The Other    

she is sometimes so full of another color
like a season she searches true the minutes
capturing them as they slip sand and wash
into the wealth of the moon and more become

listen to the crashing of her tide
like forest at night in creep up with the leaves
waiting for the dew all crawl and rustle
she hears one grain of sand shift soft relief

she is wealth of moon and more a ramble
a tree stands with her in the tall of stretch
and scurry things twig her toe in walk along
and jam her sway along the way of best

light is such verve and frequently captured
by the chain that pulls her to design
the falling of the magic fills the porous
and brings her to a fast focus align

listen can you hear the winter coming
across the skin she feels it with her warm
and waits beneath the waning light of autumn
for a storm to nudge her dormant ions

(smiles) Awwwwwwwww, I just love the soft and comforting feel of this, sweet friend, and may she always feel the wealth of that moon and know it glows in her heart as the winter draws near and the stars braid her hair all the same! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love the imagery of your heart, 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,

Martie~
You already know that I love this.
I especially enjoyed this stanza...

    "she is wealth of moon and more a ramble
    a tree stands with her in the tall of stretch
    and scurry things twig her toe in walk along
    and jam her sway along the way of best"

Just beautiful, and my heart understands.
Thanks for posting this, my friend.
Hugs,
~Vicky

There must be some words to describe how beautiful you wrote this poem. I'll leave that alone because I don't know how to say it well. Thank you.

I have seen her other color...
and I miss her cape o' fog...
just to smell the salt o' her
and carry home a driftwood log...

===================================


after having walked in the surf at night...I will treasure these verses even more...


the falling of the magic fills the porous
and brings her to a fast focus align


that line defines the poet who wrote it as well

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Oh my Martie, this is absolutely beautiful  and I agree with Seymour... "You are a spellbinding poet"

listen can you hear the winter coming
across the skin she feels it with her warm
and waits beneath the waning light of autumn
for a storm to nudge her dormant ions


...you sure know how to end a poem m'dear
