now begins the third stage embodiment of the goddess in dull patina wisdom they tell me whet on sharp days and rock hard nights spun on the web of baby hair moistened with the sweat of thousands brutal tears of more burnished with ashes maturity haunted with the sage sweet breath of young lovers slow rivers winding deep strong arms holding stars apart then loosing lessons to win now I am a rock settled in the river rills pass by loosing small pieces the sear, the yellow leaf into the future I am a silent bowl the crone |

You will never be silent, but you will always be lovely in wit, word, and voice.  |

many wonderful lines here! (such as): “whet on sharp days and rock hard nights”; “slow rivers winding deep strong arms holding stars apart”; AND, a geologist , such as myself, couldn’t help but love this image: “now I am a rock settled in the river rills pass by” a most effective ‘write’! |

This must be the day for me for to read three masterpieces in a row! I was in awe at Martie's poem and Margherita's, The sound of Pain, and now, yours... The third stage is a little difficult for me to move into, and it has been a pleasure to read such excellent and moving poetry about a touchy area. I really enjoyed reading your readers encouraging responses, as well. I really enjoy your imagery and analogies. Have a great day. ~misce |
