Elliptical Light Evermore I am walking in a shadow that distills tactility, nor does it listen to this race of time that quickens each step ‘til breathing is my focus. I am tired of the constancy that keeps me from withering, when I would sink and soak my hands in the earth until I could feel my own pulse there in the mire fired and magical as this orb of moon that carries meaning in its circumference. Feelings are so fragile as this waning candle, they step with precision touching each stone to be sure of motivation, gauging each word for purity. I want to fly past the edge of meaning and be effortless translucent flow mingled and pressed by stars torn by storms density until I find passion’s gate open and calling to me and there to glide that elliptical light evermore.

I read this and moved along, and it kept calling me back. I returned, read again, and took the time to really read... there is depth here, wonderful depth. wonderful work.

"I want to fly past the edge of meaning and be effortless translucent flow mingled and pressed by stars torn by storms density until I find passion’s gate open and calling to me" Martie, the way you express yourself poetically is magical...this is a treasure, to be sure. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Martie, the images here are amazing, I think your earthly nature makes you a transedental being...(hope I spelled that right lol).... I think I need to put my hands in the earth more often.  Parker |

I want to fly past the edge of meaning and be effortless translucent flow mingled and pressed by stars torn by storms density until I find passion’s gate open and calling to me and there to glide that elliptical light evermore. ... A BRILLIANT light shines upon this wonderful poem...
