Close the shutter pull the drape walk past myself into the late drain of day for I believe the dark places of the night wake up change the scene then shift-shape and relieve I am too hard for the candy you describe born buttered and hot by will survive the stroke it’s midnight in the deep pool and the sky is reflective there as am I dancing dreamed and daffy in the chill only wanting warm socks and a place still and closed in my spring and folly to lay down How old is the weaving from that star a jungle tattered by a leap of faith laps at my skin and laughs incredulous with the silence of distance then judges me with kind eyes It is in this solitude where I hear the whispers of a tangible knowing light and believe |

These images you paint bring life to the emotions conveyed. Always love the breaths that glow between the lines. TD |

"How old is the weaving from that star" Ahhh...the Allfather tied the skein a'long ago; wrap yourself inside it or rage against it; it all gives character to the tapestry. Stirring thoughts you have written. I'm glad I survived the ride home to read them. *smile* |

always interesting to ponder the things that people associate with believing - thanks for letting us look in on your things - I need not believe to enjoy and learn from your poetry - Paul |

I get most of my answers in the still of the night, and too quite often see the light in all that darkness. Nicely done Martie. |

Home is a feeling I buried in you ... |
