To Weave a Basket The marsh twilight deep staining feet across the stone bridge I to keep there filigree of music starts to weave a basket of my heart Such variant day in wind a change touched by opening package lain alive from powder’s fragile mist across the whispered light of kiss I go there to the cave of be all lit from reflected waters three one rippled softly from my breath one still as never moving chest The third reflects the inside view all dappled sunlight shadow hued with sweet of longing bending near a drop in time spread out in tear I pull the plug within my soul to empty cobwebs staining goal and there in feathered imagery I catch a hint of destiny It like a coral ocean floor distributes time through moonlit door to see it sow imagining and mend hurt flower fragmenting Hold it up ‘tis sweet as sky studded star sung lullaby A canopy of slanted light reflected from the fire of sight Pull time across the plains of earth into waterfalls exploding mirth then watch the healing from the wound of drinking drought by time perfumed It’s plain as dirt on cavern floor and light as whispered evermore all parts be held or felt in clasp from answered wisdom of the past It is what stillness brings around and listening pulls from warming found in opening life times mending seam to shake out dust from field of dreams The marsh twilight deep staining feet across the stone bridge I to keep there filigree of music starts to weave a basket of my heart |

When I saw the title, I thought, "if anyone can weave a fine basket, Martie can!" And I was so right! I'm fond of writing in this style myself, and I LOVE this...it's like going for a walk with you! wonderful...  |

SisterOfMyHeart~ Nobody ... but nobody weaves the words like you do~ 'I pull the plug within my soul to empty cobwebs staining goal and there in feathered imagery I catch a hint of destiny It like a coral ocean floor distributes time through moonlit door to see it sow imagining and mend hurt flower fragmenting' You are a basket case for sure~  Tee-Hee !LOVE YOU~  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

'Tis in your soul to write with mirth of berries sparkling red from earth to weave a dream then basket caught the smiles of merriment you have wrought... |
