How and Why and When? How and why and when again I ask the ageless how become the sky an opening to the whim of wondering at the window with elbows pointing out as was before time backwards the minutes leaking gathering and finally winking out the door The dark side falls into the opening of space and time light is swallowed only to be spit out and sound has no echo in the din There is fast like standing still and holes that carry thunder wind empties all the pockets of dust and blows them all around then under even lust lays back the skin a song finding greater meaning there all along How and why and when again a child’s fancy listens for a clue waiting at the window of the night knowing in the dark it is easier to hear the answers that hide within the light |

There is fast like standing still and holes that carry thunder wind empties all the pockets of dust and blows them all around then under even lust lays back the skin a song finding greater meaning there all along ~*~ Keep teaching.... |

You, dear poetic sage, are one who knows the answers to the questions we all have--"How?" and "Why?" and "When?"... Another lovely write, Martie! Love & Light, Linda |

The answer I know for sure, is to keep on asking questions and not not to make the child within be still. Thanks Karilea, Ethel and EA for reading and for your replies. Can you tell I didn't sleep much last night? |

Yanno? Sometimes your poetry is like that itch. The one you can't help but scratch... It hurts sooo good. Ed... |

"...knowing in the dark it is easier to hear the answers that hide within the light " One reason darkness is my friend. |

time backwards the minutes leaking gathering and finally winking out the door The dark side falls into the opening of space and time light is swallowed only to be spit out and sound has no echo in the din There is fast like standing still and holes that carry thunder wind empties all the pockets of dust and blows them all around then under even lust lays back the skin a song finding greater meaning there all along =================================== the answers are found in Marties pen  time backwards the minutes leaking gathering and finally winking out the door could that line be any cooler??? "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

knowing in the dark it is easier to hear the answers that hide within the light Even if more questions accompany the answers. *S* I like this very much, Martie... may your pen never lose its questions. *S* |

There is fast like standing still and holes that carry thunder wind empties all the pockets of dust and blows them all around then under It's all in the swirling, sweeping asunder! Hugs, Martie girl~ |

Oh Martie, the loneliness in this is palpable, so strong that if you could pull it out of your heart it would stand up by itself....Aside from the beautiful way you express it, the sentiment itself makes this poem worth reading, and reading again. It's something I've felt, and a poem that was sent to me by a dear friend helped me through. Copyrights won't let me quote it here of course, but I'll send it to you by E-mail. Hope it helps. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Martie - searching and learning and loving and wondering are all the energy of life and you capture it so well here - life truly is wondering these things - Paul |
