She dreams in Wings (repost from 9-2000-because sometimes you need to know where you've been, to see where you're going) Some times there are wings inside her mind and she can see into hearts and around corners where she has never been and soar as if with eyes of hawk across the miles of quilted land where valleys fill and spread and the mountain calls her to him with a great uplifting that captures and when the nestling cave opens in dark and pungent familiarity, they touch with hesitant wonder their differences. Then music lifts the filling moon and it hangs its lantern over the land where shadows dance long and gracefully connected, and in the glow of this pale illumination she finds a place to lay down feelings. Such a sigh clings to the canyon that it fills the hallow and the meadow before it echoes into a final note then falls gracefully into the lap of harmony. Her magic, is it sleight of hand, a mirror tricked into becoming, quickening capture of the wanting when all around is bated waiting to see what will become? No, ‘tis but a dream and she, serene and filled finds dawn upon her pillow covering her with light. |

Oh Martie...Martie! My only wish is to be able to write as you. This is exquisite! "Her magic, is it sleight of hand, a mirror tricked into becoming," Now, why does this jump out at me? Lovely Martie...almost as lovely as your soul. ~Hugs, Nancy~

"and in the glow of this pale illumination she finds a place to lay down feelings." Such beautifully descriptive phrasing Martie ... this flowed with a whisper ... an enchanting read, much enjoyed!  Best wishes, /Kit |

It is impossible to pick out favorite lines, for all are where they should be and part of the whole, which is of course a Martie signature piece, a picture perfect! ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |

Sounds as if you have been flying around in some of my dreams. I love this, and I'm so glad you made it fly back into the present, since I was not in this forum when it was first posted. |
