Music From the Corner of Winter....part 3 I can feel the dirt is moving On the tips of green I see it And the sun is in the morning It is building bone on skin now And the deepening of darkness Is because the day is lighter And the crows of raucous rousing Find the open morning window I can see the breath of springtime In the creeping of nasturtiums And the shaking of the rooftops Is the scattered raindrops drying I can feel my skin get lighter And its clothe make silk from flannel For the window will be softened Chill be taken from the curtains And I want to travel seaward Across the nape towards summer Fill my buckets with the fragrant Seaweed shells and sandy dollars And I know the snow of fresh fall Will be melting on the mountains And the apple painted sunsets Will swallow whole the day in lovely And the winter will be over With its cold sheets of curled sleeping Leaving shadows to delight in Fine for feather pillowed nighttime Then I feel the warming fire From the hands across the seasons For it’s in the cart of favorites Walking with me into April No matter what the season's heart song It is the window that opens inward That is the music from the corner of going home ---------- part 1 /pip/Forum76/HTML/000497.html part 2 /pip/Forum83/HTML/001872.html |

"And I want to travel seaward Across the nape towards summer Fill my buckets with the fragrant Seaweed shells and sandy dollars" Amazing write Martie...very much enjoyed. I especially love the above stanza. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

I can feel my skin get lighter And its clothe make silk from flannel For the window will be softened Chill be taken from the curtains ~*~ There is a wonderful sensation of lightness when spring first begins to creep in... a very tenuous, mystical feeling of uplift... just like this poem. |

Glad I stopped by when I did. You never know what you'll miss here.....and so the pattern continues.... as I said to you long ago, "It's a matter of understanding.... Understanding the beauty that is already there, the possibilities that are always present, and the continuity that binds them together.... It's also a matter of being Martie." ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ahhh Martie, thank you for sharing with us your beautiful words for letting us see through your eyes. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

An oversimlifacation is that this is a beautiful poem....a pleasure to read, full of looking forward...love it "Then I feel the warming fire From the hands across the seasons For it’s in the cart of favorites Walking with me into April" What I need most now is to walk into April. Well done my friend ________ice ><> |
