Heartaches poured into one another Like prickly leftover metals, clawing at flesh Shards of broken bottles lay in pieces Restraining, the smallest drop of pain Out of pocket expenses, spying an opportunity Carrying a bouquet of wildflowers The in-between place pushed up position This was a real place, a world almanac Like a thick mythical consign Royal turquoise of evensong Biceps of things yet to come Like warm folds of God’s wisdom Taking photos for a year book Dinner was inside me Acutely aware of what was around My soul once again mentioned a dream Despite, imagination running away with me Like a dazzling running ghost Released from existence I ran with it…. Life denied me nothing… Despite all those calculated steps School was intoxicating Old time street lamps…the governess So many starter kits thinking of me With eyes looking up History finished its throbbing tango We were friends...lifetime partners I had lived inside all these years Felt the whisper of an open ceiling the soft muzzle of a new born foal Happy bubbly...like drinking champagne with goals... Branches of underground trees Pregnant with surprise, graciousness & reality Like sharing someone’s hand During a quiet walk on the beach Not having to articulate anything… Simply, holding an echo of that horizon Watching it stream out…around, above Willing the divine in human light Desire to be alive, like oceans with song boats with a soft wind in it's sails Gathering flowers…despite the storms Despite the darkness, which I've come to enjoy Drink, I thought, drink while you can Knowing, one day, no one would notice I was gone... no one but me... I smiled, looked around, there was not a soul in site, none that I could see... stripped down bare naked, and plunged into the deep blue pool.. Realizing...its never to late |

Lee, I could cry with the beauty of your words. The images are indellibly imprinted upon my mind ~ but I think I will save it any way! I wouldn't want to forget a line! Blessings to you, Dear Poetess, God is smiling at you!  May wildflowers bloom every day of your life!  Linda |

"Branches of underground trees Pregnant with surprise, graciousness & reality Like sharing someone’s hand During a quiet walk on the beach Not having to articulate anything…" A connection, that's the ticket. Historical roots connect us with the grace of reality. Even without articulation, we know it exists. (Though we sometimes forget) enjoyed ___________ice/ford ><> |

Like sharing someone’s hand During a quiet walk on the beach Not having to articulate anything… Simply, holding an echo of that horizon Watching it stream out…around, above love your thoughts and mind...and as far as that stripping down~~ I will have to try that some day  M |

So many starter kits thinking of me With eyes looking up another treasure chest of goodies you open with your blue pages |
