Through the Eyes of Rhapsody How do I play this sentient song that is like cotton sheets sweet with sunshine’s perfume and cooled by evening It has no measure or definition only it is dew wrapped and dimpled from fairy wings and you can hear it breathe Take the Johnny-jump-up in the crack of the busy highway nodding with the passing car testing the purity of innocence Mix in dawn pouring through a tiny hole in the shade and touching the babies fuzzy head with a halo of light Then add the tiny gray catfish quick and precise through twilight water in and out of mossy fabric consuming daylight’s last bejeweling Then touch it all with just a pinch of tomorrows mellow dawn and toss the sound of morning dove with an apple’s crisp bursting flavor Then take a smile and tuck it soft into the folds of velvet dreams and feel a lover’s touching tender Now all the wonder that is a minute warm in bosomed sweet fragrance and loosened hair pouring across the pillow has caught each breath in passion’s touch and that is a beginning |

 Every scent, every smell, every picture - comes through with crysal clarity -- It is like thanksgiving, spring, christmas - and a honeymoon - all brought together ~  ~*Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. ~ Oscar Wilde ~ wilfredyeats@hotmail.com [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 08-29-2000).] |

Martie~ This is by far the loveliest writing I shall read this day. Please take the time to SUBMIT it to the main site ! ! Oh, it is such a delightful feeling ... 'and that is a beginning ...' Superbly sung. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Martie, my amazing poet friend. I agree wih Marge, you should submit this to the main site and you should have some of your works publish. This is your usual exceptional writing, my dear and should be read by more than just this forum Liz |

I must concur with and echo the sentiments of Liz and Marge...this is exquisite, in every way, Martie. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Corinne--and you just did...and I love seeing the world through your eyes...I guess the only way we can do that is through poetry. |
