Black boxes of night empty each from cold unyielding eyes pressed against shadows within- absent- slow bending this, my skin of river, stretching stone - rough beneath the unwilling soul Whose hands you have held straying and wading through branches of unforgiving time -waiting to steal any chance of happiness pieces of my memory float toward earth trampled under feet never learning to stop I invite you in, to soak through waters of life-- given like a good poem to fall soft from your lips your stars arefalling ----black & light with movement from crimson center separating air and water on thin lines I have such empty hands facing skyward - do they too feel damp against your shadow Tomorrow, the world will begin again the grass will turn implausible green yet even after the petals have fallen we remember why love began the original sin -- Trace the glimpse of dragonflies skimming water -- with their wings -- here, where only stillness remains I stay I came from the mountain |

I cannot wait until we get internet set up at home so I can come in more often. I know I have missed many of your poems due to no access and I can't wait for the chance to catch up. All your poems are just lovely! I tell you that every time I respond don't I? I must sound like a broken record by now lol. Tara "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." -Friedrich Nietzsche |

Tomorrow, the world will begin again the grass will turn implausible green yet even after the petals have fallen we remember ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lest we ever forget those magical moments, that would draw us into the stillness and hold us captive. Beautiful writing, and so very lovely, lady Lauren~ |

Lauren "Trace the glimpse of dragonflies skimming water -- with their wings -- here, where only stillness remains I stay" Sounds like a good place to stay. How beautiful your words!  |
