Don't talk to me of war it makes holes in oceans and rips the sand until it hovers over cities with grains of fear and writes with the blood of the brave until there are only stone tablets with the words beloved talk instead of cold seawater and sand and the sweater you will make of seaweed in that cave beyond the waves where you kiss my fear to quiet or of that stripe of sun that finds us and colors you deep into my eyes shhh close the warrior that would tumble across eternity weapon ready and open your eyes I am unclothed my fabric of protection falling around me drape me with dappled light warp the line of sky with heat and drown the fighter until you are my peace then call me love |

Martie, I love how your words glide effortlessly from the sharp and violent imagery to tenderness and quite reflection... beautiful so beautiful  got hips like cinderella must be having a good shame talking sweet about nothing |

You speak softly, but wow, what a stick! I love the way you take little, soft and personal images and weave them into something that is so much more..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

 (smiles) Oh Martie, your gorgeous words are always like fresh new laundry, they feel so war and are like a comfortable big hug to all our hearts! (kiss on cheek) This is precious, sweet friend, yay, 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..." |

Martie ... your words amaze me, as always. What a beautiful weave. You've taken the darkness of fear and war, and turned it into love in a most spellbinding way. Very much enjoyed your thoughts. Best wishes, /Kit |

Martie, Yes, you are quite a weaver; taking reality and knitting it into a most soft and loving fabric of fantasy, as only you can do in this special way you have with words. So talented, you! Enjoyed greatly, Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

just great Martie - I wish we could get the president and his war mongers to listen to things like this and think about other ways that so much distruction and death as ways to interact - you write with such a powerful voice - thanks for saying what so many of us are thinking - Paul |
