Of Harmony I take this thought all fragile with disquiet and lay it on the purple hue of sunset until you can hear the color that I long like skin it warms until it's soft then melts like footsteps wet on sidewalk lost in fragments then just gone Slow a minute then and wait for me for I am not as quick as I used to be and I look around sometimes and feel fear take me to places where bitter truth is painted dark by treasured sacred piece of me my heart This brittle life can be so surrounded in a light that in the last small piece of sun it strikes a cord like just begun then winks one last look into the pale ascent lost in crowds all heaven bent to pay respect to the monument that ashes build Give then with tip of head and lowered eyes a thought to peacefulness inside perhaps then all with struggles will hit their knees and listen to the way a chorus sounds of harmony ----- from 5-02 |

Slow a minute then and wait for me for I am not as quick as I used to be and I look around sometimes and feel fear take me to places where bitter truth is painted dark by treasured sacred piece of me my heart You fill me with emotion and make my eyes water. I thank you for every word that you write, each poem is such a treasure to me. You not only have the gift of a composer, you compose me in such a gentle way...and always, I read you over~ Warm hugs Martie |

So it begins. Harmonics only rise, grow thin as wavelengths shrink in size; but harmony runs down the scale, grows deeper, richer without fail, adds warming resonance and grace with each step, Alto, Tenor, Bass… And time is after all just time, though such a great unknown that everything, each soul that’s living, must define its own. Martie, sometimes your verse is a song set for rejoicing, sometimes it’s music to think by. But it’s always beautiful. Ed ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

The world may not sing in harmony, Martie - but your poetry surely does...  |

Dear sweet Martie, this is always what I long for and pray for. Disharmony makes me so sad and makes my heart hurt. This sums it all up... Give then with tip of head and lowered eyes a thought to peacefulness inside perhaps then all with struggles will hit their knees and listen to the way a chorus sounds of harmony Thank you, Lady....
