Hold on This listening has me drenched Hold on to my skin It weeps words with no sound I am yellow feathers falling like spring rain A drift of soft melancholy Fading into lethargy’s drain Down down Close your eyes Come into this small place of green with me And listen to minutes stop Let me gather something from another midnight And spread it out like seeds I hear how fragile this song It whispers against your skin And lets all the fine hairs hear How breath boggles in cages Longing for the air of places joy born You paint a curve of my line Into some memory that lost me in my youth And the softness is still there I see it in your eyes as they measure The distance from the night to some morning Where waking is sweet Hold on Torn pieces fall and rebuild a temple Where believing is Here in this stopped minute I can see through the blur Of all things bumping into my grasp And for what it’s worth I understand But only with my shoes off _________ reposted for a friend from 4-02 |

Hi Martie, this is so lush and lovely! I always love your descriptive poems! I hope you weren't affected by the fires a while back. I haven't been to San Diego since it happened, been afraid to go! Corinne |

You paint a curve of my line Into some memory that lost me in my youth And the softness is still there Such pretty lines those are. You never disappoint Martie~ |

Martie Excellent poetry stirs something deep in my spirit.....this poem moved me here: "Let me gather something from another midnight And spread it out like seeds" and here: "Here in this stopped minute I can see through the blur Of all things bumping into my grasp" Thank you for stirring it...... :-) ______ice ><> |

"Hold on Torn pieces fall and rebuild a temple Where believing is Here in this stopped minute I can see through the blur Of all things bumping into my grasp And for what it’s worth I understand But only with my shoes off" It does seem to be spring in your world Martie. Even warmed me up a bit.  |

I cannot believe how much like a gentle cruise your poetry can be...but now I know, first hand. I get just as much a delight from reading your poetry as any vacation imaginable. Ergo... I vacation every time I read you. |
