While Waiting for Clarity Waiting for clarity watching the tide listening for lessons from time left behind is this how I spend the mid day of heat beginning the ache of a thought’s incomplete I’m drowning in dignity lost in the fog searching for magical mystical cog that will catch the yearning with tenderness’ hook and wee bit of joyful that fell in the brook You think I’m just messy but the clutter’s defined in the pathway I take to the place that is mine there lashes fall dangerously close to asleep and my dire state of mind does not make me sweep Oh lethargy leave me some jumping around for my feet yearn for dancing and playing the clown often my lips burn with hot state of allure when I think of time wasted on waiting breeze stir I’m taking the slow road to round and about and have figured the distance is making me pout so if you should see some red shoes and blue jeans you can bet its my bippy walking out of your screen If you think this is nonsense your reading your right for my fingers just needed to get out of uptight the seriousness of this wanting to shout is to help me determine what life is about _______ repost for me and my bippy from 8-01 [This message has been edited by Martie (08-03-2002 01:16 PM).] |

Martie, very much fun! You have given a delightful picture of how one can deal with a bit of procrastination. Enjoyed! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Martie, this is soooooo very true, sweet friend, yes, sometimes the best way to seek clarity is to reach through the opaque and be able to understand it so then we know so much more! (kiss on cheek) This is another wonderful piece, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I remember this then, and smiled again now for your bippy, your bippy, just took a bow I remember reading, which line to pick and then you fooled, a wink and then quick to lines that curved my lips in upright and once again, exclaim, she's outta sight... |

It is psyche's brush you paint life's answers with, Mart. The ability to dig beneath the first few layers of human understanding to the whys and wherefores is one of your many talents. Admirable and talented poem, M. ~standing back, hands on hips, thinking and admiring~ jeff |

If you think this is nonsense your reading your right for my fingers just needed to get out of uptight the seriousness of this wanting to shout is to help me determine what life is about _______ ya know Martie, I think I have done this a few times myself. Writing eases so much tension its almost a healing thingie. Enjoyed your thoughts hon!! Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |
