Blame the Blue I see a door in the sky blame the blue for you are whispering to me there and I am no longer in this chair that whips me I am too bleached for this raucous sun you say and pull me out into the naked trees until my delicate unclothed truth is just a shovel away in the sand I kneel with your eyes on the curve of my supplication what strength you give it as you warm each grain in tender turn just to show me the spill of waves Through my fingers now I feel the sifting that passes the place where high tide reaches trying to take my impression and it is there that I love you |

How utterly sweet! Nothing else to say. I can taste this poem as I read it, and the taste is good. Feel it, and the feeling is good. See it, and the vision is good. You're an artist, and your art is good. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Your masterful use of words always draws the reader along wondrously circuitous routes full of interesting twists and turns and convolutions. I always enjoy the journey and this was no exception! Warm hugs, Linda |

I can never pick one or even two lines you know that but what I can say is that one day I am bringing my pail and shovel and you and I are going to play okay? ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ |
