Storm Tuned Torn the leaves of autumn Falling falling no longer Crisp with freedom flying Unrooted and withered Trod and gone to winter In the room the window watch Has closed the door to cool And the pewter sky is waiting In the stillness of the canopy It is the watcher that binds color And her light is casting no shadow She sings across the waking storm Her true of voice keeping her From falling into pale Despair is so damp That comforting cannot robe the chill Then in the echo of her song She hears the first drops of rain The sound is the opening Where peace if found To decorate this aging |

Despair is so damp That comforting cannot robe the chill Then in the echo of her song She hears the first drops of rain The sound is the opening Where peace if found You have such a profound way with your words Martie, I enjoy reading you so much. The last lines reach right out and grab you...this is excellent! On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

It is the watcher that binds color And her light is casting no shadow She sings across the waking storm Her true of voice keeping her From falling into pale ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love it Martie! It's a blustery, snowy day here and I miss the sound of a gentle rain. Hugs, Nancy. *~ Wishing everyone a New Year filled with Peace & Love ~* |

Martie- There just are no words that do justice to the beauty of your poetry. "Despair is so damp That comforting cannot robe the chill Then in the echo of her song She hears the first drops of rain The sound is the opening Where peace if found" Such a touching write this is. Once again, you amaze me. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (12-30-2001 04:40 AM).] |

Martie, this is beautiful...and new! I can see that your Muse finally found some respite from the bustling holidays, and sat down with you, had some tea, and penned away... doggone, this made me tear up! |

*sigh* loving storms, as I do, I just had to read this poem. Even through the sadness this poem made me remember that as each drop of rain falls I find my heart releases the tears that fill it with pain.....**hugs** You are in my thoughts and prayers, dear one. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Martie, this is so heartbreaking, I can relate to this feeling so very well when I have so sense of wonder and my wings seem to be fragile for freedom. (big hugggssssss) This is so sad, sweet heart, my heart is always with you! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Ahh, Martie, your imagery gets better and better, if that is possible at all. You find words, I can't even think of...very gentle smile |
