There are words that are meant to be said, there are those that are kept locked away. In the still of a forested glade certain phrases may sound in ones' head. Echoed thoughts from a moss covered stone in a hallowed cathedral of trees, where a carpet of pine needles lay, centuries old, undisturbed, left alone. Sounds may drift in accord with the past a connection, some link that is formed, when all thoughts of the outer world fade then, it seems as forever might last. Where are secrets then gathered to store, fleeting notions of days long ago, told by those that some memory hears, a recital by those gone before. Those whose voices are carried by wind as it moves on its' course though the trees, telling secrets I've only begun to descibe, much to my own chagrin, Of the two types of words only one may we tell, lest the spell be undone. |

Loved the choice of words and the story your poem told, beautiful writing... ~ARh  "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away." |

And the corners, circles be and murmering is summoning St. Michael strikes the binds that we lock as shackles on our feet praying to St. Anthony for that last elusive key lost amid the dangling of the jangles of our keep-- too many secrets kept forgot.  |

Doc, You are a wordsmith ya' know. You'll hook me with your style and nature is my favorite venue. Nice. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

LeeJ. Thanks so much. I've read some of your pieces, and although I'm more of a stickler for the traditional forms, must say that I find your work to be very expressive, in a way that I would like to incorporate more of into my own writings.Thaks again. Doc Martie, Thanks. As opposed to most of what I write, I have been to this place. If inspiration could be bottled, it would spring from there. It's located on a very small island in the middle of a river in upstate N.Y., Adirondack region. The place itself, is magical. Thanks again. Doc Midnitesun, Thanks, a departure for me, while still using rhyme, I tried to use it more sparsely. I hope it gave the piece a more ethereal tone, Doc ARH, Thank you. Big nature buff, out in it every chance I get. Doc Serenity, Thanks. So good to hear from you, hope all is well. Read a couple of your pieces of late, as usual, hit and run, no reply, but that don't mean I don't check up on ya. Be extraordinary, as always, Doc Larry C. Thank you so much, I strive to do well at whatever I do, but, I must say that this is often the most frustrating of pursuits. Things never seem to be just right, yet, once in a while, something will seem to almost write itself. Those tend to be my favorites ( guess I'm just lazy !) Doc |
