Despite the turn of pages, centuries in silken cages A vital loss wept to be found In noble cross still left uncrowned As if the wind had scattered truth Brown and littered songs aloof This lineage by sisters made Tread down the footpaths bended blade Distinct the image sheathed in moon Lingers spirit fraught the draft too soon Fuller hips and candy lips His fingers play in fumbled trips Speak…the servants quarters shall be bleak And scent is banished there Into the cool white air Until the night has coveted my eyes Events that came to make me wise And softness is not weak for wear Nor timid could we speak or share For born within the belly of creations fire Her rightful place among God’s choir Beside her man…beside and pure desire An empress in the land of will And can…I can be found and fair Beside the might of what we share Not in the less or least of call But here beside, and hostess all To do and make from give and take Her robes illumined full and wake His friend and lover Kept kettle and cover Strong and weak my soul to peak The windblown slopes his eyes to seek And warm like sunshine o’er the fields The mistress to this banquet yields The smile contented in his eyes And love…a trickling force to bear The well collected in her care And bathed upon him ever so To reunite the shine and glow Of sun that sets upon his dine And once forgotten then resign Eclipse, the empty spots before the dawn Copyright Kkh 2/7/04 |

 (smiles) Oh Kathleen, a woman's place like your own is by far one of the most special places ever, sweet friend, every child learns so much of lifes beauty from lying in the womb of a loving mother and touched by her gentle grace and love, yay! (big angel hugs) Yay, this is a treasure, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Once again I find your deep reflections and I am impressed by your talent of bringing them to paper in such beautiful poetic form. Love, Margherita |
