Come with Me Come with me down this street darling, you are my darling, and we will notice the trees heavy with oranges and the flowering ones will exhale, their heavy breath will turn the grass pink. Come and see how the blue bird travels across the ground his eyes darting with hunger, and how the sun slants now into the afternoon, for spring is moving and its blooming cracks the hard caked soil and spits out promises. Turn to me and see how I move, as if spirit held me mirthful and each step is measured with the fragrance of cut grass. I will not walk like this tomorrow or see this burgeoning day, nor will you look at me with that quick concern that I know so well that comes from years of reading gestures. The language of love dangles between us so rare and perfect, come with me now darling, you are my darling, for I will hold your hand and listen to you weave your words and we will be quiet in the sunset, that is a promise. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 03-25-2001).] |

Martie~ This is just perfectly perfect ! ! 'Turn to me and see how I move, as if spirit held me mirthful and each steps is measured with the fragrance of cut grass.' Oh, I like .... but, my favorite thought is - 'darling, you are my darling' TWICE no less ! ! Love it ! *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Your specific imagery is again, wonderful, Martie, and I mean that. You obviously work to perfect every post. This one is no exception! Kathleen Blake |
