Sweet Release Sometimes it is so hard to say what lays behind the laundry and these damn old tennis shoes but I want to dangle this anyway by the shoestring that is hope and walk across the rope into dainty slippers pointing out But when I play it I find I am walking backward away from the blossoms and the garden is fallow listen I will tell you as this fly crawls across the screen dissecting my thought with feet that have been in God knows what obscenity I will tell you that I watch the sky for comment and see it implode like reverse gravity and I want to be sucked in in to this vortex and take this ambiguous feeling and throw it to the core to a place where I have never been where there is a cavern and the echo of my voice saying yes yes yes yes yes but it is so far and there is no map So I walk on grass with bare feet and wait for the gardener to rake up all my thoughts and pile them into colorful so I can jump into their center and toss them into what for and then lay with them in sweet release |

Martie This was beautifully penned. Can a little kitty kat come play with you and chase your thoughts with the gardener. Maybe I'll catch one and revel in its bliss because your thoughts are so beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful read.< !signature--> Garfield [This message has been edited by ggrn3 (edited 10-27-2000).] |

Martie- Choosing between what's behind the laundry and the imploding sky... WOW! And you view this wih such enviable clarity (yes clarity) ... Need I say I thought of rolling in fall leaf piles today? |

Martie, I enjoy the way this piece seems to come from the depths of the forest floor, pushing its way toward the light. A pleasure to read. Robert Joseph |

Raking them up to jump in again...what a wonderful write from you my friend. Sometimes we just have to accept the most simple things in life regardless of what we think we want. Why do you think the little things are so inviting to us in the first place? Ever notice that we find ourselves as adults looking around to see if someone is watching and when we think all is safe we just go for it...too bad we so often lose that innocense we carried as a young child. |

Martie, may I catch one of those colorful thoughts of yours and enjoy it for all it's stunning beauty? Marvelous write, as always...you never cease to amaze me... *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |

Martie, sigh... the way your poetry makes me feel, is undiscribable. Excellent as always little one Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this won't be enough" "Maree Russo" |
