Between legroom of song Ascend and fall Swift peaceful mimicry Ballroom dancing Occupies a central place Our hearts symmetry Like angel food cake swaths Full-bodied Man/woman Sidle together Kneading creation Therapeutic massage Yesterday…tomorrow Tomorrow…today Conviction unbuttons going forward Immortal crisscrossed paths Hear The light in your eyes From whence gallops a magical horse Taking us to a place Where we learn how to love You tell me your secrets Life opens doors Going through the mind of souls Crying sweetly of a candle beauty And mighty towers Drenched in a culture unknown But by beloved union Infamous listening brings The poet of our heart Whirling musicians breathing Earth wind and fire Unto lunar soil of space music Where we float Recounting flowers Are we the mystic’s journey? The stranger we both know With a landscape imagination Knowing #2 pencils Writing hard-working perception Where sparks place themselves in our eyes Signing up for the exposed blinded heart. I say, we weave blindfolds With the inside of missing pieces Till the slivers of blue Become open season Walking into each one One day at a time Motionless falling falling falling into smooth transition unto the revolving door taking us to a slow place where we once again become change |

I had to come in for the windchimes...the epitome and essence of your poem lies within these lines: where we once again become change it is as if I became one of the dangling implements of the chimes themselves...amazing read Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Every time you write Lee I have to cut it and work through line by line Swaying at the knees Bouncing up and down Behaving like idiots With bells Dominating everything of everything together In a message We might not want to consider Anyday in the working week But the weekend looms As do other things And we talk Afterwards of glory and failure Crescendo and magic And achievement through imagination Of music to our ears Writing passion in timbre Woodwind in echo Drums in the night Echoing a sound to frighten Those who seek to intrude Into space As we drift Drawing blinding fire To drench ourselves In light unknown To dawn and beyond As we live unknown But known to ourselves In magic of the seas of life As we fall falling into smooth transition unto the revolving door taking us to a slow place where we once again become change Lee I always love your words, your thoughts, your deception of image.

Lovely lady... As I read this, the music of the wind played in a fountain...that peaceful place where sensualities and sense combine. Very excellent. TD |
