Something About Air There is something about air. In certain quality of sun it dances with silver and plays about with wind as lovers on an empty dance floor it holds extraordinary grace. Even the brick of old slanted wall becomes a playground for its touch, for air transparent holds the dawn making millions of colors on it glow. I think it finds the leak of time, there between the roar and sand and fills it with the perfume of millions of years around again. It is so casually inclined to fill us that the motion of our chest is but gathering for eyes that see a breast, until we come someday to find the filling and emptying is a test, its importance to makes each minute last for life and breath are too soon past. |

I'm falling even more in love with you |

GR8! The something about air is we need it to survive. The something about your work is much the same  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

For life and breath are too soon past... Superb ending...amazing isn't it....all of the beauty we have in the air around us... The one thing we must have...for without it, we could no longer take in the luxury of the scenery... Thank You Martie for another awesome poem of your skill and imagination... |

Marty-I've always been a fan of your works, this one is no exception. I remember two of my favorites by you, one is "Black Ice" and the other, I forget the title of, but remember the words of a winding precipice of a road and crossing the river of rocks remembering a fathers' smile. Thank you for all your lovely poems. |
