Sentience Soaking off the roughness of too many miles in a sandpaper world Lifting layers of expectations and challenges Rounding edges that became, not ordained, now disclaimed In scented candles moody glow, forefront to the peaceful snow Smoothing oils fidelity to peaceful numbness, as my mind spreads In touch Unhinged, is the riveting drive to simply survive Reflexive seems an artistry of stretching in passive resistance Linen soaps make bubbles for my fingers to Braille, my mind at sail Shed the dust of upper crust, and all virtual realities Color and tone, as my speech, as my lips Slicker paint of plum hued rose, both nails and toes Expose…the softer side Nothing truly new, not as bright, but glowing Even as the slip of natures lace is showing Making time my own, since the winds have blown Genuflecting trees, their sheer and shape are shown Time is but a messenger for fate, nothing said that cannot wait Taking time to finger paint with care Morning hardly waits for me out there Copyright Kkh 12/1/08 |

Wow! the language is so beautiful and so is the imagery. I am going to have to reread this to make sure I get all the meaning from this because it has a lot of power and strength. Beautiful write! I loved the way it was worded though and its just really well written! Nice write! Rhia |

do you dip in a fountain that embues incremental excellence in each of your writes? you keep getting better (and better and better). my mind needs to re-examine this one to hopefully get up to the level on which you wrote this...as it is, this line is amazing: "Time is but a messenger for fate, nothing said that cannot wait" I am standing amazed, my mouth agape, my soul longing...to read more |

I like the fact that the words shine not with the brilliance of diamonds, which are hard and cold but with the sheen of satin, warm, inviting and a product of hard work. Always do more than is required of you George Patton |
