Satisfied Leaving the door ajar Amtrak takes thoughts onboard Orange visions paint the brain It's all about slaves to the harvest And whatever we give to gravity Lights sing horoscopes with question marks an experiment under a microscope Smoking fragments in a void, presently unoccupied waiting.... Hungry moments plead excitedly, Its time to get going time to go... Lagging behind becomes indecent I release the weights, sinking to the bottom To a place of water gathering ivy With mysterious eyes bits of bread dripping From swollen arms How does He do that? Violins inhabit my heartbeat Like a skyscraper's elevator What sights and sounds as we rise Falling into His Landscape, No longer afraid of heights The symphony has transfixed Somersaulting as I bite my lip Cradled by a kiss, a kiss of scented lotion almonds and rose petals... For a moment my voice shudders Murmuring blue nights of starving art He shrugs his shoulders while lighting candles They become impressions of hued glass There I am a vagabond, not yet Sensed or felt but I know that sounds call oh yes, I've heard it before And I fell unto this enchantment affection Where life turns over smiling handing me fibers of woven silk I look at the tapestry and there, woven right into the center is my soul yepp, there I am Understanding the bootlaces of things I write a note, attaching it to my body It reads, My Wings Are Closed! Still poised on a river bank, reading every drop I am not sad with you in mind And realize every single moment is a lover climbing, and somehow, someway, I know I'm home I hear someone yell 'All Aboard' that lonely yearning for something more is gone... there is no desire to purchase a ticket I'm home |

Interesting ‘write’! I am particularly fond of: “It's all about slaves to the harvest And whatever we give to gravity”; “Smoking fragments in a void”; “I write a note, attaching it to my body It reads, My Wings Are Closed!”; “that lonely yearning for something more’ Applause! |

Hi, Lee! I loved how you ended this poem! "I know I'm home I hear someone yell 'All Aboard' that lonely yearning for something more is gone... there is no desire to purchase a ticket I'm home" ~ "Satisfied", indeed! Home is where the heart is! ~ Inside yourself! No train can take you there!  Love to you! Linda  |

Oh such yearning caught within these phrases but yet also the significance of knowing where your home truly is. Nice write Ruth I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |
