Apples come heavy in autumn Sacks are a fillin Flirting mountain songs Therein gobbles cloudless blues Like hungry little evil shadows Morning carries ladders to noon Midday rakes the odyssey of year’s fading Picking the orchard still of photographs My soul is a curious tycoon On a perfect day Drinking dippers of water from a spring Is where I’m touched by you When all thoughts are recoded within Sweet delicacy of brim and crown When all of day is filled with sound I’m tugging at the sleeve of rhyme Which could be sustained on and on Like a peaceful coherence of forests prime Waist high green grass growing open fields Under a Tucson sun Raspberry sky meets my cheekbone Time to sit, write and sigh Engaging burning attention Transcending embryonic rhyme Little growing orange flames Spewing holdings, heapin high Drawing mental bountiful foliage Beside me, just standing by… Marble landscapes of my journey Burning slowly which evolve Sometimes changing quit zesty Powerful and resolved We fall under the rule of heaven Whether, we like it or not Those quiet sounds between words Become River People…where serendipity lives Knowing the richness in answering calls |

Oh my.... this "Drinking dippers of water from a spring Is where I’m touched by you When all thoughts are recoded within Sweet delicacy of brim and crown When all of day is filled with sound" and then.. "We fall under the rule of heaven Whether, we like it or not Those quiet sounds between words Become River People…where serendipity lives Knowing the richness in answering calls" I am left with goosebumps and tears.. this really really touched and moved me. Excellent piece of work Lee...simply excellent!! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ |
