A Saving Grace

in distant past, in the long of ago
the summer sun came to kiss, see grow
purple grape entwined the vine
beautifully and fully so

thick the harvest grape did grow
but came the night
upon which frost in the night of fall
harvest grape to be lost to all

the great sound of thunder's gun
all valley children
came on the run
came to save the grape of wise

seeking sunrise
seeking warmth of sun
hours before
it would come

smoke pots burned
saw heat rise skyward
then the miracle came
the prodigy was heard

in the soft, soft wing of butterfly
grace in gossamer, all took wing,
then slowly, slowly offering
the rise and fall of soft wing spread
to bring the warmth of smoke pot heat
down to the low of the grape root feet

this, then the action of sweet love
graced by butterfly wings the grove
of grape, saved by grace
softened by smiles of angels' face

cross a cloud's great landscape
come with me and tarry here
and climb the cloud and
hear the voice of grace sing clear

Kari love, I remember this one, this is the one that I did my C A on. Isn't this the one I said what's  there to criticize!! It is indeed a gem, excellant of form and a delight to read. It has a flow that's perfect and is a wonderful example of your artistry. Worthy of much flag waving and cheers of encore and bravisimi. Beautiful love as always, I love it also as always.

Take care kid

Tracie love, thank you...your enthusiasm is showing...

Marsha, I must admit I did do some tweaking...but I don't know that I like it any better for the adjustment...ah well...but thank you dear, and be well over the Christmas holiday...

Kethry, you're pretty splendiforous yourself...thank you...

Ethome, I certainly hope I can do that...the holiday doldrums are certainly hitting a number of folk...Happy Holidays!
