Martie’s Mountain…

This
Is the light in which she
Spins, here, in mountain’s glide
Of leaf and pine…

This is where
The pines reside, the ping
Of gone gold leaf and leave….

There is where the ash
Did fall, the golden heart
Of youth….

And there is where
The red fern grows, the capture
Of sheer truth….

For in the sign of bolden’d wish
For the love of one gone high
Is where this love of one whose squish
Of hugs are heard on sigh…

Martie’s mountain is a place
Where some fair feet
Might trod…

But this is where the heart of
Martie is heard by
one true God…

Good Lord, help me lighten her
Of heavy, heavy heart…
To hear her child but once more sing
As poems spring Martie’s heart.

**sigh** the magic of the whispers through the pines are like the gentle caress of a loving hand upon the heart. You capture it all perfectly in this wonderful poem.

You capture the mountain's whispers so beautifully. The fairies and God co-work in those magical realms.
A precious gift you share.
Love, Margherita

OH! I didn't see this until now!
A beautiful tribute to one of Passions's own.
The view to where her heart and love reside is spectacular.

Beyond the beauty of your words
is the power of your supporting love for a greiving freind. Stunning write. KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Karilea~

I love it when my tears flow after a gentle read~

'And there is where
The red fern grows, the capture
Of sheer truth….'

Enjoyed each tender thought ... but the 'red fern' touched me~
