To Stay The sky was made of clouds on blue, sun and shadow played and the wind took my heart until I was dancing with trees. To each tree, a rhythm is given. A slow dance with the palm in western connection had me all a twirl, but the leafed out shirts of green so wiggled me in cha cha down streets, I moved ‘til I was quite unfurled. To dance like this is to fly and open something with the vessel of wonder. It is as though a door calls me, one that is usually closed, and across a place of magic moves me, moves me until I feel how it must be the first time my hair winged out into another fabric, when the air around me circled space, for I landed on some greater fathom filled, yet wounded with a longing for the scent of some whispered secret joy, and a cry to stay, to stay. |

It is as though a door calls me, one that is usually closed, and across a place of magic moves me, I've always been helpless to describe what it feels like to read one of your poems... I should have known you'd have the perfect words. *S* This is beautiful. *S* |
