Dark plum scarf of night Loosely drawn at the neckline Effortless, wingspan lifting up Giving birth to flesh of sound Like a baby boomer of eternal life Parental rosy fingers, discovering echoes From seasonal love, building something warm Composed Absolute Lettering Pulse sharing hours Blowing as it pleases Like a recharged battery Illuminating grassy scarlet & opaque browns Where streets sigh lonely Long pale reeds show healing hands And ground swells, wake early Into a periwinkle youth Halfway to some place in time’s future Making perfect sense A rhythm way past midnight When the world is quiet Murmurs like an invisible surging ocean Sprawling across the page of fathoms deep Gurgling primrose trickling millions of Voicemails of happy meals A missing thing, docking missile-launches Overtures Filling emptiness Reaching to touch forgotten dreams Spilling a stone touch, warm…alive Folding beautifully, humming grasses Of a whispering blackberry sea Like a gypsy women leaping patterns This way and that Dancing an ancient corona Like water vapor spilling mouthfuls Of empowered catalysts Ambrosial suckling scents Chiseled molecules turning cartwheels Round night sky, planting violets Of Ophelia pearls Feeding every living thing While they sleep |

LeeJ: good morning to you... I especially love these lines: "Ambrosial suckling scents Chiseled molecules turning cartwheels Round night sky, planting violets Of Ophelia pearls Feeding every living thing While they sleep" ...the sounds of these words and the pictures they create... I like to read them aloud. K |

Lee, always enjoy reading the "Sprawling across the page of fathoms deep" of your vivid descriptions and thought-provoking words. May your day be full of wonderful experiences to be parlayed into fine verse.  Linda |

"Reaching to touch forgotten dreams Spilling a stone touch, warm…alive Folding beautifully, humming grasses Of a whispering blackberry sea Like a gypsy women leaping patterns This way and that Dancing an ancient corona" Absolutely beautiful Lee. I especially love the above passage... it could stand alone. Hugs~ ~Autumn..the year's last, loveliest smile.~ |
