If you seek me from one of the fine ribbons I will be green oh the grass and leaves I will be blue ocean eyes and water reflecting yellow Can you see the opening lit with roots and trees until they make the moon a temple light guarding the sanctuary? I am singing a requiem (not of death) but into the sleep of love until dreams cannot be refused Do seek me find the ribbon that is air and wind it passes you as you look to the ground it is high and sky and turning as I call your name into just a simple flame |

M'Martie, now this is one of those poems that you hold on to, until it reaches that point where you can no longer, and it begs to be released. Yes? Yes! i think so. Stunning. love you Mxx "we all have wings, but some of us don't know why" Michael Hutchence (INXS) |

Yes...it is possible, I think, to understand a poem too well. I frankly don't know how to respond to this poem, except to say, dear Martie, that I hope this resolves, and brings you what should be. I can't do anything but hope, but hope I shall. I wish I could offer comfort as well as hope, but as you know, I can't. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

Do seek me find the ribbon that is air and wind I think anytime one loves intensely, they hope that ribbon carries them... however far need be... you've written that yearning magnificently. *S* |

Do seek me find the ribbon that is air and wind it passes you as you look to the ground it is high and sky and turning as I call your name into just a simple flame Sighs...you leave the reader speechless, and a feeling of "sure wish I could give her a big hug and give her those dreams"...there is no God that would refuse you hope and dreams...so that's what I'll do, pray extra hard tonight, yours do come true... Lady, your quit an artist...love you...whole bunches.... My Grand daughter lives now in GA, and when she speaks with me on the phone, she always wines....Mim! You come over here!!! I'm saying the same to you. |
