In the Place where Morning Dwells In the place where morning dwells you are the dew that touches flower reflecting the color of butterfly wings splendid and simple in healing power You are the cliff on which I stand in firm display that slowly changes you hold me from the ocean’s swirl you are the tender rock of ages You are the laugh that opens new and travels the path where lupine turn you are the song within each breath you are the nest a mother yearns you are the desperate grasping climb and the willow that bends in grace beneath your branches is sweet repose you are the breeze upon my face My heart is the steeple where love abides these hands till the earth to fragrant flower the breath of the soil is peace to me for you are the moon of midnight bower In the grasp of a withered hand in the sound of crying through the agony and strife of life you teach the art of dying You are the still within my heart you dream with me in surrender in search for peace and love's display you show me a magic blender I can reflect upon your grace for wherever I go I’m in your place |

Thank you all so much for your kind replies...I'm not very comfortable with rhyme, Kamla....I think I'll go back to free verse. |

you are the desperate grasping climb and the willow that bends in grace beneath your branches is sweet repose you are the breeze upon my face really really beautiful Martie. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

I think this is really beautiful! Your descriptions are exquisitely lovely. Love and hugs, Lizzie  PS Free verse is impossible for me!! "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

You work is an inspiration to us all, Martie, and I thank you for sharing it with us. This is poetry, most pristine. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
