In softened half light I can trace With finger or eye The mounds and valleys Of the landscape you offer With out being blinded By reflections Far to intense for me To fly close In fear my wings of wax Will melt and I find The descent Too far for survival In Braille The language of touch Crackles soundlessly As I try to comprehend What burns in me To be closer than here Outside The realm of you Willow bent shadows Curve gracefully In my mind Leaving a part uncovered And a part Behind [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (09-16-2002 04:15 PM).] |

It's hard to describe the impact of this one. Suffice it to say, it's going straight into my library. Beyond pretty. |

  (sigh) I too am speechless as I can't think of the wonderful words to express this wonderful poem, but this is excellent, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Ron The things we long for are often the hardest to touch...and so we long for them more. I know it is unwise to fly to close to such heat, for the burn might not be worth the melting. "Willow bent shadows Curve gracefully In my mind Leaving a part uncovered And a part Behind" This last stanza could be a poem in itself. I always enjoy your poetry. |
