Music from the Corner of Winter We are wearing thin the rooftops of the castles and the cabins and the carpet in the doorway is a pathway built of summer You can hear the fingers knocking slipping sea into the canyon you can feel the moon regretful drawing ridges on the pillow They are wearing thin the blanket lost the warmth in new of winter gone is the open skin sigh in the softly floating midnight and you can hear the naked trees release the moan of morning you can feel the sky exhale like a filling open vessel and the cuddle is all curled up not long or delicious slowly it is under blanket fast-wrap in the frozen sheets of evening you can see the frost on windows you can hear the teeth of singing you can feel the arms of winter as your slumber groans and mumbles and you want to travel sideways when you see the world turn crystal then new magic takes a window and fills it full of softness and you know the perfect blessing in a sudden turn of insight is the music from the corner of going home [This message has been edited by Martie (12-23-2002 10:37 AM).] |

Multi layered write. Winter could be the ultimate extent of life and home the promised reward. This was not a threatening winter but one observed in clever verse. |

You have just proven to me, by going from here to there ( /pip/Forum83/HTML/001872.html ) that thoughts can be both timeless and seamless across time. Thank you. |

You can hear the fingers knocking slipping sea into the canyon you can feel the moon regretful drawing ridges on the pillow They are wearing thin the blanket lost the warmth in new of winter gone is the open skin sigh in the softly floating midnight =================================== I am grateful that this came back up, as I missed it the first time around..and that was indeed my loss.... as always what you do with imagery and personifi leaves me smiling and shaking me mothy head at your talent. Now I am delightly off to the next installment of this. |

It's a matter of understanding.... Understanding the beauty that is already there, the possibilities that are always present, and the continuity that binds them together.... It's also a matter of being Martie. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Oh God, how did I miss this! It's beautiful Martie, every single word every single line. Going to read parts 2 and 3 now youM Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |
