Where Always Is

Day drains now,
all misted
and moist with ocean,
the grass still dew filled
from morn.

The webs on the bush
at my side are jeweled.
I touch the air around them,
knowing the gift.

I have spent the day
adrift on your warm breath,
weaving in and out of driveways
where my thoughts parked,
smooched and back-seated.

All the crimson leaves of fall
dance with me on this floor,
and each curl of precious thought
twirls for the joy of it.

Love is all around,
revving it’s engine in thrust of sound,
believing that the moon is there somewhere
shining silver,
and the road is up to a place
where always is.


and so I just know
that love never dies
and that souls hold all the candles
and they are the kind
you can’t blow out

Martie...dear Martie!  You have a way of making every single word count.  Each one has been chosen especially for a place, a line, a phrase.  You inspire me so!  There is so much more to this poem then what first meets the eye...much more.  Hugs for this one, Nancy.  IT'S A KEEPER FOR SURE!!

So that you won't ever forget me.~

WOOHOO...Martie is doing a bit of engine reving herself   hehe
what a very very cool poem poetess M....
me thinks all those flowers are making ya giddy ...
how else can one explain such anticipation and inspiration??  *L*  

This distance has shown how the road remains alone
Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own.

a great place, always
it's just this side of never
just don't go too far
