That Sapphire Wind The sky is alert with a sapphire wind that has cleaned the ridge and torn the yellow leaves and all the waters fluff up and slap the air with surprise a whisper storms across my skin and nudges my dormant with ions spreading down the canyon in a golden dusting of passion that lifts like spirit water and fills my empty and I see from the window a dance that pirouettes across the garden and I walk into it with my eyes shut and feel the wings of exuberance blow across my mind and carry me across the meadow where the earth has scattered seed skipping with delight my hands holding revelry across such miles as we are bound the wind the wind takes me and twirls my dazzled eyes to you and opens my gown around me so you can see my blushed significance for I can climb the sky filled with the sap of spring still not folded or crunched in lack but displayed and colored with chameleon Will you come with me across the narrows down the path into the glen and pull my dainty dancing slippers off and touch my soul with your wonder yes for I would be your soft air in mold around your swift rising breath until the night clothes me in chill and you cover me with feathers.

MARTIE! Wow! Every word, nuance, inflection...perfection! I want to write like YOU! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Oh, Martie, you took me there - I felt it - I saw it - how can you paint my feelings so much better than I can!!! Your meticulous imagery holds me captive, and your visions of nature and the ocean and the wind and everything ... holds me in rapture. You have a wonderful way of appealing to all the senses. I just had to tell you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent! |

"twirls my dazzled eyes to you and opens my gown around me so you can see my blushed significance for I can climb the sky filled with the sap of spring still not folded or crunched in lack but displayed and colored" and "touch my soul with your wonder yes for I would be your soft air in mold around your swift rising breath until the night clothes me in chill and you cover me with feathers." These are some of the most beautiful lines I have EVER read and I truly envy the one they were written for. |

a whisper storms across my skin spreading down the canyon and nudges my dormant with ions in a golden dusting of passion that lifts like spirit water and fills my empty and I see from the window a dance that pirouettes across the garden and I walk into it with my eyes shut and feel the wings of exuberance blow across my mind and carry me across the meadow where the earth has scattered seed skipping with delight my hands holding revelry across such miles as we are bound the wind the wind takes me and twirls my dazzled eyes to you and opens my gown around me so you can see my blushed significance for I can climb the sky filled with the sap of spring still not folded or crunched in lack but displayed and colored with chameleon Will you come with me across the narrows down the path into the glen and pull my dainty dancing slippers off and touch my soul with your wonder yes for I would be your soft air in mold around your swift rising breath until the night clothes me in chill and you cover me with feathers. =================== OH MY!!!!!!! Ditto Wils comment ... and again I say OH MY!!!!!! "and nudges my dormant with ions" OH here we go again... I dont know where my dormant is either.. (is it near my vestibule?)

This my friend is one of the reasons that I have missed being here so much and I will take this with me in my dreams many a night to come. And btw, yes, I will be more than happy to come take off your slippers and show you all the wonders that come to mind, especially in your blushed significance...  Have you any doubt of this ever? No, I think not. Loved it and love you my friend. |
