 Mother Earth - Father Sky ~*Marge Tindal*~ Shyly she peeks from her bed seeking the dew of the morn knowing that he is bathing her in the sunshine of his adorn From on high he watches as she dresses for the morning sending the light from his eyes to the glow of her adorning On her shouldering mountains a meadowlark in song filling the valley below with a morning sing-a-long He sends to her soft breezes to carry songs across the land watches as the rivers flow with just the touch of her hand She looks to the skies in awe knowing he is there sending down the gentle rains filling the crevices that she wears He sometimes covers her playground with deepening shadows of gray serving as a respite shading the heat of day She pirouettes in colors proudly across the land knowing that he sends the seasons gently from his hand When day is done he sends the moon to set her aglow with stars aplenty crossing the sky just so She smiles in easy shadows glistening with the beams knowing he set the stars to twinkle in her dreams Mother Earth - Father Sky gloriously wed Tread her trails lightly then lift your head You will have envisioned the greatest dance of time Mother Earth - Father Sky Caught in the rhythm of rhyme God has made the marriage to last until time slips away Mother Earth for a lifetime Father Sky for always  [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 07-03-2000).] |

Wow Marge! I'll bet you knew I would just love this one, great work! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

"Mother Earth - Father Sky gloriously wed tread her trails lightly then lift your head" So picturesque Marge! I love the way you've woven these concepts together, beautifully flowing, and absolutely lovely! Best wishes, /Kit |

KellSue~ Thank you. Truth is that I'd have posted it anyway - was waiting for Enotneicna to grant permission for the use of graphics. I could just hug her neck for them ! Enigma~ Awwwww ! What a lovely comment. Melissa~ And YOU blow me away with your enthusiastic replies. Thanks, gal. JulieAnn~ Thank you. Just knowing everyone is enjoying the beauty of it is enough for me. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

KellSue~ *giggling* at finding your reply in the archives nearly a year after I was so preoccupied as to not answer it. Whatever was I doing ??? Thank you and all the others for enjoying this one as much as I do. Enotneicna sent me a framed copy of these lovely graphics. A most appreciated and unique gift. Thank you, my sweet friend.
