For the Moon and Me I see your fire burning down, raked up and spitting out summer until all that bright sun just crisps and withers in the air. Now I see you take the pumpkin of autumn onto the porch, and know you sit in cool’s air watching time moving into change, for I can hear your chair with the thrash of rattan. The moon squats into the sky all bloated and filled up, do you see it in it’s attitude of forgiveness? We give it such magic portent that sometimes it does this wink thing and I know it is just a moon, nothing more. I see the fire of autumn you burn taking all those youthful tricks that played you, along with the midlife crisis, they flicker into bright shooting stars before they sigh into a question of degrees. Make a book of feelings now with the light in the corner cushioned and mellow turning the room to comfortable, but don’t forget to keep the curtain open, for the moon and me. 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 [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 10-26-2001).] |

As usual, vivid imagery floats from moonbeams falling from your quill. |

Martie - Your poetry just makes me sit back in my chair and say "wow". Each and every time. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

The moon squats into the sky all bloated and filled up, but don’t forget to keep the curtain open, for the moon and me. Sigh Martie, it's so real to me! I love your thoughs and your ideas. Absolutely wonderful writing m'dear. Maree |

This certainly was a work of art Martie, and painted with your words I had to view it twice, and keep it. Thank you. ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

*sigh* I just can't say how much I adored this, Lady. Its wonderful, and that is an understatement. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |
