She dreams in Wings Some times there are wings inside her mind and she can see into hearts and around corners where she has never been and soar as if with eyes of hawk across the miles of quilted land where valleys fill and spread and the mountain calls her to him with a great uplifting that captures and when the nestling cave opens in dark and pungent familiarity, they touch with hesitant wonder their differences. Then music lifts the filling moon and it hangs its lantern over the land where shadows dance long and gracefully connected, and in the glow of this pale illumination she finds a place to lay down feelings. Such a sigh clings to the canyon that it fills the hallow and the meadow before it echoes into a final note then falls gracefully into the lap of harmony. Her magic, is it sleight of hand, a mirror tricked into becoming, quickening capture of the wanting when all around is bated waiting to see what will become? No, ‘tis but a dream and she, serene and filled finds dawn upon her pillow covering her with light. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 09-13-2000).] |

Martie, this is so calm and soothing beautiful poem. "I have penned epitaphs on snow, and written my legacy in dust." self quote. |

"and in the glow of this pale illumination she finds a place to lay down feelings." May she always find that place - these are most lovely words Martie |
