I am warmly tempered, vibrantly brushed I wonder how the sculptor's hands would mold me I hear a cricket's chirp massaging me into peace I see your mind guess what scent I'm wearing I want to be painted nude for your eyes only I am warmly tempered, vibrantly brushed I pretend I am a waterfall cascading over shiny pebbles I feel unrestrained as the butterfly riding a breeze I touch that breeze and I worry I may have caused harm I cry when I find a blue Robin's egg crushed I am warmly tempered, vibrantly brushed I understand not everything can be understood I say it is never too late to begin again I dream my kiss will penetrate beyond your furrowed brow I try to walk a mile in someone's shoes I hope I will feel the revitilizing sun of many dawns I am warmly tempered, vibrantly brushed ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. ---Song of Gesture |

Oh, My, Marge and I are in grand agreement. This was superb and she chose my favorite line as well. You surely are warm tempered and vibrantly brushed. So happy I peeked in!!!!! |

Marge-- I make birdhouses as a hobby, so I reference birds alot...I can't help myself. You're sweet for reading and commenting. Thank you! VAS-- If truth be told (Ok, I'll tell it) I tend to have a temper (as we all do I suppose) but wanted to turn that into a good thing, hence 'warmly tempered, vibrantly brushed' Thank you! Mark-- These pages certainly ARE a pretty shade of blue, made even prettier with the beautiful poems I find here. Thank you! |

Well, chanson, tempered steel is much stronger but I think it's more flexible, too, because it's stronger. I'm sure warmly tempered IS a good thing. ;o} |
