Some day twice beautiful becalm and gray feel the way the sky is holding still I would water the summer’s harvest if you would eat your fill feather light to destination the rake at ready you slip and touch your wrist to ground and I wonder at the change so little time has found Dredge the cloud oh day this Sunday claims the quiet walk towards noon twelve hours effective relief and drowsy picking up feathers and lighting a sage smudge just to make it through the haze to you The rain has punctured the air now under the canopy of garage door we contemplate the way each drop takes the driveway into a slurry come soon perhaps a river even though tomorrow may be never today I’ll be content with wet cement --------- For my husband, Taylor and his battle with cancer. If you pray, could you send a few this way. |

"Dredge the cloud oh day this Sunday claims the quiet walk towards noon twelve hours effective relief and drowsy picking up feathers and lighting a sage smudge just to make it through the haze to you" Taylor and you are remembered in my prayers dear Martie. I shall light a healing candle. Heart hugs~Nancy |

Taylor, my friend... you once told me in person... you were planning to see this through. I know it's rough...very rough... but if anyone other than your lovely wife believed in you more, or as much, well, my friend, that would be me... You know you are BOTH in my prayers. And Tay... I, for one, know that miracles DO occur! And Martie? The poem is priceless! |

Priceless is each moment and you share them beautifully. You both are now and have been for years in my prayers. Time to lock fingers palm to palm and believe together as there are always those miracles just waiting for that door to open. Hugs to you my friend. |

Martie: God bless you and your husband. You have penned a beautiful poem, from your heart and soul. I know God is listening. He never fails. He is with you and your husband always. Let your husband see your faith, and see you share his own faith mixed with yours in your heart and mind, and more importantly in your words. "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." You two will be in my prayers. JL |

When the prayers come down to you, Know that mine come with others too. And when you reach for strength to bear Know that your love is so very rare. Hugs...Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Martie and Taylor - lots of energy is obviously coming your way. Take hold and let it help during this really tough time - your poem says so very much Martie - see you next week - Paul |
