Hydrating

Play the song it vibrates
listen       win
roots of trees are dirt bound
I wave like leaves
the birds my alibi
sing   the sun is warm
and feathers are my heart

Midnight was so long ago
and the color of shadows
making corners in open spaces
talking of this and that
a child hiding under the bed
waiting for feet to dangle
she threads the sharp hole
of her own despair

She is no longer there

Play that sweet guitar it’s day
along the wire where I hold on
looking for the rip current of air
where I can jump into the drift
thermal riding with my hair

It’s time to up turn and dig out
scratch the shovel take the glen
listen wind I am your friend
into the day I’ll win
the ticket heavy in my hand

Don’t tell the goodbye yet
I’ll just drink one drop and let it pour
from someplace catch and fill of cloud
a river is so written with my will
I’ll drive it home
so that just one tear can fall
and gift it to you that is all

This is so much feeling that I am left without words.

You make me humble (not necessarily an easy task).

This is beautiful Martie and so are YOU.

Love the verse above.  It's so hard to let go, I know.   to you

We may become stronger for the burden, but that doesn't make it any less, nor reduce the importance of carrying it. A poem like this....is a blessing freely given and welcomed by everyone who receives it, not just the person for whom it was written.

Well done, my lady...Well done.

=================================

this is such a beautiful compassionate write
no surprise it comes from you.
holding both of you in thought and prayer
