It Came on Wing

It came on wing of air soft-tuned
waif of thought  
loomed by mother’s willing knot
and the minutes daring sky dark tossed

Saying   now is in between of see
a place of dream and slanted time
and if you open mind of eye
past goodbye to winged caprice
where peace holds eager at arms length
you’ll see around the curve of grace
the lovely of a missing face

I know this thought is fulsome want
and bids to see past seem of real
to peel the skin between the strands
such faith is hard sometimes to feel

I’ve seen this bless of rip in fabric
all stitched down with stretch
elastic
to leave the room of bright lit tone
to find a song   no not alone
but filled with fabric cinched not severed
between the clouds    I’ve seen forever
---------
from 12-02 with wishes of peace and love to all of you and thanks for friendship given.

Martie, my dear, I am making a resolution...
never to read your poetry
in my mind alone.

No.

It needs a voice, and you give it the space, and care, and time,
to do just so.

I marvel at your ability...
and I still want to know how
you do it.

God Bless you...
and may God bless your Christmas and family gatherings....and see you into the New Year.

to find a song   no not alone

Martie, isn't it wonderful to not have
to find a song alone? Thanks for sharing
your heart, sweet lady.

I am always in awe of skills I do not possess.  You are an awesome poet and a brilliant light who makes visions previously unseen appear and become real.

Blessed be your Solstice

Martie,
Thank you for this. Sunshine said something in her reply about your voice, something about your writing connects as if was spoken
aloud, or whispered. I don't pretend to understand, I just accept it. Best wishes for the holidays, and the years ahead.

I was trying to decide which piece I liked most, then I kept finding myself coming back to...

I know this thought is fulsome want
and bids to see past seem of real
to peel the skin between the strands
such faith is hard sometimes to feel...


Beautifully written, Martie.

Tony.

Excelent poetry....I love how you play with word arrangement in this poem, the reader must pay attention or they might get lost, but if they do they will see the picture of the content come into beautiful focus...enjoyed reading this poem
