Shadow or Substance? A shadow, but not pulls part of me out the door on patio floor to dancing again where I have been ghost wrapped to find what substance is exactly Time me out I tell the sharp sun riding behind the fingers of the leaves before I see my silhouette I want the weave and within its net a place to contemplate what faith or face? To wrap it up into a matter of flesh is not why wind disturbs the air and wrestles with this chair of thoughts the hunger leaks, not caught and stains the fragile clock until just like air I'm there Don't ask me where they go at night for I feel their airy pity without sight [This message has been edited by Martie (06-03-2003 10:39 AM).] |

some wonderful philosophical ponders here my friend and I shall reread and ponder with your lovely words and see when I come out each time - shadow or substance or both or neither or... ah your words do magic - loved it my friend - Paul |

MartieSis~ *mouth agape* Marge stares at the screen Reading, re-reading the poetess I admire most~ Your thoughts are like brush-strokes that reach across the chasm of miles and splash paint upon my palette of morn~ 'To wrap it up into a matter of flesh is not why wind disturbs the air and wrestles with this chair of thoughts the hunger leaks, not caught and stains the fragile clock until just like air I'm there' I'm so gosh darned glad you're a poet !  *Huglets* ... big *HUGLETS*~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I find it difficult to tell the difference myself. I've ALWAYS found substances in the shadows.  you are just SO good...like you, I too have always found some comfort in the shadowy edges. I've just got to quit INDUCING them. sighs and hugs. love ya lady. |

I love your spirit poems, Martie.... here's hoping you do many more. The way you combine stunning real world imagery with the subsonic vibrations of the spirit world....you raise the bar with every poem you write. "Don't ask me where they go at night for I feel their airy pity without sight" ....you know where they go....and shadows can have substance, you know. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Even when all is said and done, and we’re gone. Our souls leave an imprint behind, on the hearts of all those, we’ve been so fortunate enough, to have touched. Like the shadow from a cloud, that has suddenly dissipated into thin air. It still remains, in our memory. Even though it is gone. As long as we still care to remember it. And as long as we still can, cast our own shadows... You are a real treat Martie! Richy |

Martie You sure went deep into the parallel with nature and humanity....I loved it! I love how you use nature so metaphorically to illustrate your point in most of your work. The best teachers have the biggest ears |
