Up the Down Ladder Beneath the palest part of me I dredge the damp feeling a lodging in my soul let go let go this searing is begot by moon and turned now too soon to dark too lank I feel like moss what color are my curls now in weight of world pouring flood all drown or dry as drought turns skin around to lust for storm and song of wind again I am further and least all in between the lines of me and where to find the most or best when rest is cloaked with dreams that dread and purple fizzles in me with my red I must be cure and fast anoint my feet slip yes into each joint and squeak so filled in memory of ballerina danced at ten and three Hazel daze of drain I pull the plug on frown and wait to see what stars come out in black or piece of moon though incomplete to fill me with the ladder climbing up this stack of down |

I am further and least all in between the lines of me and where to find the most or best when rest is cloaked with dreams that dread Martie, oh, can I relate to this excellent piece. Very well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Your damp and dank would meet my driest drought in the meet of middle such a dance of purple horizon and green moss...  |

  Yay!!! Oh my gosh, this reminded me of my favorite childhood game "Chutes and Ladders", where when I went down a chute I was saying "Ohhhhhhh" and when I went up I said "Yay!" (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful and so filled with beautiful imagery, sweet friend, 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..." |

To follow the seasons and trade winds can be a bit confusing...but the rhythm is an unmistakable and unbreakable waltz. Wonderful write. ThisDiamond |

I feel like moss what color are my curls now in weight of world pouring flood all drown or dry as drought turns skin around to lust for storm and song of wind again I am further and least all in between the lines of me and where to find the most or best when rest is cloaked with dreams that dread ================================= So...that was you in my mirror.... I relate to waay too much of this right now...the difference is you find the words I lack...Im always grateful for that. ================================== If all the tear drops went to heaven |

I am further and least all in between the lines of me and where to find the most or best when rest is cloaked with dreams that dread and purple fizzles in me with my red Oh I know this feeling well, Martie... I think you have crept into my head and fizzled that purple which has been threatening to come loose lately.  ~ hugs of purple and redLyra |

This was like reading a good book, once you start you just can’t stop ‘til the end. A great write, take care! Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller |
