Indian Summer - A Sonnet for Marsha "She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her." NIV Proverbs 3:15 After cool winds blew across green meadows With cold frost biting pretty leaves of green Setting sun dropped deeper into shadows All of nature seemed in slumber, serene. As rainbows awakened over tall trees In glorious autumn art painted free God was making a masterpiece, all leaves Beautiful setting sunsets flashed for me. Then a hot breeze blew in across my knees And my young child heard a call; come to me I saw her swinging warmly in a breeze My soul was called to her, I could not free. All my youth returned in fervor; like steel As I flew into her skies of youthful glee As she cast me into fire, I could feel All my strength regained in sterling mystery. And all shadows in my heart turned to gold More precious than all flaming gods of old. I was reborn in Indian Summer.

Newell darling boy and holder of the stars light. This is seriously excellent writing, the flow of this is perfect, the internal pace and the construction cannot be bettered. This would be good writing with just that alone, what raises it to great writing is the way it reaches within to stir the soul of the reader. As I’ve said and so many times I’ve lost count you are a great writer. Still reiteration is always a good thing except when it is used as reasoned argument, so in this case it is allowable. This is truly etched in my heart and into my library with you. And don’t think just because you write such beauty I shall forget that you promised me you’d stop flying so far ahead of me I won’t. Sweep through the air and ride the breeze Feel the air dancing through the trees Then feel my hand reaching out to you Calling you to come and follow through Hear the whisper that caresses your face Touching you with such tender grace Don’t turn away or turn back now We’ll find a way sometime somehow  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
