Only capable of a soft touch cannot stop the tear in magic tough it weeps too hard and scars the place where velvet petals grace and summary clad all in black of night a dream insight opening blended clear with perfect strokes of paint I hear the ship of longing reach out to wharf of wooden slats all in a row weighing heavy both split and seam to touch the nearest shallow water and there release the vent of scream |

Well yes, sometimes we need to wade in shallow water in order to keep our cool, so that we don't get sucked in. Well darn, that doesn't sound very poetic or do your poem justice. Grace and summary reside in your words, smoothing over the bitter feelings that are floating around. I suppose in time, this to shall pass, but it makes me feel so bad for all concerned. Hugs Martie, and thank you. |

 (big hugggsssssss) That's kind of how I am, I like to dive in the abyss and into the empires beneath but I have to start from the surface or I never get any leverage! (sigh) This is poignant, sweet friend, God Bless You, 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 |

Slipping back to read Temptress' little vignettes, and came across this tempting poem of yours again...and loved it as much on this visit as I did the first time around.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I was recuperating from some small surgery when you penned this, Martie...I so appreciate the previous poet bringing it back up for me to say...simply... thank you. Hurry up and get that computer fixed...I don't know if we can take a day of you being away and not gifting us with your treasures... |

Hang tough kiddo: Even those closest to the flame, sometimes don't understand the lack of oxygen... Your works are wonders...as the wonders in your works. TD |
