and we will ever be thankful for the dysfunctional family that was spawned... I know I am. He holds me, still. |
