I listen to the weeping minutes until the sound fills the tunnel and covers the negligent dust then blows out the litter of minutes dread that fills you with time whatever that is Be here with me in only now and now again and again until the path is just one place and your footprints write themselves so deeply that roots of trees embrace the knees I want to hold the flight of wings lace the sky with some invisible string and drink your smile with no thought of what will come when day and night and day are done because there is no place where you are not ------ "And death shall have no dominion. No more may gulls cry at their ears Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may a flower no more Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Though they be mad and dead as nails, Heads of the characters hammer through daisies; Break in the sun till the sun breaks down, And death shall have no dominion." ......Dylon Thomas |

quote: Exceptional write, dear Martie! You rendered your longing for the perception of oneness in a wonderful way. You speak the truth, but sometimes we only get glimpses of the truth that there is no death, only transformation ... Love this much. Love, Margherita  |

Dear Martie, the warmth of your words are like sweaters around the heart. Bless you and your loved one, Patti. “I want to hold the flight of wings lace the sky with some invisible string and drink your smile with no thought of what will come when day and night and day are done because there is no place where you are not” Absolutely beautiful. I love your new picture Martie. |

Marti, not only would I like to quote the passages that Margherita and Richy quoted, I would also like to add to those, the first and last stanzas, as well! You haven't lost your poetic touch, sweet poetess!  Loving hug, Linda  |

Going Up!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to hold the flight of wings lace the sky with some invisible string and drink your smile with no thought of what will come when day and night and day are done because there is no place where you are not I do love this, Martie~ |

Your words are always such a treasure to read Martie. I love your phrasing. Your words have a way of not only taking me into your thoughts ... but living them "with" you .... "and drink your smile with no thought of what will come when day and night and day are done" Just lovely. Much enjoyed this. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

How beautiful your every word! Though so sad, the joy of the conquest over death, bursts forth from your pen and your exquisite spirit. - Owl |
