Free-Falling
~*Marge Tindal*~

I have fallen free
free to love you or not
not tethered to the past
past the element of change
change in degree of latitude
latitude matching attitude
attitude rises in altitude
altitude sets me free
free-falling into you
you set me free
free to love
love only
you

This is very impressive - words and shape. Hugs, Marti

Margie girl darling sister of my soul and keeper of the moons kiss this is truly beautiful the shape of course magnificent the colours utterly perfect, you know I love it. Now that is what I call a perfect blend of poetic artistry, no one but no one does these as well as you do.

As I’ve said countless time and will say countless more YOU are talented, and gifted. That you share your gift so freely is wonderful, that you display your heart so perfectly is something that I really am thank for. Wonderful writing absolutely wonderful writing. I love it utterly utterly utterly. This is soooooooo you perfect poem I love it


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

You took that meadow walk yourself and turned it into a beautiful free-fall of artistic loving at it's best.  I do so love it when the shapes come out to play and you never disappoint in content or presentation.

You KNOW that I love this...

I spent forty-five minutes, on Independance Day, watching a leaf in spin in a wind of approaching thunderstorm--it just spun and spun refusing to let go...

For all I know? It's still there. The boyfriend/hub made me go inside. He said I looked damned weird from the bar, staring up into apparent sky!

but OH...I digress...

this would look GREAT in Autumn colors, doncha think? *winks* love ya mom.

As usual, very clever word arrangement to make your point........free falling with the right attitude would be great  from any altitude if you wrote it!

Your words would be beautiful and heart-touching no matter what the format... but the shape and colors take a treasure to new levels... Poem and presentation are just wonderful. *S*

I'm a little overwhelmed at the wonderful receptivity to this piece~

It really was just cavorting with wind-blown words from the meadow of my mind~
No pre-planned thoughts ... just releasing the kite to the wind, letting it dance with ease ... free-falling, as it would~
Thank you ALL~

MarshaLove~
Thank you sweetest lady ... dear friend~
Like I said to you last night ... I am just 'receptor' ... they come and I do my best to reel them in~

SweetSuzieQ~
Oh ... thank you dearest~

Corinne~
You read me well ... thank you~

Devina~
Gal ... you get here more often .. ya' hear ?
I love you ... and baby makes another love to share~

BettyLou~
You know ... you kind of hit the nail on the head as it relates to this piece, I think~
When 'it' is out of my hands .... I must release it to the wind in the meadow ... with the little what-you-are-going-throughs tied as the kites tail-bows ... I feel them pulled up and away ... perhaps sloughed off on the flight ... returned to me in a serenity that beckons me to come play in life again~
Thank you .... thank you~

MarkB~
Yes .... as Grandma said,
"Advice given ... is best taken first."
You KNOW how the shapes surround me ... enveloping me in their splendor ... ahhhhhh, I fall free~

Serenity~
I would have known in a heartbeat ... that you've been there~

MAYBE your Independence Day leaf blew into my meadow~ ? !
Of course it isn't enough that you like it ... now you leave a blowing wind of inspiration !!
Autumn is on the horizon~ (colors and all that razzmatazz~)

Lyra~
Thank you sweet little garden pest~

ETHome~
*giggles* ... I've been known to be high on a poetic plane~

SweetSuthernSis~
I love you ... always with a thank you in my heart~
