 California Winter's Meal She woke to day with morning paper eyes sliding with just a twist of wrist across winter into warm of day to be the envy of the cold and clothed gray mist As one who would shake her green eyed glass across the lip of stone to perch and see the gathering of birds all talk of feather across a lake of green she paid her fee Twas mellow called in slap of water darned to the aluminum jewel stitched with coarser eye then one who gathered colors and tossed to air the soulful glide now mated with the sky Could any day be caught with silver line held with loosened touch it comes unglued and casting into shadows underneath will bring up silver warm vicissitude And so the fisherman took to golden day believing that come evening she could count time blessed with what she thought was needed food was found much better tasting less the trout [This message has been edited by Martie (01-05-2003 03:29 PM).] |

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Martie, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I feel much better also at peace leaving the inhabitants of the sea at peace and just drinking the sun! (sigh) God Bless You, 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..." |

What is it with all the FISH poems all-a-sudden? hehehe If the time we spend alone, is worth the effort it took to cook the meal, solitude is a core of bone, it's the lesser of fantasty and more of real This is dangerously deep, Martie! But the reward is in the effort, as always. Jeff |

Martie~ You should go fishing more often, my friend. I absolutely LOVE this...so perfectly beautiful. You got me with the first line and I was hooked all the way through. I just can't say enough about how much I love this. Wonderfully penned as always, friend. Hugs, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |
