To Oz there came the silence of days That left the sifting of ashes to the wind As immobile I stood to watch for her along paths Once paved with yellow stone where Spring brought veins of red willow to blush While the scrim beneath fed thrush who in her way Kicked aside the rubble left from fall to find sustenance And I Watched rain Outline the form of her beneath the cling of cotton that close weave of threads twist sighed upon the loom from nimble fingered wordings that tied off knots When the warp would rise Then fall to lay upon the shuttle’s path A captured bit of fluff no more But the fabric of her shoulders or the brocade upon her throat Adorned with fickled rubies "there's no place like home" she'd said and wanted there for evermore to know “It has such good hand” Possessed a quality of owned when patterns lay upon the table In renderings as come with the soft syllabic sigh of S And guide the shears along lines drawn cardinal to a bias Then sewn “Write me” She had said in that once upon a time When laughter clothed the two of us with silk and skin While the dollar watch heart within my breast Tock clicked to believe the wizard might indeed Tailor an ending bereft of wind or storm And let me feel more Than this silence of nights that have come To dreams Of Tin |

"when patterns lay upon the table In renderings as come with the soft syllabic sigh of S" it cries so sweetly |

Kat.. thank you for the nice words.. No secret, there are a number of Oz scribbles I've done scattered about the archives and in other worlds... a favorite setting for the tales and whimsey of life I think... |

I've not been here in far too long but m'friend to read your words again is a true blessing and delight to these eyes, and to find one of your writes on Oz... It don't get any better than that. As always sir, a true pleasure... "In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things." |
