(Sorry I don't have a picture available for this poem, this is a poem about the beautiful St. Mary's Glacier I am so blessed to have in my home-state Colorado and the beautiful inspiration it always gives me! ) Dawn at St. Mary's By: Noah Eaton 6/1/02 I'm breathing synecdoches Married to my ear Skipping across amethyst skies in a pongee breeze There's a chapel in the sky Where angels light their candles Where cherubs spread the pomace of life I see it all, imbued in pompeian red Polyphemus moths and bluebirds singing with them all Rehearsing a catharsis in summary Making an unlikely hero of every Scaramouch Making comedies of every tragedy Shaking a tree for every prayer High above I can quench my thirst of the drought High above I am only an angels arm-length from the stars Here I can play Solitaire With the butterflies, being a good loser Watching them flutter happily to each winning hand Streaking rainbow light through the morning view Two-step in prism tango Weaving a tiara for Mother Nature's head I dig a ditch To bury Gethsemane Planting henna over all of God's country Every time I watch the sun rise Upon this high glacier I can always hear Mother Nature cry happily in verse... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (06-01-2002 08:55 PM).] |

Ah Noah! The beauty of that glacier has you transfixed into a perma poet. You can't escape your addicted to this recurring beauty so you have to write about it..... "I see it all, imbued in pompeian red Polyphemus moths and bluebirds singing with them all Rehearsing a catharsis in summary Making an unlikely hero of every Scaramouch Making comedies of every tragedy Shaking a tree for every prayer" and so on as you write about it so beautifully! |

How I would love to see your breathtaking sight. Noah, this line, 'There's a chapel in the sky Where angels light their candles...' just conjured up the most wonderful image for me. Thanks Hon. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

if a more perfect sight be that of what angels see it would be the grandeur and majesty of a floating iceworld. You must be the angel-journalist picked to write about it, Noah! Love the terms and new metaphors, amigo! Great inguenity and originality! I could live for those moments of naturific wonder, Noah. They change our life just in the viewing. tSR |

your gift for vividness and your SAT-busting vocabulary make for an incredible read and eliminate the need for a picture to be included. i wish i could find such a place. i'd say count your lucky stars, but it sounds like you already know how many are out there in that piece of heaven you're writing in. great words!
