Where Shuddered Mystery Breaks its Fast

Come to my face sunning sky,
warm,
tease this arm faint breeze
like you do the trees.

I have a song that won’t let loose,
like leaf
it clings to the inner branch
of truth.

I’ve sighed long
as the moon watched
and showed me how to change
a little every night.

“Soon the door will open
and tomorrow will be here”,
the nagging minutes whisper.
Alls right, says my inner ear.

I am neither afraid nor out of date,
my stamp of time is faded,
not made of clay.

Bright, what road this one,
dappled light or shade
or filled with sun?

I’ll take the one in weep of tree,
where holes are made in dirt light free.
Each step I’ll place within the path
where shuddered mystery breaks its fast

and lets me know the way at last.
----------------

I am just a traveler looking for a home, finding I carry it around with me, and sometimes it's just too damn heavy.

Poems that speak to me of the fragility of passing time always catch my fancy. This is really well done. KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Songs like this whisper in the tree tops.

Those words, to point out just a few....leave me in awe, Martie. You will know when it is time.

This is awesome....I mean it.

I usually only read poetry here that has a good title. I scan down the list until I see a poem titled in a way that lets me know the author has spent more than 15 minutes on it and is not nursing a broken heart by letting it bleed all over my computer screen.

This poem makes me bleed.....makes me feel.... makes me.

I am impressed.....and that hasn't happened for awhile.

Sometimes you sing so clear there's no need for a voice at all.... In those times, you write blessings for anyone lucky enough to read you.
