Someplace Else Entirely Grief has the weight of pressing stone each day is one more rock on plank marveling that gravity degenerates my bone It flies around each ash alone a fluid light it rolls in me around until I've found the squeeze that tear had bound is really just the right of it in places human to recognize again what always is Oh I wish I knew this face returning gaze so mockingly mirroring but half of me I note the hollows under eyes The missing is so weep and rage at first would seem that day cannot begin or night regain a moon and all the crumbled paper poems have a face and eyes I know Pleading with apology fingers--chiseled perfectly preserved by ashes of Pompeii-- I wonder how stone people breathe Where all around once was hard rock between the listening clock time takes us all and leaves cement in form of name then breathe of flower upon the ground up from mocking fingers stand and thus would turn to grace yes all of us |

(smiles) Wow, this is such a powerfully wonderful collaborative effort, sweet friends, behind the stone there is ineed a breathing of its own so such a foreign life that is intangible must exist! (big hugggsssss) I love this, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such beautiful hearts, sweet Karen and Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (03-03-2003 09:50 PM).] |

Ladies~ I will be back to read this beauty over and over again~ I can see so many 'heart-slices' in it ... I think a piece of it is surely from my own~ Tears ... and applause at the beauty of this work of art~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The missing is so weep and rage at first would seem that day cannot begin or night regain a moon and all the crumbled paper poems have a face and eyes I know Pleading with apology fingers--chiseled perfectly preserved by ashes of Pompeii-- I wonder how stone people breathe ================================== two of passions finest...and 2 of my heart poets...how can I not love this. very cool dueting me girlies. |

I don't like picking and choosing my favorite verse when it comes to duets but this I loved~ The missing is so weep and rage at first would seem that day cannot begin or night regain a moon and all the crumbled paper poems have a face and eyes I know You both have so much style~ Oodles of kudos and hugs~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (03-04-2003 12:42 AM).] |

Remarkable, absolutely remarkable and so very descriptive of that particular emotion. I applaud you both, my friends. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Karen and Martie, This is exceptional. Heart touching and amazing how you could take the "weight of pressing stone" and the "weep and rage" and allow this reader the sense of uplifting and release by writing what I've felt deeply, yet never expressed so fully. I think the combination of your talent is phenominal. Hope you do this again. Enjoyed a great deal, Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

I've seen stone people breathe... when the weeds forge through a crack and all by force spring life to deathly stone. love the images you created here, this is brilliant! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Martie? It took a lot of time for me to understand what you were saying to me at the time... How can I ever thank you? I simply can't, yanno. Lovely, lovely lady that you are. and to everybody? this is all HER wisdom--I was just grieving and pissed. SHE made it healing. |
