This Slivered Time In the shadow of this slivered time inevitability dawns, ticking its deliberate truth into the graying delicate abundance of my ageless soul. Remembering the stereopticon, like time in hooped skirt so quickly gathering midnights, then stabbing this flowing and magical life with the truth of destiny. The adventure is not knowing really where the road beyond lingers, in thoughtless abandonment or delicious beginning. Like a translucent vapor I chase even so, but cannot catch it with my fragrant optimism And I see the shadows lingering behind, then rippling as if by unseen hand stirred, or a breath from some pure faith that hasn’t grasped me. The golden moon has crowned me again and this first day of spring comes to whisper any truth, like a lover wanting pleasuring I touch it’s purple hue with this tender minute and breathe just now. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Hey Doc, you don't have to rhyme anything with evocative, it's a wonderful word. Ruth--thanks for the lovely Corinne--I feel the same about yours Denise--I'm so glad it touched you so Deer, to make you smile, makes my day worth while. |

Balladeer is TOO smooth! He said every word I wished to say! I'll settle for redundancy--and simply reply LOVELY! |

"The golden moon has crowned me again and this first day of spring comes to whisper any truth, like a lover wanting pleasuring"... Martie, you combine, so deliciously, the abstract and imagery of real life poetry. This is a fine piece of writing. Just superb. ~ Claire |
