A Sigh from The Crease The window warped and unwilling drafts a piece of evening into the warm and brings the fragrance of cloud I sit with this small disturbance of air thinking of its travel through the pass that lets in magic Its sound has long fallen around the pine past the cave where the brown bear sleeps and the alder leaves have quieted after the dance that took some twirling There is just a touch of sweet coming from a place unknown to this geography and that is when listening passes the reflection of my face in the glass trying to search a dark that pushes me Back into the room And for just a minute I hear the breath Of time coming from the crease that has folded me into this life for it opened again just long enough for me to hear you sigh --------- 1/2002 |

If you hadn't caught this fragile moment so quietly and gently in soft fingers and shown it to yourself and us, we would all be so much poorer. I am in awe. Thank you for this delicate cameo, Martie. Owl |

Of course this poem has your wonderful personal touch to it, with the phrases, and words, no one else would think of including, but they are wonderful words and phrases, it just takes you to bring them out. And yes. That very last line is the whole poem. ~ My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle. ~ |

Those things being a part of your very heart and soul are memories that keep you strong. Looking for the next wave of love that still exists in all it's completeness even on the breath of a whisper that kisses your vision with love. Eric |
